Located just a short bike ride or a brisk walk from Manasota Beach is found Lemon Bay Estates and within the gates a beautiful estate dubbed Casa Sena. Lemon Bay Estates is gated for the privacy and protection of the 9 estate homes (10 if you include the resident Bald Eagle!) residing within this hidden gem (additionally Casa Sena has its own private gate). As you pull through the gates of this marvelous 4300+ sqft. home you are greeted by a double lot of over 2 acres with a long paver drive leading to the home and what feels like an endless private oasis. It was built to be the most private home in the community and is surrounded by Lemon Bay preserve and an internal preserve. To the right is the private tennis court with the latest custom lighting system and surrounded by 20 ft. fish tale palms and bracketed by towering Italian Cypress trees. The home was built to above hurricane standards with all impact windows and doors block walls to the top and even the second floor is concrete. Entering the home you are immediately mesmerized by soaring ceilings and one of the most beautiful chandeliers you will/have ever seen. You are then drawn across the marble floors to the beautiful designer pools and hot tub surrounded by a travertine paver deck and more tropical Florida flora. The left side of the home houses the oversized office and the master bedroom. The master features some of the same beautiful views over the pool and an amazing bathroom with a roman shower and a soaking tub with a large picture window with views reminiscent of a Monet painting. The kitchen, overlooking the family room, has double ovens, a prep island and large pantry. There is a guest bedroom downstairs for your guests who do not do stairs. The family room adjacent to the kitchen also open out the pool area. The dining room is on the other side of the kitchen and easily seats even your largest dinner parties. Upstairs you will find a junior master suite, 2 other large guest bedrooms a second family room and an outdoor balcony overlooking the pool and wonderful grounds. As amazing as it is during the day it only gets better at night as the grounds a beautifully lit by a abundance of custom designed landscape lighting and the afore mentioned tennis court lighting.
