Welcome home to the creme-de-la-creme: 96555 McArthur Estates Drive! For the first time, one of the only three lakefront estate homes in the posh, 15 homesite GATED community of McArthur Estates is available. Ultra private & positioned w/ an east-west orientation, this custom residence exudes elegance. As you arrive, you are greeted home to the paver driveway adorned w/ a stately Live Oak tree, THREE BAY garage w/ EV Charging Station; Galvalume Roof and Hardi-Board Plank & Shake Siding w/ a stacked stone facade and Bahama Shutters. Upon entering, you pass through the double entry doors and are instantly beholden to the grand, soaring & coffered ceilings and copious amount of natural light via the transom windows & stacking sliding glass doors. #96555 omits no detail: a chef's kitchen to live for, equipped w/ gas; seemingly endless cabinetry & storage w/ Quartz Countertops; WALK-IN PANTRY, coffee bar & dedicated WINE CLOSET; formal dining & den; an open, airy living space that you will ultimately want to spend all of your evenings enjoying prior to retreating into your lakefront owner's suite; a magnificent owner's bath- w/ ZERO-ENTRY shower + his & her vanity spaces- and dressing room w/ laundry drop. A second, first floor suite that could also double as a flex/bonus space awaits visiting guests on the opposite side of the home. Upstairs you will find space for more visitors in one of three bedrooms- each w/ ensuites and access to yet another flex space. If the interior amenities have not checked enough boxes thus far, you will find a thoughtfully designed outdoor living space w/ summer kitchen. 96555 McArthur Estates Drive is exactly what you have been looking for on Amelia Island.
