Nestled within the prestigious gated enclave of Governor's Club, this exceptional residence offers refined luxury, thoughtful design, and effortless outdoor living -- centered around a Jack Nicklaus Signature 27-hole golf course.

The spa-inspired ensuite features designer tilework, dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a freestanding soaking tub that transforms every morning into a retreat. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with custom wood cabinetry, exquisite marble countertops, and premium Wolf appliances -- designed equally for quiet weeknight dinners and memorable entertaining. Integrated surround sound, central vacuum, and a newly installed security camera system add modern convenience throughout. Three-car garage with epoxy flooring and an expansive driveway.
