Set within a private, gated enclave of Aberdeen within the confines of the exclusive Ardea Country Club, this Mediterranean-inspired pool home delivers resort-style living with all the security of a gated community. The home sits directly on the 17th tee box of the North Course, offering unobstructed golf views and lush green surroundings. From the moment you arrive, the red barrel-tile roof and brick-and-stone façade make a strong first impression. Step inside to discover soaring ceilings, plantation shutters and rich hardwood floors. The open floor plan flows effortlessly from the great room, with its brick fireplace and custom built-ins, to the updated kitchen featuring dark wood cabinetry, a granite island and stainless appliances. Formal and casual dining areas offer flexibility for everyday meals or entertaining. The expansive owner’s suite is a true retreat. In addition to a sitting area with built-in shelving and a luxe bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub, the suite opens onto a private deck/lounging area, a perfect spot for morning coffee overlooking the fairway. Additional bedrooms and baths are generous and tastefully appointed. Outdoor living is exceptional: a covered lanai with ceiling fans and outdoor TVs connects to a screened pool and paver deck. Beyond the screen, enjoy an artificial putting surface for practicing your short game and a paver patio with Adirondack-style seating that frames sweeping golf-course views. Mature trees and hedges provide privacy, yet the vistas remain open and serene. This property combines the prestige of Ardea Country Club, the security of a gated neighborhood, and luxurious indoor/outdoor spaces plus unique perks like your own putting green.
