Arrival & First Impressions:
From the moment you turn onto Clayton Court, you sense this home is different. A newly installed paver driveway and walkway set the tone -- this is a home that has been loved and invested in. Majestic old oak trees frame the property with the kind of character that only time can give, while lush, thoughtful landscaping creates instant curb appeal. The front porch is no afterthought -- it's wide enough for four rocking chairs and long conversations with neighbors, the very soul of Southern hospitality.
The front door itself is a statement: stunning leaded glass flanked by sidelights with an eyebrow window above, hinting at the craftsmanship waiting inside.
A Foyer That Sets the Stage:
Stepping inside, the foyer opens with immediate drama -- hardwood floors that gleam underfoot, tall baseboards, crown molding, and 11-foot ceilings that make you breathe a little deeper. Elegant columns frame the formal dining room to the left; to the right, French glass doors invite you into a generous, light-filled office.
Dining Room & Office:
The formal dining room is dressed for the occasions that matter -- chair rail, wainscoting, custom plantation shutters, and a prominent light fixture that anchors the room where holidays, birthdays, and Sunday dinners unfold. The office is equally refined: hardwood floors, glass French double doors, and neutral tones that create the calm focus every work-from-home professional craves. Both rooms feel purposeful, polished, and personal.
The Kitchen -- A True Heart of the Home:
The remodeled kitchen is where this home earns its standing ovation. Forty-two-inch cabinets crowned with decorative molding have been finished in an elegant hue that harmonizes beautifully with the warm wood floors and rich granite countertops. Stainless appliances include a 5-burner gas range for the serious cook and a French door refrigerator. Copper hardware and pendant lighting add warmth and a designer's touch, while recessed lighting ensures every corner is well lit. Pull-out shelving throughout the cabinets and pantry make organization effortless. A center island and recently added cabinetry offer even more prep and storage space. The integrated butler's pantry -- complete with wine refrigerator -- makes entertaining feel natural. The kitchen opens gracefully to the breakfast nook and family room, keeping the chef connected to the people they love.
Family Room:
The family room is nothing short of breathtaking. A nearly two-story vaulted ceiling draws the eye upward, while the focal gas fireplace -- dressed in light-colored marble and stone -- anchors the room with warmth and texture. Flanking the fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry with recessed alcoves offers both beauty and function, and conveys with the property. This is the room where movie nights happen, where guests linger after dinner, where life is actually lived.
Primary Suite:
A Private Sanctuary The main-floor primary suite is a retreat within a retreat. Spacious and serene, it features plush carpet underfoot, a stunning double tray ceiling, and plantation shutters that filter Florida's golden light just so. His-and-hers closets with custom closet systems keep everything beautifully organized. The ensuite bathroom is spa-worthy: dual vanities plus a dedicated makeup sink between them, a separate shower with full-length upgraded showerheads, a soaking tub with its own tray ceiling above, and a private water closet. Refreshed cabinetry, new hardware, and updated plumbing fixtures bring a fresh, modern elegance to the space. Even a linen closet is tucked thoughtfully inside.
Laundry & Half Bath:
The large laundry room is outfitted for real life -- front-loading washer and dryer, a utility sink, three sets of cabinets, and a hanging rack. Even the half bath has been modernized with updated fixtures, because in this home, no detail was overlooked
Upstairs:
Room for Everyone Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two fully remodeled bathrooms offer flexible, comfortable living. Two bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans, and one includes a murphy bed -- transforming it effortlessly from guest room to home gym to creative studio. The third upstairs bedroom is truly special: accessed by a few charming steps, it sits above the garage and features dormer windows that flood the space with personality and light. With its own ensuite bathroom and generous closet with attic access, this room functions beautifully as a private guest suite, a teenager's dream retreat, or the ultimate flex space.
The Outdoor Living Experience:
Step outside and discover the Florida lifestyle at its finest. A large covered porch with two ceiling fans invites you to linger -- morning coffee, evening wine, or simply watching the fountain dance in the pool. The sparkling pool and expansive paver deck create a resort-worthy backdrop for every occasion. A hot tub for quiet evenings. A firepit for gathering under the stars. All within a fully fenced yard that feels both private and welcoming. This is the outdoor living space that makes people fall in love with Florida all over again.
The Details That Protect Your Investment: An oversized two-car garage provides generous storage beyond the vehicles. A water softener, irrigation system, and a roof installed in 2020 offer the peace of mind every buyer deserves.
King & Bear:
A Community Like No Other Beyond the property line, the King & Bear community elevates everyday life. This is the only golf course in the world where Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus joined creative forces -- and recent course improvements have only deepened its allure for avid golfers. Open to the public, yet resident members enjoy priority play and an affordable initiation fee. Golf, tennis, pickleball, dining -- this community offers something genuinely wonderful for every member of the family, at every stage of life.
