Eagle Rock Estates at its very best! This parcel was handpicked by the developer as his personal building site, featuring 8 acres of green grass shaded by live oaks, magnolias and a healthy pine forest. The stately home pays homage to George Washington's Mount Vernon estate and is centered perfectly within the serene, natural, private park setting where deer graze daily around a stocked private pond. Step inside to become immersed in the subtle charm of traditional Georgian architecture, complemented by casual, contemporary appointments within the bright, open floorplan situated beneath 10 ft ceilings throughout the first floor. Enter the home to find a grand foyer where a handsome brick fireplace is the centerpiece of the main living spaces and serves as a subtle buffer between the sprawling island kitchen and the gracious dining, entertaining and relaxing spaces, which are flooded with soft natural light through generous window spaces. A lovely floating staircase leads to the second floor where you will find 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a dedicated laundry room and a half wall landing den that could serve as a home office or gym. The primary suite leaves nothing to be desired, featuring a spectacular bath with double raised wash basins, a beautiful clawfoot tub and a tremendous shower with exquisite tile work. His closet is a gracious walk-in with custom built-ins while she enjoys a fabulous 9x15 wardrobe with a sophisticated closet system, incredible storage and custom make-up prep station. The two additional bedrooms share a lovely common bath. An arched, covered breezeway leads from the main home to the oversized detached bonus room, which could become full guest quarters, a corporate home office or the ultimate children's (or adult) playroom. This tremendous, separate structure measures 25x23 and served the original owners as a library; however, the options for the next owner are plentiful. Originally constructed for the developer/contractor as his personal home to high standards and that integrity is evident as you walk through the home today. While almost all of the neighboring properties in this coveted, gated equestrian community are 5 acres, the developer took the opportunity to carve out 7.97 acres at the end of peaceful Winchester Road ensuring complete privacy. He also secured the iconic address of "45 Winchester" for his to scale rendition of one of our nation's most treasured homes. Eagle Rock Estates is truly a one-of-a-kind gated community with a clubhouse, pool and equestrian rink. Locals love its close proximity to the heart of Ormond Beach and the predictable peace and quiet that comes with a community where just 65 neighboring homesites enjoy a minimum of 5 acres. This property has been priced to sell and while the photos and virtual tour tell the story, it must be visited in person to fully appreciate the value offered here.
