St. Augustine, FL 32092

A rare expression of refined living, this Arthur Rutenberg custom-built residence was thoughtfully and completely reimagined in 2025 for the buyer who values privacy, craftsmanship, and enduring design. Never lived in since its transformation, the home sits gracefully on a 0.57-acre private estate lot, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping lake and championship golf course views. Lush, mature landscaping frames the property, creating a sense of seclusion while enhancing the home's natural connection to its serene surroundings. Designed for effortless living and entertaining, the home unfolds across a single level with spacious, light-filled interiors that balance formal elegance with relaxed comfort. Wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood floors run throughout, anchoring the space with warmth and continuity, while detailed millwork, wainscoting, and smooth ceilings elevate every room. Expansive 90-degree pocket sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening the main living areas to the pool terrace and outdoor kitchen for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is both a showpiece and a working masterpiece, appointed with Mont Blanc quartzite countertops and full-height backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a suite of top-of-the-line Bosch Benchmark appliances, including induction cooking and advanced convection and speed-oven technology, and two Bosch 800 Series crystal dry dishwashers  ideal for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, thoughtfully separated from secondary bedrooms and designed as a true retreat. California custom closets provide tailored storage, while the completely reimagined ensuite bath evokes a spa-like experience with curated finishes, honed stone surfaces, custom vanities, a frameless and curbless glass shower, Kohler fixtures, and an indulgent soaking tub. Secondary baths and powder room continue the home's elevated aesthetic with refined stone and quartz finishes, new vanities, and designer fixtures, reflecting a cohesive design vision throughout. Outdoors, the lifestyle continues with a resort-inspired setting designed for relaxation and entertaining alike. A newly resurfaced and retiled pool and spa take center stage, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with stone countertops and premium fixtures. The expansive estate lot offers both scale and privacy, with uninterrupted lake-to-golf course vistas that create a breathtaking backdrop from nearly every gathering space. An oversized three-car garage, upgraded mechanical systems including a HEPA filtration HVAC system, new lighting inside and out, and fresh interior and exterior paint complete the residence with thoughtful precision. Beyond the home itself, life unfolds behind the private gates of The King & The Bear  World Golf Village's most sought-after resort community. Residents enjoy an exceptional amenity collection, including a beach-entry leisure pool, heated lap pool, fitness center, and elegant clubhouse, all anchored by the iconic championship golf course co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Here, luxury extends beyond the front door, offering a lifestyle defined by world-class golf, resort-style living, and the quiet prestige of an established, gated enclave.
