Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac at 250 Llwyds Lane in John’s Island is a home where the natural world mixes beautifully with glam-our and luxury.

It is a home that elevates you – a bright happy place that epitomizes el-egance. It’s where a woman could see herself sashaying through the easy-flow rooms in a floaty floral gown or a man enjoying his eggs and juice in a sunny breakfast nook before a golf game within eyeshot of the fairway. The handsome office with its broad view of the backyard and pool is the perfect spot to delve into some mind-ful letter-writing or catch up on work and reading.

The West Indies-style house with 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 2 half-baths is listed by Matlide Sorensen of Dale Sorensen Real Estate Inc. for $5,100,000. It offers not just a splash of elegance and comfort but a tremen-dous feeling off Zen-like serenity.

The layout and abundant natural

light that brighten its large rooms is indeed conducive to varying interior decorating styles – the current one celebrates the home with vibrant colors, exquisite fabrics and tasteful touches throughout.

Built at the end of charming and neighborly Llwyds Lane, the house masterfully captures views of the 1st and 18th fairways from different van-tage points, with the upstairs balcony at the back of the house overlooking the green course beyond, and the bal-cony located in the front of the stately home providing views of those arriv-ing at the house and another fairway in the short distance.

Privately set, this 6,800-plus

square foot home exudes island liv-ing at its best.

“This well-conceived residence is located on a quiet cul-de-sac with sweeping golf course views,” said Matilde Sorensen, who sells many of the finest homes on the island. “De-signed by architect Randall Stofft and built by Island Building Company, the residence features more than 9,000 gross square feet and has a so-phisticated, yet relaxed feel.”

It is designed for entertaining, she added.

Entering the home’s 2-story-high foyer, a visitor sees a staircase set off to the side that gracefully wends its way upstairs; the spacious living

room is straight ahead – warm and welcoming – with a fireplace, plenty of places to sit and three sets of French doors leading to a covered lanai, pool and grassy area. Tropical plants pro-vide more wonderful things to look at through the windows and doors.

To the left of the 19-foot by 19-foot living room is a spacious 20-foot by 16-foot office/den with large win-dows and transoms, handsome cus-tom built-ins and tray ceiling with recessed lighting. Crown molding throughout the house offers an extra element of elegance.

A 23-foot by 16-foot master suite on the first floor consists of a large sitting area with white carpet, his and her bathrooms with all of the fine touches such as seamless show-ers, toilet rooms, dual vanities and walk-in closets. The dual bathrooms are adjoined by a workout room tucked nicely into a private corner of the house. The expansive master bedroom offers easy access to its own private covered lanai with the pool nearby.

dinner guests. A door leads to the 25-foot by 15-foot gourmet kitchen with extensive countertop seating around it, and Viking appliances. There are 2 sinks – one located in the island which includes a pot cleaner.

The kitchen is mostly accessed through the main hallway where a butler’s pantry with wine cooler is also located. The hallway provides access to the great room which of-

fers a breakfast nook, 21-foot by 21-foot family room and the kitchen. Access to a spacious, covered lanai is here too, and a summer kitchen of-fers another place from which to cook and serve with the garden providing a lovely setting.

The pool overlooks the fairways, and tropical plantings provide cool-ness and shade on those steamy sum-mer days. The guest house with bed-

room and full bath has its own private entry and yard which make it ideal for guests who enjoy some privacy of their own.

A powder room, cabana bath, laun-dry room and access to a 3-car garage are also on the first floor of the house made of concrete block with stucco.

Upstairs are 3 large guest suites with en suite baths. A covered balcony on the second floor is easily accessed

through each of the guest rooms. A front balcony offers additional tran-quil views of the golf course.

The house is well located in the stunning John’s Island private, luxu-rious, ocean-to-river community on Vero’s delightful barrier island. John’s Island offers a picturesque seaside landscape and world-class amenities, including fine dining, golf, tennis, fit-ness center, beach club and more.
