16221 Ternglade Drive

This one-of-a-kind, custom home is waiting for you. Built by Homes by John C. Fowke, no detail was too small and no expense was spared in its two-year construction. Inspired by Mediterranean villas, this home exudes luxury, comfort and elegance in the highly desirable, gated enclave of Tern Wood in FishHawk Ranch. Nestled on a wooded, .75-acre lot, this stately home sits on a conservation lot with easy walking access to nature trails, shopping and A-rated schools. A long, brick-paved driveway is surrounded by lush landscaping as you approach the house. An impressive turret shrouds the wrought-iron, custom doors that welcome you home. Soaring, 14-foot ceilings grace the foyer and travertine flooring greets the eye as far as you can see. Step into the lavish living room with imported, solid travertine columns and a custom fireplace with matching columns topped by beautifully carved lion heads. You will not find another fireplace like it. A formal dining room makes entertaining a breeze with its own wet bar, fridge and plentiful storage. The adjoining kitchen is a gourmand’s dream, with an equally impressive, carved travertine hood of unique design and a custom-ordered, red-enamel LaCanche stove that was imported from France exclusively for this house. Professional chefs would cherish the stove’s cast-iron traditional plate, the electric plancha and five gas burners. Enjoy the flexibility of an electric and gas oven, as well as a warming drawer to keep your food at the perfect temperature. The Sub-Zero refrigerator is beautifully integrated into the timeless kitchen by custom, furniture-grade wood panels. Storage is not a concern in the enormous walk-in pantry that features an onyx countertop and built-in shelves. The open kitchen and family room are crowned by custom wood beams, and light bathes the large family room from expansive sliding glass doors on two sides. Escape to the lanai and feel the treehouse effect of the surrounding woods as you enjoy the welcoming quiet of the conservation lot. On the lanai, relax in front of the masterfully carved, solid-travertine fireplace or choose the nearby gas firepit at the base of the heated pool’s infinity edge and spa. Customize the outdoor kitchen to your liking with the pre-plumbed water and gas hookups and vent for an exhaust fan. The gorgeous primary suite features a large bedroom with a tray ceiling and ample sitting room. The primary bathroom is understated elegance with soothing tones for maximum relaxation. The huge shower features a double entry on either side of the Jacuzzi tub, which has space enough for two. Cool blue marble tops the counters of the separate vanities, which feature furniture-style legs and a make-up area. The private water closet is complete with a freestanding bidet.  Next to the bedroom, a wet bar with refrigerator makes trips to the kitchen for coffee or late-night snacks unnecessary. Indulge yourself with two large closets with built-ins in the primary suite hallway. You will never want to leave the sanctuary of this stunning wing. Two other bedrooms feature a Jack-n-Jill bathroom with linen closet and a separate area for the double sinks as well as privacy for the shower and toilet. A fourth bedroom features an en suite bathroom with its own linen closet and large walk-in shower. The hallway of this wing has two closets that satisfy the largest of storage needs. Ready to settle in for game night or a movie? The expansive bonus room features its own wet bar with refrigerator and enough room to watch the large TV or store exercise equipment. To tidy up and wash clothes, the huge laundry room features a farm-house sink, plenty of built-in cabinets and a large granite counter for folding laundry. A spacious walk-in closet in the laundry room is the perfect spot to store anything from Christmas decorations to sports equipment. Every detail for luxury, comfort and storage was meticulously planned for this unique home. Extra space even abounds in the oversize three-car, side-entry garage and brick-paved parking area at its front. Maintaining the landscaping is a cinch with irrigation system with crystal-clear well water. FishHawk Ranch offers community recreational amenities such as clubhouses, pools, tennis courts, miles of walking trails, fishing ponds and even a dog park. Located in an A-rated school district, FishHawk Ranch is just over an hour away from Disney, Universal Studios and Florida’s top beaches. This home is the complete package of luxury, comfort and elegance. Don’t miss the opportunity to own one of the most unique and custom homes in the area – no detail was overlooked.
