Architect Shane Ames oversaw a ground-up rebuild and expansion of this two-story contemporary residence in the Lake Estates enclave of St Andrews Country Club, with a certificate of occupancy issued in 2026. The original 1994 structure carried 4,516 square feet under air; the completed project nearly doubles that figure to 8,427 square feet under air on a 160-by-130-foot corner lot of just under half an acre, with golf course and canal views.

Architecture & Construction
The renovation transformed the original footprint with an addition of 3,911 square feet under air and 4,238 total square feet. Exterior finishes include porcelain stone and smooth stucco accents beneath a white glazed tile roof. Operable and fixed impact glass windows and doors are used extensively throughout, with great room and family room windows reaching 12 feet in height on both the east and west exposures. The property is delivered fully furnished.
Interior Sequence
A pivoting glass entry door opens into a two-story foyer with 28-foot ceilings, a foyer elevator, and a wooden staircase with glass railings. The foyer leads into the great room, which features 48-by-48 porcelain flooring, architectural tambour wood veneer accent walls, a porcelain stone center wall with a water vapor fireplace offering multiple LED settings, and a tray ceiling with accent lighting. Automated window treatments and a built-in speaker system are prewired throughout.
The dining area opens directly off the great room. A bar area includes built-in glass shelving, a TLC beverage cooler, two Allavino wine coolers, and Taj Mahal quartzite countertops. The main kitchen is outfitted with a Wolf six-burner range with griddle, Wolf double wall oven, Wolf coffee maker, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, two Cove dishwashers, a Futura range hood, and Porcelanosa European cabinetry, all set beneath Taj Mahal quartzite countertops. Dual pivoting doors separate the main kitchen from a full back kitchen with Samsung appliances, extensive cabinetry, and garage access.
The first-floor primary suite has engineered hardwood floors, a decorative accent wall, and a cove ceiling with backlighting. Dual separate primary bathrooms feature quartzite countertops, porcelain flooring, freestanding tubs, frameless walk-in showers with rainfall heads, and skylights. Two custom built-in walk-in closets flank a sitting area. A connected wellness room includes a built-in sauna and dual massage tables with direct access to a cabana bath. Three additional first-floor bedroom suites and a 12-foot-ceiling office with floor-to-ceiling fixed glass complete the ground level.
The second floor is reached via a floating wooden veneer staircase on metal supports with glass railings. A media, club, and billiards room occupies the upper level with 14-foot-plus ceilings, natural wood accents on ceiling and walls, a cove ceiling, and a dedicated bar with ice maker, beverage cooler, sink, and sit-down counter. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, one with floor-to-ceiling glass, and an upstairs laundry room round out the upper floor.
Outdoor Living & Pool
The rear grounds center on a 40-by-20-foot heated pool with an 8-foot sun shelf finished in translucent tile, a waterfall feature, and a spa. An outdoor shower and cabana bath serve the pool area. The covered patio houses a summer kitchen with a Coyote gas propane grill, electric exhaust vent, porcelain countertop, stainless steel sink, exterior television, and outdoor kitchen cabinetry. White Carrara-style oversized pavers surface the patio. The front of the property features an exterior marble circular driveway in neutral beige stone, and the grounds are planted with Medjool, Silver, and Royal palms.
Systems & Infrastructure
Four Trane Run Tru air conditioning units, four Navien tankless water heaters, a well and pump irrigation system, and a Drainvac central vacuum system support the residence. The 3.5-plus car garage accommodates golf carts and has capacity for six vehicles with the addition of hydraulic lifts, fixed glass skylights, and a built-in electric car charger. The yard is fenced with rain diverters installed.
