This contemporary residence, designed by the preeminent subtropical modernist architect Max Strang and completed in 2020 in the guard-gated community of Hammock Lakes, takes advantage of its surroundings and climate to embrace the true indoor-outdoor Floridian lifestyle. Inspired by midcentury architecture, with elements such as persiana louvers and deep, overhanging eves for shade, the 7,246 square-foot home offers generous spaces for entertaining on a grand scale with oversized, impact-resistant doors that recess to connect to the sprawling poolside terrace with cabana kitchen, all surrounded by lush native landscaping. Beyond is an elegant grand staircase, a formal dining room, seven bedrooms, a lavish master suite, a two-car garage, and an additional double carport off the main entry.
