Description of Property
Welcome to "Palm Etto", a fully restored Florida mid-century modern masterpiece in Palmetto’s desirable river district, designed by renowned architect Richard Haskell Slater. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home, transformed in 2023/2024, seamlessly blends timeless design with modern luxury and lives larger than its footprint. Step through the gated entry, where a cascading water fountain and koi-filled pond create an instant sense of tranquility. Enjoy your morning coffee in “Koi Korner,” a peaceful southwest-facing nook, watching fish play and lily pad flowers bloom. True to its mid-century roots, floor-to-ceiling hurricane-rated impact glass with motorized shades merges indoor and outdoor living, while architectural surprises delight throughout. Original pecky cypress accents highlight the great room wall and two interior barn doors. The vaulted ceiling in the extended great room enhances the airy feel. Currently styled as a workspace, this flexible space could serve as a second dining or game room. Wide-plank neutral tile and a black, white, and natural palette create a cohesive, modern aesthetic. The kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, three lazy Susans, a built-in waste/recycling station, and a large fireclay farmhouse sink. New Samsung Bespoke white glass appliances (2024) are at its heart, including a gas multi-function range and whisper-quiet dishwasher. An under-sink reverse-osmosis system provides crystal-clear water. The adjacent Laundry/Pantry offers abundant storage and a large utility tub. The oversized primary suite, created by combining two former bedrooms, is a luxurious retreat with space for a sitting area, a king-sized bed and more. The custom walk-in closet offers ample storage, while the spa-inspired ensuite boasts a soaking tub and dual shower. A new vanity adds storage and a glass-paned door leads directly to the pool. The second bedroom features a charming alcove, a private pool door, and an oversized window showcasing swaying palms and the pool. Step outside to a custom saltwater pool (2023) with a sun ledge, twin fountains, a fire bowl, and a dazzling multi-function light show, all framed by a travertine deck. A secondary paver terrace off the living room slider expands your entertaining options.The lush, tropical landscaping consisting of a mix of hard and soft scaping, accented by a raised planter capable of holding over 40 large potted plants, enhances privacy while remaining surprisingly low-maintenance. This fully fenced double lot offers space for a tiki bar, meditation area, and boat or RV parking.
