6121 KESTRELRIDGE DRIVE LITHIA FL 33547 MLS #T3548973 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

This newly renovated Arthur Rutenburg home is one you won’t want to miss. When you walk in the front door, you’ll see a beautiful view of the pool and conservation area behind it and soaring 12-ft ceilings. Then walk into the completely renovated large, open kitchen with modern high-end appliances. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a one-of-a-kind huge (10’8” x 5’9”) custom island with a translucent Cristallo quartzite countertop that is lit from beneath, creating an incredibly warm feel that you have to see in person to fully appreciate. You’ll love sitting around this island, and your guests will be wowed! The kitchen and eating area also have great views of the pool and nature, and the kitchen has a walk-in pantry, plenty of additional storage, including lit glass cabinets, a 48” gas stove that is a chef’s dream, and a large farm sink, Insinkerator instant hot water (nearly boiling), drawer microwave in island, and a separate butler’s pantry with separate mini refrigerator and lit cabinetry. But not all cooking needs to be inside! Beautifully renovated outdoor summer kitchen includes two mini refrigerators, a 40” Summerset gas grill, two separate built-in gas burners, a sink, a built-in ice chest, pop-up electrical outlets in counter, and beautiful quartzite and stacked stone. The landscaping in the large screened pool area that faces a conservation area gives it a lush green feel. The trees and plants within the screened area make it very relaxing, and you and your guests will feel like you’re at a resort. Fifteen large windows look out to the lush pool area, and 5 are sliding glass doors that open fully. Because the pool is completely screened in, this gives the house fantastic open-air living most of the year. It’s amazing. In addition to 4 bedrooms, there is a separate office that could easily be converted to a 5th bedroom if desired. All secondary bedrooms have spacious walk-in closets. Two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom. The primary bedroom is very large with a sitting area and has two huge walk-in closets and an enormous bathroom with a large Jacuzzi tub and double shower. The house has 4,131 sq. feet all on a single floor, sits on one of the best conservation lots in all of Fishhawk, and it offers extraordinary privacy with a large fenced yard for kids and dogs to run around.
