Truly wonderfull mansion located in one of my favorite and best areas of FL.The interior in some rooms are beautiful and well done, but I really detest the kitchen room. Overall, it’s a great estate in a very affluent area with space and great amenities,which always help to sell.
I would have to gut the interior. Too 1980′s. The outside is nice.
The bones of the house are decent but I would pull out all the furnishings and start over. The master bedroom looks like a room in a hotel. The kitchen is a jumbled mess. With over 19,000 square feet to work with does the cardio machine need to be right in the middle of that bathroom?
The first thing I said to myseft was 19,000 sq ft and the cardio machine is in the bathroom. LOL. They should have at least moved it out of the picture.
The outside looks ok but the inside is dated. I really do not like the staircase comming down into the greatroom.
Very neat…. not a bad price.
Things I like:
- The Grand Piano
- The kitchen (except the blue paint)
- The gameroom, I would love to have one some day.
- The pool area is not shabby either.
- It’s located at a lake (I think), like to have that to some day. Need a boat too.
Things I don’t like:
- The stairs / livingroom thing. Its nice, but not the way is arranged.
- The overwhelming TV-closet in the masterbedroom.
- Some other little things.
In general:
- Look at the ‘dog’ on photo 17, LOL…
Also (a bit off-topic) the home from friday from ‘mansion of the day’, photo 9 immediately reminded me off Kevin’s parents bedroom from Home Alone, don’t know why…
Living on a lake this far inland in Florida pretty much means you will get to enjoy alligators in your back yard.
Oke, as you may have found out i’m not a local. (Not even close, I’m literally 5000 miles away). I do know about the alligators in Florida though.
But, could be fun though, right?

From the comments below I see that no one took the time to read your excellent points and commentary.
You can have a gorgeous home but put it in the wrong location and it is suicide.
I have a buddy that has a gorgeous house that is just massive with top of the line materials and trappings inside and out.
Unfortunately he put it in the wrong area, near the highway and next to condos instead of in one of the more expensive established subdivisions that has homes equal to it, and he cannot sell it to save his life.
The noise from the highway when you are standing outside not to mention there is a rest area feet from the house just kills the deal.
I agree completely on what you said re: location. When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale I hated these communities built out in the Everglades. Why live in Florida and live miles from the ocean surrounded by swamps?
Thank you for reading it…
As I’m sure you know, it’s just that S. Florida (especially Palm Beach + Broward counties) are notorious for this bulls**t. I don’t know how it is elsewhere, but here being on the wrong side of the street can spell disaster, let alone being just 1 or 2 miles away from everyone else. Stone Creek Ranch should have stayed a farm, or at the very least it should have been a 55+ cookie-cutter community with 500 homes on .10 acre lots. I do not see how someone who is in the position to purchase something so expensive can justify building in this community. Le Lac, Long Lake Estates, Horseshoe Acres and Fieldbrook Estates are all within 7 minutes of S.C.R and offer 1+ acre lots and large homes (8,000 sq ft and above). These are established communities, and although not exactly “in town”, they are still desirable as evidenced by the tearing down of old homes and replacement with 10-20,000 square foot palaces.
Personally, I don’t need acreage…this is S. Florida, not Greenwich or the Hamptons. You live in the house, not on the acreage. Royal Palm Yacht + C.C. would be my dream location, other than on the ocean.
