About 3153 Founders Club Dr
Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Luxury at 3153 Founders Club Drive— a refined and luxurious 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence located in the prestigious Estate section of The Founders Club. Originally a showcase model by London Bay Homes, this exceptional property has been masterfully reimagined by Angela Rodriguez Interiors into a serene, spa-inspired retreat. Set on over half an acre with coveted southern exposure, the home offers breathtaking views across a tranquil lake to the renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning or unwinding after a day on the course, this is the ultimate setting for elegant Florida living. Step through the grand iron and glass double doors into a home that immediately captivates with its attention to detail. A dramatic courtyard entry, enhanced by refreshed landscaping and ambient lighting, sets a gracious tone. Inside, intricate architectural elements include coffered ceilings, elegant crown moldings, 8-inch baseboards, and chiseled travertine flooring that extends seamlessly to the outdoor living areas through 10-foot disappearing corner sliders. The spacious family room flows effortlessly into a show-stopping modern chef’s kitchen, complete with Cambria quartz countertops, a Calacatta Gold backsplash, cabinet-front Monogram appliances, remote-controlled shades, and a built-in banquette with a custom-crafted wood table. A dedicated dining room and versatile bonus/billiard room—featuring a custom bench and shiplap accents—add character and function, while a private office supports today’s lifestyle needs. The primary suite is a serene retreat occupying its own private wing, with tranquil views of the lush gardens and pool area. This luxurious space includes a cozy sitting area, expansive walk-in closet, freestanding soaking tub, oversized rain shower, double quartz vanity with makeup station, and refined designer finishes. This extraordinary residence exudes refined sophistication, masterfully blending timeless design with curated luxury from Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings to Serena & Lily décor accents, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed to impress. Outdoors, enjoy a true resort-style sanctuary with two covered lanais, an open-air pool, a raised spa, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with grill, sink, and beverage cooler. Retractable awnings extend shade over the veranda for relaxed dining and entertaining. Throughout the home, fresh paint, statement walls, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and mercury glass details add texture and polish.
