Welcome summer into your life, whatever the season, at Casa de Verano. Meaning "House of Summer" in Spanish, this elegant estate home will sumptuously surround you with a magical interpretation of the indoor-outdoor living experience so intrinsic to Golden Oak.

Classic summertime fun was a prime inspiration in designing and outfitting the home, according to builder Rick Watson of J. Richard Watson Construction Company, Inc. "When most people think of summer it brings back fond memories, of times they spent with family and friends at picnics, cook-outs, and pool parties. Our goal was to create an environment where enjoying those times is possible year-round... and for generations to come."

Without a doubt, Casa de Verano graciously meets the challenge. For starters, consider what the stunning outdoor living area and pool deck have to offer:

• More than 1,600 square feet of space.
• Summer kitchen with grill and under-counter fridge.
• Large bar and expansive sitting area, with outdoor TV and fireplace.
• Motorized roll-down screens for the entire area.
• Beautiful pool and spa.

A striking architectural choice unites the outdoor living area with the adjacent family room, informal dining and gourmet kitchen: six tall, glass-paneled doors, which open wide for the easy comings and goings of family, friends and soft Florida breezes.

The inspiration of an "endless verano" is further evident in such features as:

• Central courtyard with fountain and covered veranda. "It provides the surrounding living spaces with a lovely view as well as natural light," Rick tells us.
• Charming private gardens, outside the formal dining room and the spa tub in the owner's bathroom.
• Private access to outdoor living area from owner's suite, with poolside sitting area.
• Lush landscaping.

Casa de Verano is located in the Silverbrook (Lot 7) neighborhood and currently priced at $3,295,000.00. Highlights of the indoor living area include:

• 5,485 square feet.
• 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 half-baths.
