Welcome to 186 Portofino Drive, a grand Donato model estate located in the exclusive Grand Estates enclave of the Venetian Golf & River Club. This striking home offers over 4,000 sq ft of refined living space, including four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a private upstairs guest suite, and an oversized three-car garage, all set on a preserve-view lot that ensures both privacy and serenity. Double leaded-glass entry doors open into a spacious foyer with soaring ceilings, porcelain tile flooring, and elegant architectural detail. The expansive great room features a gas ventless fireplace with custom built-ins and a pocketing slider that opens to the lanai and frames the stunning view beyond. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with professional stainless-steel appliances including a six-burner gas cooktop, convection oven, built-in microwave, and French-door refrigerator. Rich cherry wood cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, a pantry and a generous breakfast bar provide both function and style. The adjoining casual dining area offers a sunny spot for morning coffee with tranquil preserve views. A well-appointed coffee nook and pantry provides additional prep space and connects to the formal dining room. The first-floor primary suite is a luxurious private retreat, with coffered ceilings, dual custom walk-in closets, and French doors opening to the lanai. The en-suite bathroom features dual vanities with granite countertops, a jetted soaking tub, a large walk-in shower with frameless glass, a ceiling fan, and a private water closet. Two additional first-floor bedrooms are thoughtfully designed-one conveniently located by the pool bath, and the other connected to a Jack and Jill bathroom. All feature upgraded finishes, ceiling fans, carpet or porcelain tile flooring. The main level also includes a dedicated study with custom arched door, large windows, and tile flooring-perfect for a home office or quiet workspace.
