Description
        Where Nature Meets Elegance, welcome to 6660 Saint James Crossing. 
Tucked behind the gates of University Park Country Club, where winding roads lead to quiet enclaves. 
At 6660 Saint James Crossing, luxury isn't just a feature -- it's a feeling. 
Set against the tranquil backdrop of a protected nature preserve, this residence invites you to wake each morning to birdsong and golden light filtering through the trees. The freshly painted exterior (2025) and professionally designed hardscape (2023) hint at the care and attention woven into every detail. Step inside and you'll find a space transformed -- a 2023 remodel that reimagined the interior with luxury vinyl laminate flooring, plush new carpeting, soft-close cabinetry in the kitchen and master bath, and a custom pantry and laundry suite designed for both beauty and function. 
The heart of the home -- its kitchen -- now gleams with custom dark granite countertops and a new backsplash, offering a striking contrast to the soft cabinetry and natural light. The living room fireplace has been retiled and framed with elegant shelving, perfect for displaying your favorite memories. Recessed lighting and new ceiling fans create a soft, ambient glow throughout, and a state-of-the-art smoke, CO2, and water detection system offers peace of mind. 
The master suite is a retreat in every sense, featuring a newly installed soaking tub and tranquil views of the preserve. Both guest bathrooms have been updated with sleek new cabinetry, and the freshly repainted interior walls tie the space together with a clean, modern finish. Beyond the main living areas, a dedicated den offers a quiet space for work or reading, while a versatile bonus room provides endless possibilities -- whether you envision a second office, a private gym, or a creative studio. 
Step outside to your own private oasis: a screened, heated pool surrounded by custom stone flooring on the lanai, perfect for sun-drenched afternoons or evening gatherings under the stars. Whether you're hosting sunset cocktails or enjoying a quiet morning coffee as deer wander through the preserve, this outdoor space is designed for both serenity and celebration. 
 
This home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded: new ductwork in 2023, a new AC system in 2022, and a roof that was pressure-washed and sealed in 2024 to protect against Florida's subtropical climate. Hurricane-impact sliding doors and whole-house surge protection were added in 2015, while a Halo water filtration system, gas water heater, and resurfaced pool deck were installed in 2014. Even the pool heater -- a Hayward electric system -- has been keeping things cozy since 2011. 
But life here isn't just about the home -- it's about the lifestyle. Residents of University Park Country Club enjoy access to a semi-private 27-hole championship golf course designed by Ron Garl, illuminated Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and multiple dining venues offering everything from casual bites to elegant cuisine. 
 
6660 Saint James Crossing is more than a home -- it's a place to live beautifully, surrounded by nature, comfort, and community.
