About this home

Discover a residence that feels worlds away—yet sits in the heart of Palm Harbor. Tucked within highly sought-after Autumn Woods, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath custom pool home rests on nearly half an acre and offers something increasingly difficult to find: true privacy, architectural character, mature natural beauty, and a home that is truly one of a kind. Originally custom architected and built as the personal residence of acclaimed Bay-area luxury builder Marc Rutenberg, the home was created with intention. Mature trees, lush tropical landscaping, privacy hedges and brick-paver walkways create an estate-like setting with remarkable seclusion. Even the landscape has a story—the magnificent oak anchoring the property was hand-selected after an extensive search throughout the Southeast, transported by flatbed and installed by crane approximately 30 years ago. Inside, craftsmanship takes center stage with solid white oak hardwood flooring, cedar beams, solid-core wood doors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, skylights and Marvin double-insulated windows and patio doors. Expansive living spaces flow naturally together and open to the pool and gardens, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. The chef's kitchen is equally impressive, featuring Calacatta marble countertops, custom wood cabinetry, Miele built-in ovens, a Wolf cooktop and multiple integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer units, including drawer refrigeration. A first-floor en-suite bedroom overlooking the pool offers flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or an office, while three additional bedrooms upstairs include the private primary suite. Outside, the property transforms into a secluded garden retreat. The pool and expansive paver patio are surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, privacy hedges and a fully fenced yard, complemented by mango, lemon, fig and acerola cherry trees, an herb garden and premium landscape lighting. Notable improvements include a 2021 r
