On the 800 ft drive up to the home, you will pass a rose garden and many large, artfully set limestone rocks all from floor of Florida's prehistoric inland sea. The property has 100 foot frontage on 48-acre Rainbow Lake, which is big enough for skiing and wakeboarding. The lake views west and north are the two longest axes of the lake. The westward vista from the property is undeveloped lakeshore forest of Camp Brorein, used by the Boy Scouts and other groups. No neighboring houses are visible from the house or from the lakeside. And except for the southerly neighbor's 13+ acres, all land southeast and south of this property is forest and is owned by city of Saint Petersburg as watershed.

Both the living room and recreation room have wood burning fireplaces. The sale includes a custom-made pool table and a dining room table and chairs that perfectly fit the space. The two rooms off the living room have flexible uses; one has a closet so is considered a bedroom, the other has no closet but has a door to the outside.
