Description
The Crown Jewel of South Tampa and a home with distinction and pedigree is awaiting your arrival. This spectacular home is an immersive experience that begins with a dramatic first impression of lifestyle living. While the overall mood is one of subdued sophistication, the setting itself provides for splendor aplenty. The home is a delicate balancing act while weighing the push of classical against the pull of contemporary inspiration. The current family has enhanced this home replete with a myriad of tasteful and important upgrades. Throughout the home, decorative flourishes both playful and glamorous, leaven the seriousness to the architecture, conjuring an environment anchored in the present. The entry hall, along with its baronial staircase, establishes a sense of arrival and decompression before one moves into the main living areas where the casual elegance of this home evolves. The formal living room is tempered with formality and playfulness. The dining room is positioned just off the grand foyer. The continental sensibility expands into the main social spaces on the ground floor which includes the gathering room, the fabulous gourmet kitchen, a mud/laundry room and an informal dining area office space and a guest bedroom with ensuite are reminiscent of an era gone by. The screened and caged pool has an oversized entertainment area to enjoy dinners al fresco. On the upper floor, variations in color and style, conspire to the individual family members distinctive identities. The 3 gracious bedrooms, a bridge that overlooks the gathering room, a gym and an expansive play area with a separate space to enjoy casual family evenings are perfect to enjoy the quiet peaceful ambiance of the home. The textural variety of the fabrics and other materials in the home add to the richness and warmth to the classic architecture. The primary bedroom has quiet tones that extend into the peaceful ensuite bath and walk in closet.
Ultimately, the interiors defer to dazzling scenery that surrounds the home, which no amount of decorative bravado can hope to surpass. Although the architectural pedigree of this estate home dates back an era gone by, the invitational tone of the home and pool are far beyond the scale typical of this period. With three garages, there are two separate garage areas that allow you to enter the home from two sides. The amazing location allows for easy access and close proximity to some of the finest restaurants, shopping, airports and entertainment in all of the Tampa Bay Area. This home is truly South Tampa luxury living at its absolute finest.
