Oh, but wait a minute… and you better sit down… just LOOK at this absolutely GLORIOUS CLASSIC 1920’S HOME SHOWCASING MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE. This Temple Terrace Treasure, it has been said, was designed by the same architect that designed The Ca’ d‘zan Mansion in Sarasota, Dwight James Baum, the home of John and Mable Ringling. The marvelous terracotta barrel tile roof tops this creation off perfectly. Step onto your large balustraded patio and into your home. From the entry foyer, you step down into your sunken living room with majestic grand staircase, original hardwood floors and fireplace with marble surround and vintage wrought iron accents. Just off the living room is a cozy den with French doors that overlooks your beamed pergola. Beyond the den is a bedroom with a private full bath and separate access to the backyard - perhaps perfect for a mother-in-law suite? Let's head upstairs to discover three well sized bedrooms. The first one we encounter is a looker with spectacular tongue in groove pine paneling and a built-in bookcase. Then we come across a delightfully large and completely remodeled bathroom with a vintage feel that offers up dual vanity sinks in an antique cabinet. Moving further along we find another light filled bedroom overlooking the noble oak tree in your front yard. To finish off the upstairs design we find your pleasing master bedroom with an entrance onto your very own private and covered screened porch - the perfect place to have a leisurely read of the sunday New York Times over your morning cup of Joe. Back downstairs and just off the living room is your formal dining room showcasing loads of natural light and the original wrought iron chandelier! The kitchen just beyond is very spacious and functional and leads you directly out to your AMAZING BACKYARD PARADISE resplendent with perhaps the biggest pool you have ever seen! This property measures 75 x 225 feet, over a THIRD OF AN ACRE! A pavered patio, charming gazebo and lushly planted garden set the tone to completely unplug from your work day. Temple Terrace was plotted out as a master planned golf course community, and still boasts the historic Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club established in 1922 and is one of the oldest courses in the Tampa Bay area. In fact, it is the only 18 hole golf course in Florida that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The winding streets, grandfather oaks and its proximity to downtown Tampa and the Riverwalk, just a quick 20 minute drive, you’ll agree the location is ideal! Room sizes approx. Call now!
