About This Property

This exquisite family home is conveniently located between Tampa, downtown St. Petersburg and the beaches. The neighborhood is an easy commute to and from Tampa for business travel and close to the Tampa International Airport. It is a perfect home for buyers looking to have room to grow, as well as those who want a place to entertain family and friends in style. This 4,744-square-foot home will impress upon arrival. It is situated on a large corner lot with an inviting front porch and a bright, cheerful front door. Upon entering the foyer, you will be surrounded by a beautiful sweeping staircase, soaring cathedral ceilings and gorgeous hardwood floors. There is a great room that is bright and airy with a screened-in patio that looks out to the backyard. The eat-in kitchen is open to a combined family room and dining area and is equipped with a large breakfast bar, granite countertops and stainless steel Frigidaire appliances. The kitchen floors are done in beautiful travertine. This home boasts two wood-burning fireplaces. The newly renovated fireplace in the family room is beautifully designed with floor-to-ceiling tile. There is a cozy built-in seating shelf in a sunny window, perfect for adding a splash of color with cushions and pillows. Up a short flight of stairs from this family room area is a private loft space that would be an ideal game room for children, a man cave, arts and crafts room, flex work/study, TV room or anything else that you would want to imagine. There is also an ample office for working from home on the main floor, as well as a guest room that the current owners use as a home gym. Step outside through the large French doors from the kitchen or living room and onto the patio, with a screened-in pool, lanai and custom outdoor kitchen. This outdoor space is ideal for barbecues, get-togethers, pool parties and relaxing. The custom outdoor kitchen, built in 2015, is equipped with a grill, hood, bar refrigerator and countertop seating. The highlight of this project was the custom-designed stone countertops hand-made with pressed-in shells that the sellers chose themselves. There is a spacious, covered lanai perfect for sitting and relaxing. The saltwater pool had a full revamp in 2015, including resurfacing, new pool equipment and new porch enclosures with redesigned, reinforced beam supports. Back inside, walk up the gorgeous staircase to the second level with two-story cathedral ceilings that look out over the foyer below. The serene master suite includes a sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace and large bath with a walk-in tiled shower, double sinks, granite countertops, soaking tub and a large walk-in closet. Two guest rooms with custom, matching built-in shelving walls and a dual bath, along with another en suite bedroom, complete the second story. Rounding out this executive home is a guest cottage suite accessible by a covered breezeway from the main house. Perfect for guests, this is equipped with a full bath, kitchenette and combined sleeping and living areas. The owners also installed a brand-new metal roof just prior to listing that more than complements the exterior style of the home. Other notable features include a corner double lot situated on a lake, lush custom landscaping, large circular driveway, quiet neighborhood and a public park, perfect for walking, riding bikes, picnicking or walking the family dog. This home has it all.
