Description

Huge wrought-iron double doors welcome you into this impressive Tuscan-inspired three-story estate, situated on an expansive 0.4-acre corner lot with 7,128 square feet of living space. Offering five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, this exceptional home is located on a private island within the prestigious Andalucia community, where residents enjoy 24-hour gated security, a deep-water marina, tennis courts, a clubhouse, and a waterfront park with breathtaking views of Tampa Bay. Designed with grandeur in mind, the home features soaring ceilings throughout, a formal living room with a stunning two-sided fireplace, an elegant formal dining room highlighted by hand-painted ceiling details, a temperature-controlled wine room, a private movie theater, two laundry rooms (one on each level), an elevator, and three beautifully crafted decorative staircases. The third floor includes a wet bar and an elevated observation deck that rises above most neighboring homes, offering expansive views of Tampa Bay. The luxurious primary suite boasts a private balcony overlooking the courtyard and pool, an oversized custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a sauna and Jacuzzi. Every secondary bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom and custom built-in closets. Additional architectural details include dramatic dome ceilings, faux-painted ceiling accents, and travertine flooring throughout the main living areas. Having been vacant for an extended period, the home will require exterior restoration as well as some interior repairs and updates. This presents an exceptional opportunity for an investor or discerning buyer to restore this custom estate to its original grandeur while adding their own personal style and modern finishes. With its impressive architecture, generous floor plan, premier location, and stunning Tampa Bay views, this property offers tremendous potential to become one of the area's showcase residences.
