First off, the pool, heated spa, huge patio, two Lanais, grill area, tv area and putting green are EXTREMELY private. Shielded from neighbors by a high hedge, large gazebo, our 8,000 Sq. Ft. home and a detached three car garage. If you like privacy, this home has more privacy, to our knowledge, than any home in the neighborhood.
Resort-Style, SHALLOW Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub with many water features surrounded by a very large travertine patio with Chaise Lounge Chairs so you can relax in the sun, read a book or even return emails (home has many wireless access points for connectivity). Entire yard is fully fenced in so your pets will have plenty of room to roam without leaving the grounds. Please note, a small dog CAN fit through the fence.
Incredibly Spacious Lanai that is very well shaded with custom, very comfortable seating and a Large TV.
Across the pool you will find a Gazebo with a built-in Natural Gas Grill, glass door beverage refrigerator, sink and plenty of seating, Foosball table and a half bath with floor to ceiling travertine wall tile.
There are two outside large Dining tables, one on the East Side Veranda for Breakfast and one on the West Side Veranda for Lunch / Dinner, or vice versa depending upon the season.
Our Home was originally built in 1925 and has been meticulously restored. Half of the home (approximately 4,000 Sq. Ft.) was added in the last 15 years. So far, no one has been able to tell where the original home was and the huge addition started. Home still qualifies for the Local Historic Registry. Home sits on over 3 lots.
Kitchen has a 48" natural gas Thermador stove, 2 full size Sub-Zero refrigerators (4 freezer drawers), 2 extra quiet dishwashers, microwave and all of the usual small appliances (Keurig, toaster, regular coffee maker and coffee bean grinder). Kitchen has an 8-person table, Large TV and a seating area around the Natural Gas Fireplace. Kitchen has French Doors opening onto the Lanai and Pool area. There is a Library with 2 sofas and a Large TV off of the kitchen as well.
Home has a "Stunning Great Room" with a stately fireplace, TV, large sofa, multiple comfortable chairs and a dining table large enough for 12. Ceiling height in room is over 14 feet.
There is also an upstairs Game Room with a Pool table, Large TV, fireplace, and 2 large sofas.
The home Boasts 2 Primary Suites, with one on the first level, and the other on the second level. Bath in first level Primary Suite has 6 shower heads and a steamer as well. The first level Primary also has a natural gas Fireplace and a Large TV.
All 5 bedrooms have their own full baths, and 4 of the 5 are equipped with King Sized Beds and the 5th has a Double bed.
PLEASE NOTE, the Spa has a gas fired heater and will heat the spa quickly "almost" any day of the year. The pool is heated with an electric heat pump and can heat the pool over the course of a few days. There could be a period during the winter here in sunny St. Petersburg in which the ambient temperature is simply too cold to heat the pool. Please let us know well in advance if you would like the pool heated during your stay and we will do our best if temperatures are conducive to heating. Obviously we have no control over the weather.
