Description

One of Beach Park’s most breathtaking homes, this Spanish Revival villa sings every note of its exotic architectural style. With custom block-construction, this 5,512 sf home on a .37 acre corner lot is striking behind a gate of delicately scrolled ironwork where, inside the courtyard, a classically-designed fountain is simplicity of sound set before a dazzling dual-storied arcade. An exterior of towers, stairways, and canvas-colored stucco complete the home’s seductive curb appeal, all topped by a roofline of red terracotta tiles. Inside, discover travertine flooring, sky-high sun-filled windows, artful wood-clad ceilings, welcoming living spaces, a warmly-hued gourmet kitchen, four breezy bedrooms and four and a half impressive bathrooms. On the canal-lined patio, set out for a swim, dine al fresco, or float your sea-worthy vessel into the Bay. Upon arrival, layers of leafy palms and your own secret tropical garden adorn the courtyard. Greet guests from the distinctively old-world front entry or invite them inside from above, on the second floor arcade. Just across the threshold, the great room’s soaring arched windows spellbind with views of sky meeting palms and terraced living spaces. Stroll directly out to take-in views, and imagine lazy lunch dates accompanied by salty breezes. Spend afternoons floating in the geometric pool or plan adventures from the private dock with covered boat slip. In the kitchen, guests will sip wines from the butler’s pantry and entertain the chef as gorgeous terracotta tones, a Venetian Plaster range hood, professional grade appliances, and an eye-catching iron gate creates atmosphere for sparking conversation. At day's end, retire to airy bedrooms and tranquil bathrooms, while in the downstairs primary suite, a palatial bathroom soothes the senses. Set down your cares in the bespoke custom closets, then enjoy your retreat of Tuscan columns, a windowed walk-through shower, and a place for bubbles under a canopy of wood-planked vaulted ceiling. While on tour, visit living spaces for work and play, and prepare to forget the world as this resort-worthy sun-kissed Spanish treasure awaits. From home, live and play in posh Beach Park, or head to beaches, downtown Tampa or to the airport for journeys beyond.
