The home’s master retreat is located on the
second floor. A designer chandelier hangs from
the center of the master bedroom’s vaulted
ceiling, creating a warm and elegant effect.
Stereo speakers are recessed into the ceiling
along with additional lighting, while the walls
in this room are accented with sophisticated
crown molding. Picture windows are used
throughout the home. In the master bedroom,
they offer a pristine view of the backyard and of
the glistening waters of Tampa Bay. The master
retreat also has a private covered balcony that
faces the bay. The master bathroom is fully
equipped with a spa/hydro massage tub, a
separate shower stall and matching dual sinks,
while the walk-in closet features a plethora of
beautifully detailed hardwood shelving and
built-in dressers large enough for multiple
wardrobes.
Additional amenities found in the home
include a covered outdoor living room, an
outdoor kitchen with a wood burning fireplace,
hurricane impact windows and doors, and a
“smart” wired home automation system that
integrates home security, climate control and
lighting. The boat dock has electricity, fresh
water and a boat lift. This grand property
exemplifies the Florida lifestyle that so many
seek. 9
