Bella Vista is a 5,458-square-foot Mediterranean waterfront estate
located on Snell Isle on the protected deep waters of Tampa Bay
that give it direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. This two-story
residence has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and a half bath.
The exterior of the home has traditional Spanish architecture in
terra cotta colors and a classic burnt orange clay tile roof. The circular
driveway is accented by a stone fountain as it leads to the home’s
two-car garage. Entry to the home is through the two-story octagonal
portico and an artistically carved custom front door.
