Built in 2014, this two-story Mediterranean estate in Palm Harbor features smart
home automation that provides state-of-the-art security and remote home control.
Whether you play golf, or enjoy
swimming in the Gulf, this
4,634-square-foot estate will
appeal. With five bedrooms,
four full bathrooms and a half bath, this
two-story Mediterranean-style home is
situated amid the Highlands of Innisbrook,
a gated community just minutes from the
Gulf of Mexico.
The circular, paver driveway leads from
the road to the home’s side-facing, four-car
garage and continues to the front portico
and main entrance. Manicured landscaping
and the home’s terra cotta colors create a
dramatic curb appeal.
Tall, glass-paneled double front doors are
accented with a large arched glass transom.
Inside, the flooring is made of gleaming
white marble, and overhead is a high tray
ceiling with an elegant spherical chandelier
set in the center.
Just beyond the foyer is the chic formal
living room that features a high tray ceiling
with a classic crystal and brass chandelier.
Elegant crown molding and the 7-inch
baseboard create a cohesive look for this
room. Glass-paneled French doors open to
the back patio and swimming pool.
A spacious chef’s kitchen features

appliances include a five-burner natural
gas range, double ovens and a warming
drawer. Recessed lighting is augmented
with hanging pendants. There is also an
informal dining area and breakfast bar with
wood cabinets and a walk-in storage pantry.
The kitchen flows into the spacious family
room that is an ideal place for relaxing and
casual entertaining. Numerous windows
and multiple sets of French doors open
out to the outdoor kitchen and provide
views of the lounge area and the swimming
pool. Adjacent to the kitchen is the home’s
two-tier, state-of-the-art movie theater that
has a large 3D-4K projector and seats nine
comfortably.
