This spectacular two-story lakefront Mediterranean estate in
Lush tropical landscaping surrounds this two-story
waterfront estate located on Lake Tarpon in Palm Harbor.
With more than 7,400 square feet of climate-controlled
living space that has four bedrooms, five bathrooms
and a four-car, climate-controlled attached garage, this home
has plenty of room for gracious living.
Grand Tuscan columns in the main foyer support the
dramatic, multi-tiered tray ceiling to create a museum-like
feeling that is enhanced by polished travertine flooring. The
foyer leads into the formal living room with its two-story
vaulted ceiling, where a large gas fireplace set into an elegant
carved marble mantel is framed by wooden built-in arched
wall units. Numerous hurricane resistant windows provide
natural light for this area that incorporates an elegant formal
dining area with a trio of windows for views of Lake Tarpon.
A highlight of this home is the dedicated wine room that has
a scrolling interior wrought iron gate hinged to an arched
doorway at its entrance.
