This one of a kind home sits on a nearly an acre that abounds with unique features inside and out. The feeling of being part of nature is an integral part of the design of this house with the living room, owner’s suite, family room and breakfast room all opening onto the large screened and tiled porch which looks out onto the beautiful forested backyard. This unique Florida Native landscape was featured a Tampa Bay Times article on 2-19-16. The home has been meticulously maintained by the original owner/builder/designer. The inside of the home has been updated with Cambria quartz countertops, large-format porcelain tile, custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances and fixtures, completely new bathrooms, LED lighting, a California-style walk-in closet and so much more. The massive kitchen has an 8 foot center island, induction cooktop, convection wall oven, 31 cf French door refrigerator, a separate pantry and storage galore which will delight the chef in the family. A paver path takes you from the house to a gazebo that has a Jacuzzi spa and an entertainment system. This is a great place to relax at the end of a hard day. Sit back, close your eyes and listen to the sound of the peaceful stream that runs between the gazebo and deck. The enormous deck under the oaks and pines is great for entertaining family and friends. It has a fire pit, a pergola with a cedar swing and plenty of room for grilling, dining and games. Relax and watch the kids and pets playing in the large fenced back yard. A detached masonry building at the rear of the lot currently serves as a workshop but could also be used as an art studio, play house, or storage area. No HOA restrictions! The masonry and glass greenhouse on the south side of the workshop is equipped with shelving, lights and a thermostatically controlled exhaust fan. The home has been fortified for Florida’s occasional storms with easy to install predrilled aluminum hurricane shutters for all windows, the front doors and the entire screen porch. The garage doors are hurricane rated. The skylight has impact glass. The home had a Windstorm Mitigation inspection inspection and receives a 33% discount our homeowner’s policy! A transfer switch has been installed that allows for the connection of a portable generator to the transfer switch which then feeds power directly into the electric panel.
