One-of-a-kind "Old Florida" Hilltop Estate with a Million Dollar View - Never before offered to the public! To say this home is charming and filled with character is an understatement; you have to step foot inside to truly appreciate it. Arrive at a lush 2.26 acre acre picturesque hilltop property with stunning views in all directions. Bricks from the Bank of Tampa were used in the construction to add elegance and history to the property. As you pass through the front door your breath will be taken away by the views with expansive dual lake vistas through all the large casement windows, the sweeping open space filled with architectural detail, brick accents, and carefully chosen materials. The main house offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and the private entry in-law suite provides an additional bedroom, bathroom, and living room. Most of the home features original Heart Pine flooring, crown molding, and tongue and groove paneling. Choose from multiple living spaces, including the spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace or the expansive 58x12 Sun Parlor adorned with brick flooring and walls, wood beam accents, and a wall of windows bringing in abundant natural light. A formal dining room, a half bathroom for guests, and a private kitchen make this home ideal for hosting gatherings. The morning sun shines into the primary suite through bay windows, and it has a beautifully remodeled ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a quartz countertop, a walk-in closet with custom organizers, a skylight, and a walk-in shower. Bedroom 2 is generously sized and shares a Jack and Jill style full bathroom with the hallway. Bedroom 3 is also a great size and it sits next to the 4th bedroom that provides an ensuite bathroom and 2 closets. Head outside through the brick-accented courtyard into the private in-law suite to find the 5th bedroom, a 4th full bathroom, and a 14x13 living room. This estate truly is a Southern gem and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an old Florida estate home.
