Description
One-of-a-kind Old Florida Hilltop Estate with a sweeping million-dollar view, never before offered to the public. Set on a picturesque 2.26-acre hilltop with panoramic lake vistas in every direction, this Southern gem pairs timeless craftsmanship with an irreplaceable setting. Bricks sourced from the historic Bank of Tampa add a touch of legacy and elegance to the exterior, hinting at the character found throughout the home. Inside, the view takes center stage with dual lake panoramas framed by large casement windows and warmed by architectural details, brick accents, and thoughtfully selected materials. The main residence provides 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, while a private-entry in-law suite adds a fifth bedroom, a full bathroom, and its own living room, ideal for multi-generational living or long-term guests. Most of the home showcases original Heart Pine flooring, crown molding, and classic tongue-and-groove paneling. Multiple living spaces offer room to gather, including the inviting living room with a wood-burning fireplace and the expansive 58x12 Sun Parlor with brick flooring, wood beam accents, and a wall of windows that fills the space with natural light. A formal dining room, guest half bath, and private kitchen make this layout well-suited for hosting. The morning sun pours into the primary suite through bay windows, complementing its beautifully remodeled ensuite bath with dual sinks, quartz countertop, walk-in closet with custom organizers, skylight, and walk-in shower. Bedroom 2 is generously sized and connects to a Jack-and-Jill style full bathroom shared with the hallway. Bedroom 3 offers comfortable space and sits near the 4th bedroom, which features two closets and an ensuite bath. Step through the brick-accented courtyard to the private in-law quarters, complete with a spacious bedroom, full bath, and a 14x13 living room. Opportunities like this rarely come to market. This Old Florida hilltop estate combines a commanding setting, timeless materials, and multi-generational flexibility, a truly unique chance to own a historic home with breathtaking views and enduring charm.
