There’s also a dedicated music room, a formal dining room, 2 half baths for perfect entertaining, and of course the amazing Tuscan-inspired eat-in kitchen. Up the grand curved staircase you’ll find a flawless split plan with the sumptuous master suite on one end, an office/playroom in the middle (convertible to a 4th bedroom), and two bedrooms at the other end. The luxurious master suite features a spacious bedroom with a fireplace and a freshly remodeled master bath with which you will instantly fall in love, owing to its modern design, dual vanities, and dual walk-in closets. Because of this home’s genuinely magnificent design, there is also a rear stairway, in addition to the formal front staircase. The grounds of the home are verdant and elegant. From the beautiful piazza with its fountain, wrought iron gates, and brickwork, to the rear pool deck, with its travertine-clad spa cascading into the sparkling pool, everything here is superb. Covered outdoor living spaces, room to sunbathe, and copious private gathering areas, all surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, contribute to the stately, sophisticated feel of the property. Tierra Verde is a charming location offering two marinas, a boat club, swift access to Fort DeSoto, the international airport, idyllic white-sand beaches, and the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg, well-known for its shopping, museums, and fine dining options. This home is truly an exquisite sanctuary, utterly unlike what you may be accustomed to on the island, and it’s a definite must-see for the discerning buyer.
