The best of Tuscany under the Florida sun...and just 1/2 block from Bayshore Boulevard! This stately property was designed by renowned architect Gabe Fernandez and emanates the best of Italian-style design from the Venetian plaster, to travertine floors and imported tile roof. The home was built by Manny Alvarez and includes over 8,500 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half baths. The entry is highlighted by 20-foot ceilings and a winding staircase with custom ironwork. Each room in the home is replete with custom millwork accentuating the windows, walls and ceilings. Speaking of ceilings, just to the right of the entry is a multi-functional room that features âQuadraturaâ â an opening up of walls through illusion â a set of beautiful Baroque inspired cloud paintings that bring the cerulean blue sky indoors. The home is an entertainerâs dream with a chef inspired kitchen layout Rocco DiSpirito would envy; a media room with bar; temperature controlled 600 bottle wine storage room and 300 bottle wine tasting room; upstairs guest lounge including full kitchen; and a pool retreat (viewed by all the living spaces and upstairs balconies) that is reminiscent of the ancient Roman baths with all modern luxuries.
