WARM AND INVITING LAKE ESTATE 

Looking for a warm and inviting lake estate, where you feel like you're miles away BUT is only 20 minutes to downtown Tampa? Your heart will soar once you've discovered this beautiful home located on Lake Brant, a 70-acre ski lake just north of Avila. Offering 325 feet of waterfront, the home creates a wonderful marriage of interior and exterior living spaces. Adjacent to the main home is a cozy carriage house with two bedrooms, kitchen, bath and living room/dining room that is perfect for mother-in-laws suite, extended stay guests or live-in household help. The home's design, with high pitched metal roof, stacked stone and stained columns blend masterfully to create the perfect ambiance for the home's lakeside setting. Loads of covered, finished porches greet you and are prevalent throughout the home's design extending living areas to the outdoors. The warmth of the home's interior finishes including heavy moldings, antique wood ceilings, solid walnut wood floors, paneled wood and stack stone walls, and custom cabinetry and granite, create a rich but understated, comfortable feel. To take advantage of the water, a rustic boat house with covered boat lift and concrete floating dock is a focal point for family gatherings and entertaining. After a day on the lake, soak in the Jacuzzi or relax on the 1000 square foot screened lanai with fireplace, grilling area; dining/living/entertaining areas. Four garages, circular driveway and finished basketball court complete this beautiful offering.
