The Mangrove House
Seminole, Florida

    

This private retreat offers its residents a serene combination of new construction, with custom details throughout, and a truly natural environment that evokes images of protected habitat.  Located on one of the last large waterfront green spaces left in Pinellas County,  this unique home is surrounded on three sides by approximately 80 acres of uplands and submerged mangrove forest… a natural refuge for a tremendous amount of wildlife such as Roseate Spoonbills, Egrets, Eagles, Ospreys, Pelicans, Herons and even the rare Diamond Back Salt Water Terrapins.

Crossing the Park Boulevard Bridge from the Tampa Bay barrier islands into Seminole, people often notice this regal home referred to simply as the ‘Mangrove House’.  A design committed to authenticating Key West Style works in harmony with its natural surroundings, offering a sense of privacy and beauty.  From the Widow’s Peak lookout, one can see all the way across the mangroves to the Gulf of Mexico .  The soft uplighting in the outdoor trees and meandering paths are designed specifically to not encroach upon the surrounding natural environment.


But nature and privacy isn’t all this very special home presents.  Its designer elements and its self-sufficient amenities create a most enviable lifestyle.  Start with the Brazilian Cherry floors, then note all the doors are solid stained pine with fluted casing trim and glass doorknobs. High ceilings above are pickled tong-and-groove wood. Architecturally inspired windows throughout show the importance of this natural beauty and stained glass accents to above doorways and other windows add one more example of the attention to detail. Double sided fireplace is encased in Chicago Paver Bricks. Easy access wet bar with glass front cabinets shows off its rose copper sink and effortlessly serves both kitchen and living areas.  State-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is the most discriminating chef’s dream. From its industrial stove with dual fuel access, providing the best that both gas and electric can offer, to the built-in grill and authentic pot-filler, add a separate icemaker and gourmet elite double sink.  Stainless steel appliances and Black Galaxy granite countertops are accented by exquisite Marko Italian Glass pendant lighting.  Separate computer/desk area with walk-in pantry leads to additional living area, kitchen, and bedroom that makes a perfect in-law suite.


And about the master suite?  The entire second floor is devoted to creating a special refuge for its owners.  Customized master bath is infused with a wide variety of hand-crafted Dunis glass cut into the tile walls creating a spectacular light show of color when the sun hits them!  20 foot ceilings showcase designer trimmed windows that emphasize the serenity of its setting.  Even a wet bar adds convenience with the ever-persistent thought of “who would want to leave?”   If you must, in addition to the hand crafted staircase, there is a wood finished elevator to escort you to the floor of your choice.  Which leads to the ground floor living area designed with all the attention to a flood plain, but is entirely insurable.  This game room/ entertainment sanctuary with its full built-in bar is designed with marble floors, marine stained plywood and tiffany glass.  Outdoor areas blend seamlessly with the natural beauty surrounding them.


When it is stated that this home ‘has it all’, it is serious.  3-car garage; full keypad alarm system; 3 separate air condition units; pre-wired for generator; an 8,000 gallon sup tank giving extra septic capability; instant hot water with zoned temperature settings; and outdoor drainage system leaving little chance for standing water build-up.

 ALL THIS FOR $989,000!
