HIGHEST AND BEST DUE BY WEDNESDAY 4/28 AT 4PM! Do you dream of a home that is nestled in the midst of a botanic garden? That has old Florida style charm and meticulously manicured lawn and landscaping. This home is a secluded paradise, perfect for nature and animal lovers alike with 2.5 acres of lush landscaping in a tropical setting. From the moment you turn down your private drive way you feel as if you have escaped the hustle of the world and taken a trip to a vacation home. The 2.5 acres are lush with massive old oak trees, kapok, royal palms, ladyfingers, orchids, and tons of air plants. An amazing oasis with canopied oak and foliage surround you in a garden paved with petrified mud and historical brick pavers. Extraordinary custom woodwork throughout from the cypress porch columns with Turkish travertine pavers to the bamboo, purpleheart, cocobolo woods on the inside finishes. It is largely open with views of the gardens from every room. The kitchen is custom and beautifully finished with stainless steel appliances and an on-demand water heater and features under cabinet lighting. The kitchen has 3 large pantries for all your cooking needs. The bathroom mimics a beautiful ship with double glass vessel sinks and a beautiful glass shower and custom wood cabinets that leads out onto a spacious, enclosed deck with an outdoor shower and space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There is a large detached 2-story outbuilding with a large second story, partially finished area that could be finished as guest quarters, a mother-in law suite, or bonus area. The first floor is a spacious garage and workshop. Perfect proximity to St. Pete, Ellenton, Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota dining and beaches.
