Property Description

Welcome to 'Villa La Serenissima' a magnificent European-inspired estate on the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway in Treasure Island.  This custom built one-of-a-kind property is comprised of a palatial main house with five bedrooms & five and one half baths (including self-sustaining maid and/or in-law quarters) and a beautiful three bedroom & two bath guest home.  This lushly landscaped and gated property is nestled on 0.5+ acres of land with 320 +/- linear feet of sailboat depth water frontage including multiple docks and protected harborage for a 75’ yacht. 

Immediately upon entering the main home’s two story grande foyer, one is transported back to the Belle Epoque by the soaring ceilings, rich architectural details, tumbled Italian marble tile floors, sweeping double staircases designed by Henry Ferris, and an ornate wrought iron elevator, banisters & catwalks.  The richness is carried on throughout the rest of the home, which offers both formal & family living areas featuring coffered, vaulted, barrel vaulted, and trussed ceilings, many adorned with hand painted murals & ornamentals by renowned Martha’s Vineyard & St. Petersburg artist Tom Street. 

The heart of this home is the French provincial, commercial grade kitchen suitable for any chef, catering company or consummate entertainer.  Just a few of the outstanding features include custom painted, hand crafted wood & beveled glass cabinetry, hand painted tile, thick granite countertops, waterside breakfast nook, Dynasty five burner range (with grill) & custom copper ‘Vent-A-Hood’, a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator/freezer and four additional Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers. One will further appreciate the butler’s prep station, walk-in pantry, ice maker, and the multiple dishwashers, ovens and sinks. 

The lavish, private & secure 1600+ square foot master suite will astound the most discriminating buyer. This unique quadrant of the home features a private, two story foyer which is reached by entering through an enormous set of antique wrought iron and glass doors that once hung in a French chateau. The suite includes a private office, full wet bar, fireplace, third story loft, two balconies, plush bedroom, an ornate bath adorned with copper & porcelain tiles, and Brazilian cherry, parquetry and inlaid wood floors.

Additional features of the home include multiple fireplaces, wet bars, ice makers, and wine coolers throughout, low voltage lighting, impact doors & windows, an enormous home theatre, 600+ bottle climate controlled wine room, custom designed ‘Lacey-Champion’ carpets, and oak and  D.C. Kerckhoff  decorative cast stone  architectural details thoughout. 

No expense was spared on the property’s exterior with over $1 million of D.C. Kerckhoff cast stone encasing the homes, Monier concrete tile roofs, custom box gutters, solid wood garage doors (four cars), a beautiful entry courtyard to the main house complete with ornate wrought iron gates, and so much more. 

The spectacular waterside back yard & pool deck features an outdoor kitchen with copper covers, multiple sundecks, pergolas, and an Italian glass mosaic tiled pool with swim up bar and spa. 

All of this with sweeping easterly views of the Intracoastal and all just a mere 5-10 minutes by boat out to the Gulf of Mexico!

The property can be subdivided.  Guest house can be sold separately for $850,000.  Property is being sold AS-IS for convenience of seller.
