Active With Contract IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK, they would tell about timeless design of this custom, 1-owner, 5,192 sf home nestled in the tree-lined streets of Original Carrollwood, a coveted LOCATION in the Tampa area. They would tell youabout the 360 degrees of PRIVACY achieved by a columned, brick wall with outdoor terraces at every turn. You'd hear about the gate leading to the front door opening to a two-story foyer big enough for a grand piano and wrapped in a sweeping staircase. You'd learn about a time when architects knew what a grand living room was with carved fireplace, marble floors,and cove ceiling, when afternoon tea had its own solarium room, when the dining room had a "butler's call button", and there were built-ins for china drawers. You'd be drawn to the huge kitchen with 2 refrigerators, double ovens, wine chiller, ice maker, miles of counters, a side entrance for the caterer, all open to the family room & breakfast nook that feels suspended over the pool. You'd find5 bedrooms, 2 of them master suites. You will be drawn outside to the terraces that flow freely around the home and pool past the outdoor cabana bar. It takes several times through to absorb all of the detailed moldings and only then,might you notice theart gallery walls with built in electrical outlets for framed lighting. Of course, you'd still not be aware of where the dumb waiter used to be & the "secret room". If these walls could talk.
