Exquisite Snell Isle Home on DOUBLE Waterfront Lot!

Nestled in the exclusive Snell Isle neighborhood along coveted Brightwaters Blvd, this home is on a rare 0.41 acre DOUBLE LOT with 142 feet of waterfront! The unique property is ideal in its current state, however, it also presents an excellent opportunity for builders, as both lots are suitable for construction, allowing for the creation of two new waterfront homes or one exceptionally spacious waterfront home. Overlooking protected Coffeepot Bayou, this is one of the only waterfront homes in Snell Isle to face WEST, offering spectacular golden sunset views and an ever-changing vista of avian and marine life. The serene bayou has sailboat deep water, provides calm protection during storms and quick direct access to open Tampa Bay waters.

The home is a historical masterpiece and timeless gem, marrying the charm of Mediterranean architecture with the luxury of modern living. Aptly named *Villa Florentina*, this magnificent property built by renowned architect S.V. Schooley for C. Perry Snell, features intricate details inspired by Venetian palazzos and Spanish haciendas. Meticulously renovated in the early 2000s to preserve it's historical significance, this four-bedroom, five bath residence spans 5,378 square feet of living space and features original hardwood floors, three fireplaces, tall arched walkways and windows, exquisite hand-painted Italian-inspired interiors, attached 1-car garage and separate 2-car garage and workspace, heated pool with a waterslide, dock with a boat lift, and a vast resort-style backyard with tropical landscaping and numerous decks for entertaining.

Situated in one of the most desirable neighborhoods Tampa Bay has to offer, just moments away from downtown by car or boat!
