South Tampa Realtor, Rae Catanese, and luxury new?home builder?Bayfair Homes, jointly come together to present: A gorgeous, elegant, corner lot situated in Beach Park, one of South Tampa's most desirable neighborhoods!
When a family friend of 30 years decided she wanted to sell her South Tampa Beach Park 1950's home, we came to the conclusion that marketing the property as a new construction home would draw the largest audience for this location where million dollar homes surround the property. But, there was one catch. The owner has a magnificent Grand Live Oak tree in the front yard which could be a challenge when designing a large luxury home.
At first, Rae began contacting her list of South Tampa custom home builders to see if they were interested in looking at the site. Many wanted to know about the tree and if it could be taken down, but when she spoke with David Seidenberg of Bayfair Properties LLC, a South Tampa custom home builder since 1989, he wanted to explore the options of what this magnificent tree could offer a homeowner. David's first words were, "What a spectacular tree! This could be the largest tree in all of Beach Park!"? He saw the opportunity to save this historical tree, and we all agreed it would provide an added benefit to a new homeowner. The tree provides an umbrella shade where a family can gather to enjoy sipping ice tea on a hot summer's day, host elegant parties under the moonlight or build a play area for kids in pure nature. To top it off, the landscaping opportunities are infinite!
Not knowing what could be done with the tree, Seidenberg suggested they meet with the City of Tampa Arborist, David Reilly. Reilly determined the oak was a protected tree and that even if the seller received authorization from the City of Tampa to take down the tree, there would be a two-year moratorium put on the construction of a new house. The solution was to trim several of the limbs to preserve the integrity of the tree, while still making it possible to build a large home.
For any property to be considered truly luxurious, man-made architecture and Mother Nature created elements must come together in unison and harmony to create a perfect balance. Well, this one has both. This exceptional residence is surrounded by a protected, magnificent Grand Live Oak Tree creating an outstanding setting from every angle, while providing the ultimate in privacy and luxury.
From the moment you enter the residence through the impressive front door, you are surrounded by the highest quality craftsmanship, materials and amenities, all working together to create an atmosphere of pure elegance and balance.
Downstairs will feature a great open room floor plan; 10' ceilings with 5 ?" crown molding; formal foyer and dining area, study, and a 23?12 paved outdoor entertaining space with gas piping for your outdoor grill. The sunroom takes advantage of the property's majestic oak tree, creating the perfect environment for a yoga lounge, or a personal peaceful retreat. You'll be able to choose everything from hardwood flooring, to granite counters in all rooms. ?
