ONE OF A KIND CUSTOM CYPRESS LOG HOME! Incredible 4,000+SF, 4 bed, 3.5 bath, 3 car garage with exercise room, loft above garage and 3+ space metal barn on 20 acres of tranquility awaits! As you approach this magnificent home you will note the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail at every turn. The square red cypress log construction with dovetail corners add the perfect amount of rustic quality with charm. The metal roof contrasts beautifully with the rich deep wood tones. Expansive porches with genuine tabacco steaks for spindles add to the character for all the handrails on the front back and side of the home-giving you plenty of options to sit back and relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. As you approach the front of the house you can't help but notice the massive window wall that cascades enormous amounts of natural light into the family room. Walking in to the foyer details in the construction attract your attention. Everything from the reclaimed Tampa brick foyer floors which transition into the 5 different species of wood from Indiana throughout the house laid on a 45 degree angle. The vaulted ceilings are anchored with 2 massive hand peeled flared bottom cypress center support tree trunks. At the apex of the vaulted room are custom beams highlighting the tongue and groove cypress paneled ceilings. A gorgeous fireplace rises along the back wall with a keystone rock centering the hearth. A small kids loft overlooks the entire common area. Reclaimed barn wood from NC was used for the cabinetry for the kitchen uppers and lowers. But don't let the rustic details in the open kitchen fool you- this kitchen can handle the most serious chef's needs. With a 6 burner propane cooktop and commercial grade vent hood at the heart of the kitchen, you'll note the remaining stainless steel appliances: French door refrigerator, dishwasher, French door upper and standard built in ovens are all from the GE Cafe line. Advantium convection oven/microwave completes the set, but don't overlook the radiant heating oven from Alto Shaaam or the Scotsman nugget ice maker-perfect for having plenty of ice for large parties and entertaining. The office has a massive Fort Knox 40" door protecting the 6X12 concrete reinforced walls, ceiling and floor-perfect for valuables or a storm room. The primary en suite has 2 walk in closets, sitting area, dry bar and private screened in porch. The bathroom has dual water closets and a piece of Tampa history-the doors to the ladies and gentlemen water closets are from the former Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant. A large copper free-standing tub and walk in dual headed shower area. The guest bedrooms are wonderfully detailed with rich wood accents and you will note that all the bathroom sink countertops have real rood live edges. An oversized laundry room with Speed Queen washer and dryer, stainless deep sink and a large folding island has more than enough storage. At the end of the hall is the breezeway tot the detached oversized 3 car garage with a work out room and sauna and an unfinished loft over the garage. And for additional storage/work space there is a large 3 bay metal work shop/barn at the far side of the property. Other note worthy items: Isoline insulation in attic and under subfloor, 2 tankless hot water heaters with 250 gallon LP tank, 3 stage water filter, hurricane impact-insulated windows, burn piles with dedicated water lines and Starlink internet equipment.
