Tuscan Style Villa built with Family in mind. The airy and spacious 6 bedrooms, 5/1 baths 5995 sq.f. home is designed for a family lifestyle, grand entertaining and large family gatherings.
Privately situated on a cul-de-sac, behind the gates of Ashley Drive in the heart of Lakeland, this exquisite European inspired retreat is the perfect blend of timeless and modern. Enter through the French double doors crowned with custom arches and columns into a dramatic entryway with soaring ceilings and travertine flooring into the formal living room. Double French doors open to the expansive outdoor veranda, sparkling saltwater pool and spa, manicured gardens, an outdoor kitchen, perfect to enjoy the relaxed and casual Florida lifestyle. The formal dining area with travertine accent wall and tray ceilings has ample space for those huge family dinners around the holidays. For the chef in the house the oversized and over equipped kitchen is the heart of the home, with six gas burner Monogram cooktop, 6' Subzero refrigerator, two dishwashers, Monogram double ovens and a walk-in pantry. Imagine yourself preparing dinner overlooking kids playing in the family room or friends gathered at the bar, clinking glasses, making memories. The home has a perfect flow. The master suite on the ground floor rivals that of any 5 star resort with it's own sitting area, his and hers dressing rooms, incredible bathroom with large shower for two, his and her vanity and large spa tub. Mediterranean architecture is all about stone and wood, simple lines, sophisticated yet livable spaces that you can see and feel throughout the house. The second floor is all about the children- 4 large bedrooms with walk-in closets, 2 baths, play area, second laundry room, fitness or bonus room and an air-conditioned storage room. The Gated neighborhood of Ashley Drive is a jewel in the heart of Lakeland with its mature trees, winding roads and fast access to Orlando, Tampa, St. Pete and Clearwater's beautiful sandy beaches. This is one of those special homes where memories are made. Kids splashing in the pool, afternoon cookouts, sleepovers, cars in the driveway, bikes at the ready, sunny mornings filled with lag or shady afternoons on the patio with a book… and now this can be all yours.
