Welcome to La Dolce Vita-the good life. From the moment you arrive, this enchanting home captivates with its paver driveway, graceful porte cochére, and tall columns supporting a cool, shaded front porch that invites you to linger. The elegant entry door, adorned with a square lattice inset of luminous capiz shells, offers a hint of the beauty that unfolds inside. Step through and be greeted by soaring ceilings, crown molding, and a glowing gas fireplace anchoring an open, light-filled floor plan designed for effortless living and memorable gatherings. The home is rich with vintage character-none more striking than the dramatic vintage folding doors with capiz shell accents in sun-warmed Mediterranean tones of terra-cotta, Tuscan gold, and cerulean blue. Throughout the home, original two-panel doors with glass knobs and brass hardware are sourced vintage elements that showcase craftsmanship of a bygone era. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both stunning and social, boasting honed granite countertops, bar seating beneath pendant lights, gleaming stainless-steel appliances, and a new gas range-perfect for hosting lively dinners or intimate evenings alike. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with a walk-in closet, a private entry to the backyard and hums with good energy and comfort. Enter the spa-like en-suite bath through a wonderful salvaged oak barn door where you'll discover new oversized curated floor-to-ceiling tile, a new double-sink vanity, frameless glass walk-in shower, and a sculptural fluted sumptuous soaking tub beneath a charming bubble chandelier, creating a daily ritual of indulgence. Designer lighting throughout enhances the abundant natural light pouring in through a generous amount of windows. Out back the fully fenced backyard reveals a private oasis: a beautifully landscaped retreat complete with an outdoor kitchen featuring a gas grill, refrigerator, bar, pergola, gas fireplace lounge area, custom lighting AND a flat screen TV - an irresistible setting for al fresco entertaining or watching the big game under the stars. Perfectly situated in sought-after South Seminole Heights, just steps from the river and Rivercrest Park, this home offers the rare luxury of tranquility without compromise-and the peace of mind of being outside the flood zone. Your new lifestyle is waiting for you!
