John R. DeSilva purchased his home in 2006, renovated it, lived in it, and sold in 2014. This Gorgeous Tuscan style waterfront estate had amazing views of downtown St. Pete, and was located in the highly sought after neighborhood of Snell Isle.

Truly the epitome of luxury waterfront living, this custom built estate had amazing architectural details throughout, beginning with a tumbled stone exterior with slate roof and copper downspouts; continuing through the gourmet kitchen featuring a Mediterranean fireplace and extending into an entertainer's dream backyard with covered stone verandah, built-in fireplace and heated infinity edge pool.

The interior boasted cathedral ceilings, custom built-ins and millwork throughout, stately fireplaces, hand painted recessed ceilings and amazing vistas of downtown St. Pete. One could entertain in grand style in the formal dining room with dual built in wine refrigerators, then retreat to the comfortable music room. The decadent kitchen boasted all the fine finishes you would expect from a "Tampa Bay Dream House" award winner, complete with large walk-in pantry. The master retreat featured separate jetted tub, walk in shower, dual vessel sinks, granite countertops, an enormous walk-in closet and a private balcony to enjoy premier views of Tampa Bay.

Two additional en suite bedrooms plus a private guest quarters rounded out the second story. It was only a short walk to vibrant downtown St. Petersburg to enjoy fine dining, shopping boutiques, or visits to museums and art galleries.
