It is locally renowned as the Historic Century Oaks and I have to admit it’s quite a fantastic place. It is the most magnificent residence to be found throughout Pinellas and has been constructed atop a sloping bluff in the middle of ornamentally trimmed gardens.
Apart from everything paving the way towards the warm water, the estate comprises a main mansion, two pools, tennis court, basketball court, carriage house, boat docks and the North House. Covering a full 3.45 acres, the estate is securely enclosed by walls and comprise pathways with inlays painted by hands alongside stalwart Live-Oak trees and gorgeous fountains.
Providing breathtaking views over the Clearwater Bay are the gazebo and the historic bell tower, two of the property’s most beautiful spots. As for the main residence itself, it comprises 23,159 square feet of exquisite living space, 15 full bathrooms, 9 half bathrooms and 10 lavish bedrooms.
There are also plenty of custom features all around, nicely tucked into the formal and informal living and dining spaces, two guest wings, music studio, ballroom that opens towards the expansive terraces, trophy room, library, theater room and sun room. Mind you, there are plenty of places to relax or entertain, everywhere around the home.
And there’s also the North House, which provides an additional 5,000 square feet of living space. It encompasses a total of 4 large bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, two half baths, sun room, full gym, billiard room, an array of offices, fireplace and music room. Moreover, the Historic Century Oaks is able to accommodate in excess of 10 vehicles, in terms of parking, inside an air conditioned garage and a number of open air parking spots perfect for arrivals at large events. Without any sort of bridge restrictions, the waters of the Gulf are fully accessible, just minutes away. And to say the least, Historic Century Oaks is thirty minutes away from Tampa International Airport and a few blocks from downtown Clearwater.
Listed for sale at $17.5 million, the 1915-built estate is currently waiting for a buyer. If you ask me, there’s absolutely no time to wait, if your pockets are full enough.
