Just beyond the gate at ?Serella Stables?, a sophisticated brick-paved drive awaits to lead you through your
sprawling equestrian estate. Against the 37-acre backdrop of pastures and lush southern trees, serene views
of your ivory-hued barn, maintenance house, and stunning 7,800 square foot main house charm with
gorgeous cupola-adorned metal roofs. Though the concrete main house notes French Colonial tradition,
with its wrap of 7,000 square feet of iron-lined terraces, the interior boasts electric urban-style for warming
moods and inspiring creativity. Step inside to find organic shades of grandly planked wood floors, fieldstone
supports, accent walls, soaring wood-clad ceilings, and big-city detail. Here, guests will be in awe of the
entry?s graceful stairwell as it shelters a glass enclosed wine cellar with bank-vault door access. Pour glasses
and entice a tour by mentioning the home?s gear and industrial fixtures and accents of brick reclaimed from
a Chicago warehouse. While the salt-water fish of the centerpiece aquarium mesmerize, stone pillars direct
the eye to breathtaking ceilings inspiring curiosity about the rest of the home. When ready to dine,
professional-grade appliances and endless inset cabinetry compete for attention with property views and an
extravagant display for servingware. Inspired by European flair, with ladder and diamond-patterned glass,
make old-world recipes while loved ones gather; bringing cheer and news of the day?s activities. In the
library, a breathtaking ceiling soars to a sun-lit game night mezzanine, while the great room of lofted beams,
four luxurious bedrooms, and four and a half dazzling bathrooms impress. In all rooms, on-trend
black-framed windows fill spaces with light and property views, while terrace lanterns invite you for evening
air and quiet sunsets. In day, spend breezy summers visiting with friends and watch the game at the outdoor
kitchen and bar. Elsewhere on the property, plan to fish the morning away; floating on Lake Ella, your
private, fully stocked aerated lake. After breakfast, stroll to the four-car garage, and select the weekend?s ride,
or, in the tack room, select a saddle for exploring the estate?s winding trails with your best-loved horse. Upon
returning to the brick and cyprus barn, eight stalls, two showers, and tack room are handsomely appointed
for care. While on tour, be sure to visit the maintenance building with elevator and dream-realizing space
for future guest quarters. A wonderful base for local fun, ?Serella Stables? is only five miles from ?The
Golden Crescent? of Tarpon Springs where waterways, brick-lined streets, and art festivals enchant.
Downtown Tampa, only 30 minutes away, offers its airport, posh shops, dining, sun-loving culture and more!
