Why sacrifice when you can have your own park like setting, 2 oversized garages 5 bedrooms with over 3400 sq. ft only 10 minutes from downtown or the glorious St. Pete Beaches, with private golfing and tennis! This is the story of a Hollywood-like Mansion… in the "Community Preservation Commission” now designated as a “Local Landmark,” known as the Custer-Moore residence in Lakewood Estates in the condition of 2018 yet completed in 1925. This Mediterranean Revival style residence was designed by architects Lester and Olin Round, commissioned by Charles Hall to design and build the residence as a piece of statement architecture and be placed at a prominent entrance to his country club development. This hollow clay title residence with 12-inch walls to keep the home cool is topped by Venezuelan tiles with original chandeliers and a built-in China cabinet encased with lighted sconces. Preserved yellow pine floors run throughout the home and sitting atop them is a brand-new custom kitchen with quartz counter tops and accompanying butler’s pantry with split wine fridge. A/C’s one-year-old, eco-smart tankless water heaters, new insulation and 4 new wells for the irrigation system and all the balconies coated with an 15-year commercial rubber coating, all lovingly restored by hand, this home is now turnkey. 4- point passed 06/18.
