Experience the height of Livable Luxury in this extraordinary estate designed by Thomas Everett Lamb and built by Windstar Homes, an award-winning custom builder with over 100 industry accolades for craftsmanship and architectural excellence. Positioned on the open bay along Davis Islands, this one-of-a-kind residence blends timeless design with resort-style living. Created for grand-scale entertaining and refined everyday living, the home captures sweeping bay views, expansive terraces, and meticulously curated interiors. A stately arrival welcomes with parking for 9 vehicles and a 4-car garage, framed by hand-cast cement trim, shell detailing, and custom copper lanterns. Twin fountains accent the circular glass-paneled French doors, opening to a breathtaking foyer highlighted by a sweeping spiral staircase, intricate filigree ironwork, layered crown and dentil moldings, and a dramatic domed ceiling. The Grand Salon and formal dining spaces, including a dining alcove flanked by dual wine rooms with beveled glass, feature hardwood floors, hand-carved limestone fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling arched windows. Walls of glass frame the west-facing veranda, gazebo, pool, fire pit, party dock, pickleball court, and unobstructed open bay. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, with concealed air-conditioning vents seamlessly integrated within the crown molding, deep windowsills, and extensive custom millwork. The chef’s kitchen centers around a massive island with beveled stone countertops and dual crystal chandeliers, complemented by Sub-Zero refrigeration, double dishwashers, and a Wolf range with griddle. A fully equipped scullery kitchen offers commercial refrigeration, double ovens, and additional prep space, ideal for catered events. A butler’s pantry, mudroom, and secondary laundry enhance daily functionality. Seamless indoor-outdoor living unfolds as the kitchen and great room open to a covered terrace featuring a pizza oven, warming drawer, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, sink, gas grill, and generous seating and dining areas overlooking the pool and bay. The first level also includes a bayfront office with custom cabinetry and fireplace, a game room with bar and adjacent theater, as well as a gym, craft, and multipurpose spaces. A private guest suite with rotunda seating, kitchenette, and elaborate bath completes the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary occupying nearly one-third of the level. Entered through a grand vestibule, it features a bayfront sitting room with terrace access, limestone fireplace, dual custom walk-in closets with crystal chandeliers, and a spa-inspired bath with fireplace, steam shower, and marble finishes. Additional bedroom suites offer ensuite baths, custom cabinetry, and tranquil water or garden views, with many opening to private terraces. A separate guest or nanny suite, accessible via stairs and a hidden passage, includes a full kitchen, living area, bedroom, walk-in closet, laundry, and full bath. Outdoor living rivals a private resort, with a gazebo featuring marble bar seating for ten, a resort-style pool, fire pit, multiple terraces, pool baths, and a fully equipped kitchen. A crow’s nest terrace captures west-facing sunsets over the bay. With elevator access, 3 staircases, integrated technology, whole-home audio, and thoughtfully designed flow, this Davis Islands estate delivers architectural grandeur, modern luxury, and an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle.
Davis Islands, located between Hillsborough Bay and the Seddon Channel, is a waterfront and residential Tampa neighborhood with a marina-lined shoreline and a village-style commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Davis Blvd near Roy Jenkins Pool, where sidewalk patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts set a breezy, walkable rhythm. Community pillars include the historic Peter O. Knight Airport, the Davis Islands Yacht Club, and the Tampa Museum of Art just across the water. Mediterranean Revival and coastal contemporary homes sit beside canals, seawalls, and pocket parks. Bayshore views and boat traffic shape daily routines, while dog-friendly green space and shoreline paths keep the pace outdoors.
