Talisman: An object that is thought to have magic powers and to bring good luck. As you enter the privated gated entrance you will find peace and tranquility traveling the tree lined drive to this unique Talisman on the Withlacoochee River. This owner/builder created a solid and well built home for his family using bricks and stones from many locations in Historic Tampa Bay area. As you enter through the wooden door you will find brick, stone and wood floors through-out, large windows, Pecky Cypress accents, high ceilings and huge rooms. To the right is the Owner's Office with wood floors and a private entrance. To the left is the living room with fireplace, entrance to a stone patio and loft above (currently used as a sewing room). The Fireplace in the kitchen opens the possibilities for creativity and the space is open and large with room for the dining table large enough for any gathering. In this room you'll find slate and brick floors, a long breakfast bar (wood of course) all just waiting for your vision to come to life. On the opposite end of the first floor is a Library with floor to ceiling shelves and another exterior entrance. The Master is large and offers a huge walk-in closet, en suite bath with a sunken marble tub and a marble shower. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and two sitting areas. Overlooking the river is the TOWER: Upstairs and Downstairs studios with rounded walls and large windows for light to bring out your creative spirit. GUEST HOUSE: The studio style guest home was designed and built by an architect with attention to quality and detail. Sit on the private front porch or enjoy the fireplace inside as the large windows allow views of nature. Complete with fireplace, kitchen, and upstairs loft bedroom this is a really great get away spot. The large barn used as workshop has open space to work with wood and steel, storage, office space --- let your imagination run wild with this space---so many possibilities. Nearby is a pole barn perfect for equipment storage. All around the 6 acres you'll find many seating areas to reflect and enjoy nature. The winding river frontage creates unparralled privacy and this property is located high on the banks of the river so it is not in a flood zone. Tucked away at the end of the road and yet so near to all major roads with access to Orlando, Ocala and Tampa Bay area this can be your get away retreat or your permanent family home. It is a must see to appreciate all this has to offer.
