Description for 4920 SW 78th Avenue, Bushnell, FL, 33513
Welcome to "Villa Extraordinaire on the Mediterranean." This magnificent, custom-designed Mediterranean sundeck pool home is a whimsical tribute to the picturesque town of Portofino, Italy. Crafted by its original owner, a celebrated theme park and custom kitchen designer, and brought to life by Dibarco Custom Home Builder, this residence epitomizes luxury and elegance. Nestled on approximately 4.86 acres of lush, heavily wooded land, this home exudes a resort-like ambiance. The expansive pool area, inspired by its Italian namesake, features a stunning charcoal grey finish with sparkling silver flecks. The residence is designed to capture natural light through its many windows and archways, enhanced by decorative columns and carefully curated vignettes, offering an unparalleled sense of comfort and seclusion. Located in Bushnell, with easy access to Tampa and Orlando via the Florida Turnpike and I-75, this home blends convenience with serene privacy. The property boasts central whole-house vacuum and dual laundry facilities on both the first and second floors. The first guest bedroom is currently set up as an in-home office, while the second level includes an additional work area with views of the salon and pool below. The music room, adorned with custom stained glass windows and perfect acoustics, enhances the home's artistic flair. The second guest bedroom features an en suite full bath with custom etched glass shower doors by an Ocala artist, showcasing the ancient palmetto palm fronds from the front courtyard area. Entering through beveled glass double doors, the foyer leads to a kitchen outfitted with solid wood cabinets in a driftwood finish on hickory and chocolate glaze on cherry. Natural light floods the space through two 32' sky tubes, complemented by a coffee station and walk-in pantry. Column accents are thoughtfully placed throughout the home. The living room, parlor, music room, and grand salon provide ample space for entertaining and display. The upstairs primary suite, adjacent to the hardwood-floored octagonal room with its own balcony, features high ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and an en suite bath with double sinks, a walk-in shower, and linen storage. The outdoor area is a true sanctuary, with an underwater shallow pool sundeck and lounge area seating six, underwater bar stools, and bridged walkways. The property also includes an extra-large two-car garage, a water equipment room, raised garden beds for fresh produce, herbs and fruit, a privacy fence, walking trails, and separate driveways for guests and owners. The two-story pool cage adds an extra layer of exclusivity to this remarkable estate. More than just a home, "Villa Extraordinaire on the Mediterranean" is a rejuvenating experience, blending luxurious living with unparalleled privacy and convenience.
