Property details
About 5020 S Shore Crest Cir
Home is being sold without owner warranties, the bones of this home are amazing and worth renovating for the person that does not want a new build. The history of this Tampa landmark (although not on the historic registry) is very interesting. The Mediterranean style estate on over a ½ acre, was restored to its 1920’s grandeur in 1987. It is surrounded by a stucco over hollow tile security wall enhanced by forged Spanish wrought iron security gates. The walkways, courtyards and portions of the front and pool are hand laid in old Chicago brick. The Olympic size pool was originally saltwater fed from Tampa Bay. The dock was partially damaged by the storm and is not walkable at this time. The original owners, Arnold S. Kirkelby and his wife Carlotta, Questa (The Questa cigar heirs) the only daughter of Tampa cigar magnate, A.L. Questa delighted in entertaining Hollywood guests such as Esther Williams, who performed by diving from the three-story tower into the 67-foot pool. Mr. Kirkleby was from Hollywood, and their Hollywood home was the home used for the Beverly Hills hillbilly series. The Shore Crest house is not a consideration as part of the sale, but it just comes with the land if someone wants it.
