When Glaser purchased Tarpon Isle, it held a modest 1940 s home and lots of capacity.
“I came over the bridge, I saw the two trees and I said, ‘Guys, let’s knock down the garage and the guest house and the maid’s quarters and let’s build a brand new house,'” Glaser stated.
The brand-new primary home is over 9,000 square feet. With the visitor home, tennis structure and other structures, the residential or commercial property now has more than 21,000 feet of living area. There are 11 bed rooms, 15 complete restrooms and 7 half-baths.

Outside, there’s a brand-new 98- foot swimming pool ignoring the views of the water to the south. A big dock can fit numerous boats or a mega-yacht. The visitor home includes resort-like features, consisting of a day spa, massage space, beauty salon and home entertainment location.
