The great room, viewed here from the dining room, was made with large, open spaces for entertaining. In the foreground, the sculpture of a girl is from the Lindells’ recent trip to Capri, Italy, while in the background, the glass piece above the fireplace by American artist Dale Chihuly was purchased decades ago. The restored Steinway piano is over a century old.

Art Collectors’ Paradise

ARCHITECT: Sol Fleischman, of FleischmanGarcia Architecture
BUILDER: Jim Kalemeris Construction
INTERIOR DESIGNER: Roger Duffala, of Duffala/Von Thaden
LIGHTING: Craig A. Roeder and Associates


Carl and Lyda Lindell’s love of art is on full display throughout their longtime South Tampa home.

Over half of their 450-plus-piece collection is showcased throughout their 9,800-square-foot waterfront slice of paradise.

This bright, colorful sculpture from Santa Fe, New Mexico, contrasts beautifully against the natural backdrop of the Bay and sky.

“Art makes everything come alive,” says Carl, a multifamily developer and real estate lender.

Carl worked closely with friend Sol Fleischman, chairman and CEO of FleischmanGarcia Architecture, as the architect of the two-story, six-bedroom home; they visited design centers across the country together for inspiration. Roger Duffala, of Duffala/Von Thaden, contributed to the interior design, and commercial builder Jim Kalemeris Construction spent two years building the house. Completed in 1989, it won Best Custom Home that same year from the Builders Association of Greater Tampa.

Out back, stunning sculptures ornament the yard and pool.

“This is a classic, timeless house that still looks as good as it did on day one,” Fleischman says.

Its neoclassical style is grand, incorporating a two-story porte-cochère that Fleischman notes “makes a statement;” big, curved crown moldings; traditional detailing; a classical fireplace and a traditional stairwell. The molding was hand fabricated out of stucco for a smooth finish.

Architect and interior designer Sol Fleischman designed the home with plenty of wall space to display the Lindells’ vast, eclectic art collection, as pictured here in the foyer.

“It’s my dream house,” says Lyda, a doctor practicing functional medicine. The Lindells have been collecting art for decades, and their home reflects their eclectic taste, from old masters to contemporary artists. Many of the pieces were acquired during their world travels, including at art shows and seminars. They like to rotate the art, so guests never know what they’re going to see.

Their international collection includes paintings by French artists Fernand Léger, William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Paul Signac; a sculpture by Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali; and works from Italy, Korea, Russia, Canada, Africa, Indonesia and beyond. Notable American works include glass by Dale Chihuly, sculpture by Frederick Hart and Alexander Calder, photography by Clyde Butcher, pop graphics by Roy Lichtenstein and a painting by Miguel Martinez.

“We designed the house around a lot of these major works,” Carl says. “We had to provide a lot of wall space.”

The master bedroom is serene and spacious with soft hues, calming art and large windows on two walls for dreamy Bay views. The painting above the bed is by Italian artist Claude Le Boul.

Beyond the walls and halls, art has found its way outside, prominently displayed around the pool and yard. There’s nothing quite like taking in a life-sized, colorful sculpture with a backdrop of the Bay, sky and sometimes dolphins or manatees. The house was designed with prominent water views, including through massive windows in the great room, Carl’s study, the workout room with a jacuzzi, and the master bedroom — Lyda’s favorite.

“It’s such a serene room,” Lyda says. “It’s a very peaceful view.”

One of the Lindells’ other favorite rooms, the ping-pong room, is Southwestern themed. There, you’ll find art by James Reynolds, John Nieto, Billy Schenck and Howard Post, inspired by Carl’s time living out West. Fittingly, Carl serves on board of the James Museum of Western Art in St. Petersburg.

Carl and Lyda love playing ping-pong in their Southwestern-themed room.

“No room is the same,” Carl says. “They all have their own personality.”

The crowd-pleasing room tends to be the billiard and bar room, warm and comfortable with rich walnut and brass-coffered elements. The dining room also makes a statement, set apart three steps up and bordered by columns “so it has its own integrity,” Fleischman notes.

The billiard room is a popular gathering place for guests, boasting rich walnut and brass elements. It features a pool table custom-made in New York, a bar, a lounge and Carl’s book collection, including illustrations by American artist Maxfield Parrish.

The Lindells enjoy entertaining and have generously hosted lavish gatherings sometimes topping 200 people, from weddings and charity events to military and political functions. Prestigious guests have included U.S. presidential candidate Lamar Alexander, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, CIA Director and U.S. Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Gens. Tommy Franks and Jay Hood.

Fleischman, a frequent visitor, has been impressed with how well the Lindells have maintained the home, upgrading the furniture, landscaping, patio and entire kitchen. Who knows what’s next? But a wise guess would be some new pieces of art.

A two-story porte-cochère makes for a grand entryway and contributes to the neoclassical style of the Lindells’ South Tampa home.
