Description

Offered on the market only once in the last three decades and branded as one of the area’s more significant homes with hints of “Palm Beach-ness”, this residence exudes structural fortitude and timeless stature. With an evident nod to the less formal, more modern feel the home is upgraded and renovated. While quietly boasting 3000+ square feet of artfully planned perfection, the home lives perfectly for one resident or even two, whilst equally as comfortable for a family. Elevated designer appointed features do not lean stuffy, yet to the eclectic contrary. The home is interesting and exudes warm invitation. MAIN FLOOR: A proper PRIMARY SUITE with abundant wardrobe space (12 doors; custom built-in) and an impressive spa-like bath with dedicated, functional double vanities, private water closet, and sizable all-marble shower. There are TWO LIVING AREAS - ONE a library/den/optional fifth bedroom delightfully perched on the east side of the home with airy exceedingly high ceilings and direct views to the water. The adjacent SECOND LIVING AREA - also with high ceilings - might be considered a traditional LIVING ROOM. Sizable and also with water views from every angle, this room features a ceiling-high white stone fireplace with fireside bench seating. The DINING ROOM, with water views and a high, coffered ceiling, is the introduction and neighbors the GOURMET KITCHEN with Butler’s Pantry and every bell-and-whistle the novice or accomplished chef could wish for! Two Sub Zeros - one main with another nearby dedicated for beverages; enormous gas (propane) Wolf double-oven with 6-burner stovetop with griddle and grille; warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher; Wolf microwave; significant center island with two-ended trash/recycling bins. Convenient to the kitchen is the laundry room, a generous three-car garage with adjacent storage room, and a delightful cabana bath. Access from four rooms is an inviting and very comfortable LANAI complete with a summer kitchen. The LARGE OBLONG POOL (heated) is glistening blue. The new concrete dock with its 10K lift (2023) is easily accessed from the newly-fenced (2024) back and side yards, and is viewed completely from the upstairs balcony that expands nearly the entire length of the rear of the home. UPSTAIRS: Off the light-filled foyer, there are two rooms with closets and a dedicated bathroom suitable as bedrooms and/or home offices, BOTH with direct French Door access to the expansive rear balcony. A SECOND PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE is accessed thru double doors via the foyer. It has massive windows and French Doors with a private, front-of-property loggia-style balcony with fans and its own dedicated storage room - think the perfect out-of-sight room for outdoors cushions and other equipment. If a second primary is not required, this room would pleasing serve as a gym, upstairs living room or even a home theater or billiards room. The skylit SECOND PRIMARY BATH is like no other, with interesting marble work, large jetted tub and celestial, artist-created images on the walls and ceiling. Every corner of the home is freshly painted and designer finished, and the roof is new (2024). Likened to structures in Santa Barbara with romantic tones of Spanish revival architecture, this residence is available for the most discerning buyer to acquire at an under-market price
