Experience the ultimate living in the heart of Lake Ida, mere steps from Swinton and only 11 blocks from Atlantic Avenue. The moment you pull into the drive, you will know you are someplace special. Nearly invisible from surrounding streets and neighbors, this lushly landscaped double lot features a sprawling 5,200 sq ft, 6 bedroom, 4.2 bath house outfitted with the finest fixtures, finishes and designer touches throughout. The home features a striking lagoon pool with a large covered pergola, expansive grassy areas for play, a shade garden with exotic plants, fruit trees, and a covered rear patio, all surrounded by a canopy of majestic live oaks and sabal palms. No other East Delray property affords this level of privacy, luxury and sophisticated upgrades. The house itself emerged in 2003 from the joining and expansion of a small house and separate garage originally built in the early 70s. Combining formal and informal areas with a warm West Indies feeling and numerous windows, you will find a light and bright floorplan that brings the outdoors in. Ongoing updates and extensive planting have culminated in this one-of-a-kind tropical-inspired residence. Make your way through a gracious foyer to any of the three wings of the house, each of which has bedrooms providing privacy for you, and your guests. A wet bar equipped with a fridge, wine chiller, Bosch dishwasher and two closets for storage leads into the gourmet kitchen that was redone in 2015. A 5' Sub Zero columnar fridge/freezer, Wolf cooktop with gas and induction heating, 3 Thermador ovens including a microwave and warming drawer and another Bosch dishwasher are among the highlights. Stunning Pompeii quartz counters and a beautiful blue veined quartzite island top and raised eating bar give the kitchen extra punch. Open to the kitchen are a spacious dining area and large family room, complete with surround sound and a gas fireplace, which looks out and gives access to the pool. A rear-covered patio provides more room for relaxing, dining and grilling. The more formal open living and dining rooms are perfect for entertaining, hosting an elegant dinner party or simply curling up with a good book in a peaceful setting. Nothing is more refreshing, however, than beginning and ending your day in the sumptuous master suite, with two walk-in closets, a master bath with double sinks, soaker tub and roomy separate shower, as well an adjoining library/study/office.
This home was further enhanced by a 2011 addition off the family room, which includes a generator for emergencies. The additional space is composed of a cabana powder room, another family room with surround sound and full opening to the pool with tile floor for wet feet, followed by two bedrooms with a big Jack and Jill bath. In the spacious garage, you'll appreciate ample space for your toys, with a walkable attic A/C storage area accessible by pull-down stairs, plus an electric lift to move items up and down. From its vast art display walls to built-in bookcases, high-end stone and wood finishes, and luxurious spaces to lounge inside and out, you'll be hard pressed to find a more turnkey retreat. Three-zone A/C, hurricane impact resistant windows throughout, a screened-in pet room, abundance of low-voltage outdoor lighting and a separate 12x18, all cedar A/C building copied from a Caribbean boathouse round out the extraordinary estate.
