About This Home
As of August 2020Located in the secluded North End of world-famous Palm Beach Island, this well-maintained two story home is surrounded by mature landscaping creating a tranquil retreat. The ornate arched entryway leads to the gracious foyer and dining area with terracotta tile found through most of the downstairs living spaces. The living room is flooded with natural light through three sets of French doors that open to the patio and backyard. A gourmet kitchen features a gas range and stainless appliances. The downstairs is completed by guest suite and spacious laundry room.
Upstairs, a stunning master suite with a beautiful balcony overgrown with bougainvillea overlooks the supremely tranquil backyard and pool. Two additional bedrooms offer plenty of room for friends and family. The North End of Palm Beach is surrounded by world-famous beaches on one side and the beautiful Intracoastal waterway on the other with easy access to both.
