About This Home
As of February 2024Expansive and altogether glamourous, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom Mediterranean Revival basks on an elegant circular court with private waterfront backdrop. Level manicured grounds spotlight soaring palm trees, border a lagoon, and extend to a private dock. Home and property showcase preservation and restoration of architectural artistry circa 1927. In an optimal layout, exquisite, architecturally enchanting interior spaces open throughout the main floor to terrace and garden and to balconies from the second floor, where five bedrooms and four bathrooms include the lavish multi-chamber primary suite. Its highlights include a balcony, water view, marble-floored sunroom that doubles as an office, epic dressing room, and statement-piece bathroom. Comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations befit the home’s provenance and feature a luxe kitchen composition that extends to a butler’s pantry, and fireplace-equipped breakfast area with garden access.
