Set on 3.32 meticulously landscaped acres, this sophisticated and elegant Gold Coast jewel is a true luxury retreat. The home was designed by esteemed early 20th-century architect Mott B. Schmidt, who was highly regarded for his grand homes. A grand entrance welcomes guests, framed by stately arched trees that line the long, circular driveway. Inside, the richly paneled foyer and wide pegged oak floors set the stage for exquisite architectural details, including a sweeping staircase and intricate custom millwork. The first floor offers a seamless blend of grandeur and comfort. The magnificent living room and banquet-sized dining room both feature elegant fireplaces, while the gourmet kitchen boasts a spacious center island and a bright breakfast room. A butler’s pantry adds convenience, and the library, adorned with built-in bookcases and a fireplace, offers a cozy retreat.

Oversized windows throughout the home provide breathtaking views of the lush grounds. The expansive primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, spa-like bath, dressing area, and a large balcony overlooking the manicured gardens.
