Elegant home sets the scene for a lifestyle of seaside luxury.
Highland Beach, Florida
World-class style meets first-class comfort in this expansive direct ocean estate. With 100 feet of pristine beach frontage, this elegant home sets the scene for a lifestyle of seaside luxury. Nearly every room on the upper three levels offers a dazzling ocean view and a crowning "crow's nest" puts you on top of the world!
Custom built in 1995 by a family with a flair for entertaining, this home's open floor plan supports everything from galas to luaus to intimate family gatherings with ease. Designed by award-winning Boca Raton architects Miklos & Associates and recently updated with a full renovation, this estate meets current codes and modern expectations in every way. This exceptional home is offered for sale for the first time ever.
LOCATION
Highland Beach is an exclusive community encompassing just over one-half square mile on a barrier island. Uncommonly high dunes found here afford extraordinary vantage points and natural protection from the sea. Town services include a library, post office, community center, police protection and 24/7 paramedic service, plus art classes, concerts and other cultural events for residents' enjoyment.
At Boca Raton's northeast shoreline and midway between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, this locale is close to fine dining, galleries, boutiques, golf, polo and boating. Florida's Turnpike and I-95 are just minutes away. Full-time and seasonal residents, business travelers and guests appreciate the short drive to Boca Raton's Executive Airport (just 4.5 miles) and easy access to three international airports for worldwide travel.
PROPERTY
A colonnade of royal palms and tropical foliage announce this 1/2+ acre property. A parquet-patterned brick drive leads through an ornate security gate to a spacious walled courtyard. The impressive front entry includes massive mahogany doors reached by gracefully curved staircases that frame a garden and fountain below.
Decorative cast stone medallions, friezes and balustraded balconies lend old-world charm to the freshly stuccoed and newly painted exterior. Commanding ocean views are enhanced at night by a powerful lighting system that illuminates the 100-foot beach and the sea beyond (after turtle season, of course).
An 85 x 50 foot patio with freeform pool and six-person waterfall spa overlook the ever-changing Atlantic. Family and guests will enjoy the large built-in barbeque grill, outdoor bar and cabana bath, plus a covered lanai for seaside dining. A top-of-the-dune wooden sun deck has stairs leading to the beach below.
RESIDENCE
With over 10,500 total square feet on four floors, this home's design blends comfort, convenience and style at every turn. It features a gracious foyer, a dramatic two-story living room with full bar, a formal dining room, an office/library, a family/media room, a spacious chef's kitchen with bar and breakfast nook, an ultra luxe movie theater and lobby, a large game room, five bedrooms, six full baths, a powder room, a utility room, a four-car garage, an exercise room, a large upper level sun deck and a rooftop observation deck (the crow's nest). A windowed elevator provides quick passage to all four floors.
Exquisite marble, onyx and granite with many attractive inlays are used artfully throughout the house. Connoisseurs of stone will appreciate touches like Breccia Onicate marble on the staircase, blue pearl granite in the kitchen and more. Hand-crafted wood moldings enhance high ceilings in every room. Impact glass windows, a central vacuum and full-house HD satellite are a few of the conveniences found here.
MAIN FLOOR
A domed foyer with six-foot chandelier opens to an airy, two-story living room that is brilliantly endowed with spectacular ocean views. A granite bar with sink, ice maker and refrigerator encourage entertaining in this opulent space, as well as a lavish powder room.
From the living room, a columned archway leads to a large guest room with built-in desk and ensuite honey onyx bath.
Another columned archway leads to the family room and chef's kitchen. Sleek granite adds panache to countertops, the cook island, desk and bar (with seating for four) in the kitchen, which also features a SubZero refrigerator and freezer, a Jenn-Air cooktop with grill and a double oven. An eye-catching curved-glass window defines the breakfast nook. The kitchen and breakfast area share shimmering ocean vistas with the 18 x 20 foot family/media room, which boasts a 62" wall-mounted LCD flat-screen TV. The 18 x 15 foot formal dining room comfortably seats ten or more and features a magnificent 16 foot onyx-topped buffet. French doors open to a balcony overlooking the courtyard.
Crystal-adorned mahogany doors lead from the living room to the masterfully crafted CEO office/library. Rich mahogany floors, wall paneling, executive desk, cabinetry and coffered ceiling distinguish this room. A large flat-screen TV, halogen lighting and glimmering water views round out the amenities.
THIRD FLOOR
A private master bedroom suite with panoramic ocean views fills the north wing of this floor. It includes a sitting area and built-in entertainment center. A tray ceiling and high-hat lighting add to the resort styling. Double glass doors open to an oceanfront balcony.
The centerpiece of the spacious master bath is a crystal chandelier, beautifully poised over an intricately inlaid marble floor. An etched, frosted-glass window infuses the room with natural light while protecting bathers' privacy. Designed for two, this spa-like bath has a two-person whirlpool tub, a large ocean-view shower with dual water sources (one with a rainforest head), two granite-topped vanities, two large walk-in closets and twin toilet rooms that include bidets. For convenience, a telephone and TV are provided.
An interior balcony on this level overlooks the grand living room and breathtaking seascapes. A brass-capped wrought-iron railing rims the balcony and bridge leading to two additional bedroom suites. The ocean-side bedroom features double-doors and a balcony. Each of these 15 x 12 foot bedrooms includes a built-in desk, walk-in closet and ensuite bath.
FOURTH FLOOR
The fourth floor is dedicated to a sky-high exercise room with dynamic ocean and city views. A vaulted ceiling, mirrored wall and mini bar with sink and refrigerator add to the function of this 26 x 16 foot loft-style haven, which could easily be converted to a 6th bedroom.
Outside at this level is a huge sun deck overlooking the ocean. A spiral staircase leads to the 17 x 17 foot rooftop observation deck. This delightful setting includes seating/lounging platforms and delivers 360 degree views from 56 feet above sea level!
LOWER LEVEL
The piece de resistance of the lower level is a movie theater with a Crestron projection system, surround sound and a 118" screen. With seating for seven in reclining lounge chairs, fabric-lined walls, suede doors and a marble-floored screening lobby that includes its own flat screen TV, this theater is the epitome of luxury! Built into the dune on the lower level and with a securely locking vault door, this suite doubles as a safe room.
The lower level also includes an enormous walnut-floored game room with built-in office, a 15 x 15 foot maid's/guest room with walk-in closet, a full bath, a 14 x 12 foot utility room with new Tromm front-load washer and dryer, two sinks, a built-in ironing board and storage. A four-car air-conditioned garage with storage and workshop area complete this level.
