This Bahamian-styled� home is truly stunning, a work of art! Completely renovated down to the foundation with no detail left undone, it is the creation of an award-winning designer (the owner), whose talent and vision is evident in every room, in every detail. The finishes and features are impeccably chosen and crafted, as are every fixture and appliance. Antique St. Louis brick welcomes you on the gracious circular drive.
The entire house including closets and the utility room, as well as the outside deck is floored with Ivory Rustic Saturnia. Touch-latch� custom-made maple cabinetry is found throughout, including office, kitchen, bathrooms, service bar and dining room; in the office, the cabinetry is maple with inlaid mahogany. See supplement for more details!! All door hardware is hand forged iron with pewter plating imported from the French company Bouvet.
You won’t notice it right away, the mural hand- painted on the dining room wall is so subtle and hides the marvelous storage for all your entertaining needs. Double doors can close the kitchen away for a truly formal dining experience. The kitchen cabinets are maple, with every possible detail for efficient use of space. A large side-by-side Sub-Zero, double Jenn-Air wall ovens and a Jenn-Air cook top complete the appliances. The custom vent hood, back-splash and an open display shelf are fabricated from stainless steel. A custom hard rock maple butcher block fits perfectly into a niche. Don’t miss the Walker Zanger glass tile finish on the wall under the kitchen bar.
The eat-in family dining room includes a serving bar that opens to the outside bar, complete with custom maple cabinetry underneath and a bar sink by Bates & Bates. Notice the custom acrylic storage for barware above, the length of the bar! Note the groin vaulted ceiling over the table.
The custom entertainment unit in the family room is itself a work of art, and stays with the home.
The master suite is entered through a gallery with an upholstered window seat, double doors into the bedroom, and includes a tray ceiling. Master bath has custom aqua glass countertops, stainless steel vanities, and the sunken double (GROHE fixtures and size) shower enjoys a secluded exterior garden with exotic tropical palms/plants, Jacuzzi tub by “Pearl� is chosen for medicinal quality whirlpool therapy. French doors lead from master seating area to pool deck.
The split plan allows for guests and family to enjoy a separate suite, complete with kitchenette with Sub-Zero fridge, custom cabinets and KOHLER sink. The tile backsplash is by Carey Chen, a well-known marine artist. Additionally, the guest suite includes a large walk-in closet and a linen closet to keep stocked for the pool and boating!! The cabana bath sports a custom shower and cabinetry. The 3rd bathroom in the guest suite has a creative free-form tiled mirror over the vanity, which is a custom design, and a built-in shower bench.
The covered deck has a ceiling of knotty pine, and comfortably seats 40 for dinner under cover. The outside bar and counters for the built-in grill are of Rainforest Green granite. The dock and sea wall have been recently re-built and can accommodate a 60 ft boat. In addition there is a 9,000 lb lift. Note the perfectly placed and pruned trees full of colorful orchids that provide privacy while allowing the view of the boats and water.
The utility room is an interior room, with upper and lower cabinets, a tumbled marble counter, large extra deep sink, built-in ironing board and desk, and stacking front loading top of the line LG washer and dryer. There are two (zoned) hot water heaters and air-handlers. The exterior of the home has been freshly painted.
Note the unusually large lot, a full 120 ft wide by 112 deep. The windows have either pecky cypress shutters, Bahama hurricane shutters or 3M film for protection; the garage doors are custom designed. The side gardens have been lovingly planted with rare specimen palms.
There is even room for a perfect spacious guest house, which has already been designed, and the plans are ready for permit – a $15,000 value. The guest house, when built, would provide a master bedroom on the upper floor with a living area and kitchen below, opening to the pool and with easy, weather-proof access to the main house. The result would be a truly luxurious, private and very elegant compound. Electronics excluded. Fourth bedroom is office.
