This magnificent Regency style home is situated on two thirds of an acre along the ocean in Palm Beach. Originally built in 1955, the home was restored in 1995 keeping the original architectural vision of balance and symmetry. Rich architectural details abound throughout the home –original plaster moldings, restored and enhanced, and finely detailed millwork to name but a few. The estate is entered into from Seagrape Circle through a circular drive and motor court. Enter the French doors up a graceful set of marble steps to the gallery foyer, where the first of many wonderful geometric skylights illuminates your arrival. The gallery leads directly into the grand living room which features parquet floors, neoclassical columns, a marble fireplace and abundant natural light. Arched French doors open to the ocean front east patio and formal garden inviting you to relax and enjoy the ocean views. The double doors at the south end of the living room lead to a private Master suite which is a treat unto itself complete with an ocean view study, large bedroom, his and her baths, bountiful closet space and a private patio overlooking the pool. A large scale, sophisticated dining room overlooks the pool and the elevated outside dining terrace. The adjacent breakfast room with geometric skylight leads to a modern kitchen complete with Miele, Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry and granite countertops. Staff quarters, accessed via a back staircase off the kitchen, include a very large laundry room, full bath, bedroom and sitting room. This area could easily be converted into a den, home office or a gym. A key design element of this Regency is the integration of the East and West gardens into the home creating a series of indoor and outdoor living spaces, ideal for entertaining on all scales. Located on a lower terrace, the fabulous pool side cabana is waiting for a party.
