Set back from the street and beyond hand forged iron gates, beautiful landscaped tropical garden surrounding the driveway, and through antique double wood doors, you will have entered the dramatic inner courtyard of this three story, meticulously updated retreat.

The award winning mosaic tiled pool, an adjacent original fountain designed pergola, provides a dramatic and ultra private courtyard to this elegant and comfortable home.

Surrounding the courtyard and beyond the wide loggia is the formal dining room adorned by stained glass windows and fresco wall.

The formal entry with clear glass door is further enhanced by the elegant staircase to second and third levels. A sprawling formal living room displays a hand carved limestone fireplace mantel, coffered ceilings, arched wood doors to courtyard and waterfront terrace to endless bay views! Custom cabinetry surrounds the gourmet kitchen equipped with double gas stove, walk-in Arctic stainless steel wine cooler, wood paneled refrigerators, butler’s pantry, double sink counters, and granite island. An adjacent morning room flows into the family room which centers around a custom-built entertainment center opening to the lanai and patio.

The second level of this 6,977 square feet residence includes an oversized waterfront master suite with luxurious bath, double walk-in closets, Jacuzzi, private gym, and terrace. A private waterfront guest suite and two bedrooms with their own bath is also part of this level.

The sunny third floor level consists of large room with wood beamed ceilings, great for a private office, library and/or family room.

Other amenities include an elevator, state-of-art security system, staff room, two-car garage, scenic wood deck, dock and lift.
