South Florida’s grand tradition endures in the estate section of Boca Raton, a prestigious beachside enclave of stately waterfront homes in the timeless ambiance of a tropical oasis. One of the newest homes of this premier locale pays homage to the past in an elegant Tuscan-inspired villa, surrounded by the tranquility of lush gardens on the Intracoastal Waterway of Boca Raton. Noted Boca Raton architect Rex Nichols and builder David A. Farrow joined forces to create this exquisite jewel, a perfection of Old World design and craftsmanship.

Greeting guests with a classic courtyard entry, the five-bedroom residence flows flawlessly to host gracious entertaining and capture the beauty of the glistening waterway and colorful tropical gardens. At the heart of the house, the 2-story salon combines elegant formality with the inviting warmth of gleaming Fontainebleau-patterned hardwood floors and an intricately carved stone fireplace.

Just outside, a spectacular infinity pool with jetting fountains serves as the centerpiece for alfresco entertaining on the waterfront. Throughout this magnificent estate, the most advanced engineering features meet the latest hurricane standards, and state-of-the-art technologies, unobtrusively incorporated, ensure the most discerning requirements of luxury.
