One of Boca Raton’s most sensational Intracoastal estates is found in this recently built 1.62±-acre compound sprawling over one of the largest properties of the coveted 5th Avenue estate area. This quietly majestic British West Indies-inspired masterwork resides at the end of a meandering gated drive through a sumptuous tree-canopied landscape, seeming an escape to a faraway tropical island paradise.
At once grand and inviting, rich and refined, the seven-bedroom residence was ingeniously designed by Affiniti Architects to integrate elements of a vintage boathouse originally on the site, and to capitalize on tranquil vistas sweeping from 222± feet of deepwater frontage in a no-wake zone.
Gorgeous mahogany floors and fine millwork carry through the entire residence, which offers exceptional privacy in well-flowing wings, centered on a dramatic great room opening to a verandah cantilevered over the waterfront. Verandahs also connect the ground-floor spaces, including the glass-walled game room right by the boat slip, night-lit as an aquatic wonder of marine life. The separate guest house, exotic pool patio, and multi-yacht dockage complete the ultimate haven of resort luxury. Virtually impossible to duplicate, this phenomenal waterfront compound will meet all the requirements of those with a passion for entertaining, a demand for the finest, and a taste for the truly extraordinary.
