Bridlewood Circle, Delray Beach, Florida. Securely set behind majestic wrought iron gates, the sought-after Foxe Chase enclave is home to only 43 private one-acre estates surrounding an exquisite lake and dramatic rock waterfall in serene park-like seclusion amid stately oaks and towering palms. Gold Coast beaches lie minutes away, and a host of fine shops and gourmet restaurants are also close by.

One of Foxe Chase's premier lakefront settings gives this dramatic European-inspired estate spectacular lake and waterfall views in a heavily treed setting brimming with live oaks, palm trees, and flowering tropical foliage. A fountained circular motor court adds to the immensely impressive ambiance. In a stunning backdrop overlooking the lake to the waterfall, outdoor entertaining is hosted with a full-length loggia, sun-splashed pool, and large poolside gazebo housing a summer kitchen, full cabana bath, and storage room.

Distinguished by grand-scale spaces and elegantly refined detailing, this stately residence encompasses 8,900 +/- total square feet including 5 bedrooms plus office and 7-1/2 baths. A covered walkway connects to the oversized 3-bay garage. Beautiful Saturnia marble floors unify the main living areas, and many first-floor rooms flow through 10-foot-high sliding glass doors to the lakeside loggia and pool patio.

First Floor: At the soaring arched entry, magnificently embellished hammered copper doors introduce the grand double-height foyer composed with Saturnia flooring, a double-tray ceiling, winding staircase and massive hand-carved mirror. Dramatic views of the pool and lake unfold through the 2-story living room's 10-foot sliding glass doors, reflected by a mirrored accent wall. In the formal dining room, a columned entry, double-tray ceilings, and plantation shutters set the stage for elegant evenings. Features of the fully equipped kitchen include custom cabinetry, granite counters, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, an enormous island, and a desk area. The beautiful pool, lake, and waterfall are viewed through the open 2-story family room, dramatized by a corner fireplace. Just beyond are a powder room, laundry room, and guest suite. Off the foyer, the handsome office is finished with hardwood floors, marble-topped built-ins, and plantation shutters. A private double-door entry presents the expansive master suite featuring double-tray ceilings, poolside sliding glass doors, 2 large walk-in closets, and his-and-her baths - hers finished in onyx and granite.

Second Floor: Three more bedroom suites enjoy breathtaking garden and lakeside scenery.
