Location

Bridlewood Circle, Delray Beach, Florida. The prestigious gated Foxe Chase enclave is home to only 43 private one-acre estates surrounding a sparkling lake in lush seclusion amid stately oaks and palms. In the heart of South Florida’s Gold Coast between Boca Raton and Palm Beach, historic Delray Beach is a beautifully preserved oceanfront community offering award-winning beaches, fine shops, and gourmet restaurants.

Property

Unquestionably the premier setting in beautiful Fox Chase, this magnificent lakefront estate sits commandingly on a picturesque point at the head of the lake with long views down the water. Tropical tranquility pervades the property with stands of mature live oaks and palm trees in abundance. The winding brick paver drive leads to an ample guest parking area adjoining the 3-car garage. Directly on the spectacular lakeside point amid lush landscaping, the expansive resort-style pool is surrounded by a brick paver garden patio leading to the large private dock. A loggia with summer kitchen and bar serves this exquisite outdoor entertainment area secluded by private hedges to either side of the sweeping lawns.

Residence

This elegant lakeside residence takes every advantage of the enchanting surrounding scenery in a thoughtfully arranged floor-plan of 6,000± total square feet with 4 bedrooms, open-plan living areas, and 4½ baths. Approached from a garden walkway, a sheltered entry with leaded glass double doors ushers guests to the welcoming foyer finished with Saturnia marble flooring inlaid with a granite mosaic medallion. Directly ahead, the step-down vaulted great room encompasses formal living and dining areas in an open-concept entertaining space with crown moldings, wainscoting, and a wall of French doors opening to the lakeside loggia in luxuriant splendor. The open-plan family room, game room, and dine-in kitchen create an enormous informal living space styled with handsome oak floors and dramatic butted glass windows capturing breathtaking views across the pool to the lake. A coral stone fireplace and pool table highlight the game area, while the family area offers a large natural wood entertainment center. White-washed tongue-and-groove paneled ceilings accent the center-island kitchen. Opening to the lakefront grounds in a private wing off the foyer, the vaulted master suite features a walk-in closet and well-appointed master bath. A bookcase-lined library with private bath could also serve as an additional bedroom. The opposite wing contains 2 more bedroom suites each with private baths.
