Tucked away along the alluring sands of Gulf Stream’s exclusive oceanfront, this elegant estate is warmly inviting and splendidly serene.
A hidden gem is found in Gulf Stream, a picturesque seaside hamlet that maintains the tranquility of Old Florida yet is close to all the world-class attractions of Boca Raton and Palm Beach in a premier Gold Coast locale, just north of historic Delray Beach. Gulf Stream’s pristine oceanfront is enjoyed to the fullest in this graciously elegant and lushly secluded estate on magnificent North Ocean Boulevard near the Gulf Stream Golf Club.
Resting at the end of a winding, tree-lined drive, the spacious five-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully planned to flow beautifully and to showcase paradisiacal views of the vivid blue ocean and luxuriant tropical greenery. Outdoor living areas transition from the exquisite courtyard pool to the delightful oceanside terrace. From here, a walkway crosses the lawns and wide dunes leading onto the sands, where there is even a charming tiki hut as a focal point for beachside gatherings. Whether for an idyllic private escape or for partaking in all the surrounding area has to offer, this is the perfect oceanfront haven.
