Description

Mediterranean architecture finds a fresh expression in this thoughtfully remodeled Palm Island waterfront residence, where gracious proportions meet a sophisticated eye for materials and detail. Set on one and a half lots, including an additional half-lot of lawn to the east, the property offers a generous island setting. Rich walnut, textured tile and carefully chosen finishes bring depth and individuality to the interiors, with distinctive touches that reward a closer look.Offering four bedrooms and three and a half baths, the home unfolds through arched passageways and light-filled spaces linked by travertine flooring throughout. A soaring two-story living room forms its architectural heart, framed by tall windows and a curved upper gallery with decorative ironwork. Nearby, a window-lined sitting room offers a quieter place to gather, with views of the surrounding tropical landscape.The remodeled kitchen balances cream cabinetry and pale, subtly veined countertops with the warmth of real walnut cabinetry, a sculptural walnut range hood and walnut-lined ceiling recesses. Patterned tile and globe pendants complete the composition, while a separate breakfast bar provides generous seating. A sunny breakfast nook brings the greenery into view. The adjacent beverage bar continues the thoughtful detailing with open wood shelving and a wave-textured backsplash.In the primary suite, an intricately coffered ceiling adds architectural dimension, while expansive windows and French doors opening to a private balcony connect the room to its waterfront setting. The adjoining bath features dual vanities, a freestanding tub and a separate shower.Outdoor living is equally compelling. Multiple balconies provide inviting spaces for dining and relaxing, overlooking a generous freeform pool and spa framed by palms and expansive paved terraces. Along the canal, private dockage includes two boat lifts with capacities of 8,000 and 33,000 pounds, both less than a year old. A sandy kayak launch offers another way to enjoy the water, with the Intracoastal Waterway just a few hundred feet away. For even more room to enjoy the outdoors, the adjacent lot to the west is available for separate purchase.An elevator, backup generator, impact windows and doors, and an on-demand propane water heater complement the home's design with everyday convenience. From its dramatic central living space to the intimate details of its renovation, this distinctive island residence brings architectural presence and a personal sensibility to waterfront living.
