Thoughtfully laid out with an inviting primary suite on the main level and four en suite bedrooms on the second floor, the home features oversized windows and incredible sight lines that showcase beautiful views and abundant natural light throughout. Recently redesigned in 2020 by Klar and Klar Architects, the interior of more than 4,300 square feet boasts a chic harmony of contemporary and classic styles, with large format porcelain tile floors on the main level, a striking marble feature wall surrounding the gas fireplace, gorgeous light fixtures, crown molding, and coffered ceilings.

Setting the luxurious tone, double paneled oak doors open to a bright entrance foyer with direct views of the waterfront.

On the opposite side of the main level, past the central living space that opens to the elevated waterfront terrace, a chef’s kitchen overlooks picturesque canal views through hurricane impact glass sliding doors that fully recess. Premium Thermador appliances include double in-wall convection ovens, a built-in microwave, undercounter wine refrigerator, six-burner gas range, and a paneled double door refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen and breakfast nook, the dining area offers ample room to accommodate a table for eight, and a spacious family room is ideally situated to enjoy tv-watching from any perch. The open design of the first floor enables a seamless flow between living spaces and indoor-outdoor areas, ideal for both downtime and entertaining.

Upstairs, the large light-filled landing opens to an enormous secondary family room for additional tv and lounge seating, with fabulous views from an oversized window and terrace. Wood flooring throughout the second floor continues the home’s elevated design, with four en suite bedrooms luxuriously updated and echoing the elegance of the main level with tray ceilings, molding, and beautiful lighting. Two of the suites enjoy direct access to terraces that overlook the pool and waterfront.

Outside, a saltwater pool and spa are surrounded by a manicured tropical landscape, with dense palms offering privacy on either side of the home. The boat dock includes a 28,000 lb lift to accommodate a large vessel, as well as a lower platform for easily embarking on paddleboards or kayaks. Additional luxuries include a pool-side bathroom and another interior powder room, two-car garage with spacious storage, and – for ultimate convenience – an elevator that serves the garage and both living levels.
