Where Palm Beach Elegance Meets Island Serenity—Presenting a once-in-a-lifetime legacy estate, gracefully offered by its original owners. Masterfully designed by Dykema and Dykema Architects, this Mediterranean-inspired sanctuary sits on an extraordinary 169 feet of private waterfront, offering unobstructed panoramic views of Laguna Madre, the JFK Bridge, surrounding wetlands, and a vast canal. Every detail of this 4,000+ sq ft, four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath compound reflects timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Enchanting tropical gardens by Sean Christopher of C-Scapes—now reimagined by Billy Diaz of Southern Paradise Landscaping—embrace the residence with layered textures and serenity. Inside, curated finishes abound: hand-scraped white oak and travertine flooring, solid cedar beams, artisan-crafted cabinetry, and arched window entries clad in imported Cantera stone. Light pours through soaring ceilings, framing breathtaking water and sunset views from nearly every room. A central courtyard unveils a resort-style pool and spa, surrounded by over 1,700 sq ft of covered and open-air balconies—an exquisite setting for tranquil mornings or refined entertaining. The two-story guest house, two-car garage, and newly constructed moisture-shield boat landing complete this distinguished waterfront retreat. This is more than a home—it is an architectural symphony of elegance, privacy, and coastal grandeur. A rare opportunity to claim a truly iconic residence that embodies the very soul of island living.
