July/August: Letter from Palm Beach: Beach and Tunnel Crowd

This EXCEPTIONAL 1939 home has just been dazzlingly updated by architect Pat Segraves. Natural light pours in from tall windows and a mature tropical landscape anchored by an amazing mango tree comes into view the moment you open the door. Sited on a prime North End block with a neighborhood beach terrace at one end and Lake Trail access at the other, this 4BR/4BA Bermuda style house is casual family beach living at its best! Airy vaulted beamed ceilings, sliding glass doors that open on to a 25′ pool, a brand new eat-in kitchen off of a lovely breakfast garden and a new cypress-paneled family room that could easily be converted to a downstairs primary bedroom suite, complete with its own terrace shaded by a louvered pergola. 12,600 sqft lot. The thorough renovation includes new roof, impact windows, air conditioning and electrical systems while preserving the home’s charming original details.

Classic Palm Beach Regency home, designed in 1959 by Henry Harding, on a very generous 16,500+ sqft estate section lot. Meticulously renovated and maintained with full impact glass, a new two car garage and wine storage topped by a guest/staff quarters apartment. The home features 11-12′ ceilings, multiple spaces for entertaining and guests, and as many as 5 bedrooms with en suite baths depending on a buyer’s needs. First floor primary bedroom features his/her baths and closets. And the oversized lot allows room for a gracious auto forecourt, large pool and airy backyard.

Heaven on the El Cid waterfront. Impeccable 2020 new construction with exquisite attention to detail, every modern luxury and unimpeded water views from 1st and 2nd floors. On an almost 19,000 foot corner lot-beautifully landscaped by Nievera Williams-the house is an elegant contemporary take on classic Palm Beach architecture with iron-look windows, handmade Mexican roof tiles and waxed plaster walls. Downstairs master bedroom with water views, generous closets and bath. Two upstairs bedrooms and baths with an inviting shared terrace can be reached by stair or elevator. In the front yard, a 52′, two lane lap pool sits off the electric screened terrace. To the rear is a guest house/gym/office with full bath. And the 3 bay garage fitted with 2 lifts can accommodate up to 5 cars. See Home Features in Documents. Literally too many to list.
