Property
The exquisite ambiance of the Mediterranean can be found at this exclusive Delray Beach address, only a block from this seaside village’s famed oceanfront. A dramatic welcome is made as you approach this magnificent estate, from the two-story turret that anchors the facade to the intricately patterned tiling adorning the arched entry and wall fountain on the opposite side of the pavered motor court. A separate pavered driveway leads to the three-bay garage. And those seeking an extraordinary oasis will find just that along the 112 feet of prime protected waterfront lined by a full-service dock. Fountains and loggias frame the beautifully landscaped patio and Malibu-tiled pool, transporting you to a state of luxurious tranquility.

Residence
The exceptional thoughtfulness of the interior of this home is apparent from the moment you walk through the arched wood front door. What awaits beyond the foyer is one intricate detail after another, found throughout the living area of 7,500 plus square feet of this Mediterranean-styled residence, with six bedrooms, six full baths and two half baths. In fact, great care was taken by the current owners to create a showplace imbued with the ambiance of yesteryear. A passionate love of tiles enriches the home, each chosen as individual works of art to create grand masterpieces throughout.

First floor: from the front entryway, arches, elaborately carved columns, generous moldings, stone floors and a Pecky Cypress ceiling frame views of the richly adorned living room and the sparkling pool beyond. A curved staircase with iron balustrades winds its way up a turret crowned by a hand-painted ceiling resembling a Vatican masterpiece. Off this expansive main room is a library with elaborately handcrafted bookcases and cabinetry, a private office with en-suite bath, wine room and dining room. Moving through a corridor graced by arched ceilings takes you to the sprawling kitchen, adorned with customized furniture-grade cabinetry and professional-grade appliances that include two built-in refrigerator-freezers. A handcrafted ironwork chandelier looms over the center island, while hand-painted tiles adorn the backsplashes. The adjoining family room offers a dining area, detailed millwork ceiling and a back staircase set with Malibu tiles.

Second floor: oversized arched wooden doors provide entry into the expansive master suite. Replete with sumptuous details, this private sanctuary opens to a loggia overlooking the dramatic pool and waterfront below and features a ceiling with custom millwork, wood planked floors, oversized his and her walk-in closets, and a separate sitting area or fitness room. A spacious bathroom offers a decidedly Moorish atmosphere, with a glass enclosed shower and separate steam shower, an antique-style soaking tub and water closet. Four other bedrooms offer elaborately furnished en-suite bathrooms, with an expansive common space ideally suited as a playroom or second level family room.
