THE ART OF WATERFRONT LIVING 

The art of waterfront living is epitomized in this stunning masterpiece within the exclusive boating community of Seven Isles.

Offering the ultimate waterfront retreat in a boater’s paradise, this inspired masterwork was created by internationally acclaimed Boca Raton architect Don Yoshino of Yoshino Architects and YT Design Group, and is infused with innovative sensibilities and cutting-edge South Florida style. Strikingly set in the tropical landscape, this dramatic domain orchestrates an intriguing interplay of sculptural forms, rich textures, and splashes of bold color while seamlessly integrating unparalleled comforts and conveniences.

Exotic ipe wood and Turkish limestone are lavished throughout the interior, set off by accents of vermilion leather and shimmering stainless steel. Relaxed living and memorable social events are equally at ease in a luxurious environment accessorized with elegant furnishings. Artistic design elements include the leather-and-stainless-steel fireplace, the curvaceous staircase, the bar’s fiber-optic-lit onyx sculpture, and the zero-edge fountained pool along the waterfront. Dramatic ipe wood decks jut across the shoreline’s deepwater dock which offers direct ocean access. A rare opportunity for the discerning waterfront purchaser, this is a sophisticated home for the 21st century and a true work of art.
