Quiet Old World majesty fills this stunning waterfront estate in a privately walled and gated resort-like setting on one of Lighthouse Point’s finest isles.
Location
Northeast 25th Street, Lighthouse Point, Florida. Centrally located between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, Lighthouse Point is a graciously relaxed Gold Coast community nestled on the Intracoastal Waterway, where the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse stands sentry over the Hillsboro Inlet. Fronting some 18 miles of tranquil waterways, Lighthouse Point maintains its scenic landscape amid winding tree-lined streets and numerous parks. Enhancing the quiet seclusion, the main entrances of the community are served by police-monitored security cameras. Lighthouse Point is home to the nationally renowned private-membership Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club.
Property
A waterfront estate truly unlike any other is found in this walled and gated domain on a prestigious isle, overlooking the beautiful Omohundro Waterway. Built in 2003, this impressive residence has been stunningly customized as a quietly majestic castello blending Old World elegance and modern luxury. At once regal and warmly inviting, this is a magnificent showplace for entertaining. In a resort-like tropical setting overlooking the waterway, the gracefully sculpted pool is complete with fountains, a beach ledge, and spillover spa with AquaLink controls. A full summer kitchen serves the pool patio. Spanned by an extended deck area, the 100+/- foot shoreline gives the avid boater superb dockage, well sheltered yet in close proximity to the marina, Intracoastal Waterway, and Atlantic Ocean.
