With radiant beauty, Villa Lumina sits like a jewel between the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway in the sought-after but rarely available estate section of Manalapan Beach. Newly completed, this showpiece estate culminates the masterful collaboration of talents by Carnegie Hill Development Corporation, The Benedict Group architects, and Dale Construction.
Here, all the amenities of a world-class resort style property combine in a sublime private realm reserved for its owners enjoyment. To the east, the sugar-sand beachfront is reached through a private tunnel, making this one of just six Manalapan properties having this remarkable feature. To the west, the Intracoastal frontage with yacht dock creates the backdrop for the resort-style pool patio, perfect for entertaining by day or evening, as the sun sets over the waterway.
The glorious vistas are showcased from terraces and balconies opening off all three luxurious living levels of the light-filled seven-bedroom residence. Gorgeous finishes of marble, onyx, Mexican shell-stone, and hardwood carry through the invitingly elegant rooms blending comfort and stylishness. Absolutely stunning in every aspect, Villa Lumina is an Ocean-to-Intracoastal masterpiece of irresistible allure.
