MAGNIFICENT ESTATE WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS 

Hillsboro Shores is an exclusive, rarely available oceanfront hamlet of Pompano Beach prized for its quiet privacy, unspoiled charm, and relaxed lifestyle. The community features its own exquisite, private access sandy beach. One of the area best kept secrets, Hillsboro Shores lies just minutes from Fort Lauderdale in a central location between Palm Beach and Miami, placing a host of Gold Coast attractions within easy reach.

The recent completion of a major reconstruction and expansion presents this direct oceanfront Pompano Beach estate as a luxurious residence of extraordinary character. Magnificent ocean views are the focus of most major rooms. In the gated courtyard entry beyond the gated circular drive, a waterfall feature spilling into the jetted free-form pool sets the tone of this strikingly elegant Mediterranean villa. Large windows span the oceanfront facade, with glass doors opening to a full-length patio, stepping down to a gated beach entry along 76 feet of ocean frontage.

Traditional methods of craftsmanship are elevated to the height of sophisticated style in this spacious residence totaling 6,071 square feet with four bedrooms, four and a half baths, elevator, laundry areas on both levels, and three bay garages. Hand plastered textured walls, custom moldings; honed Jerusalem gold limestone floors, Baldwin hardware, and impact glass are featured throughout. Deep crown moldings frame volume ceilings of ten foot on the main level and nine-eleven foot upstairs.

An integrated audio system with built-in speakers serves all main living areas plus the master suite. First floor: entered through double doors, the foyer flows into the formal living room, centered on a double-sided gas fireplace set off by an elaborate marble mantelpiece. Entered through a barrel-vaulted gallery, the family room shares the double fireplace, here framed in granite with a wood mantelpiece, with floor-to-ceiling built-ins to both sides.

A Pecky cypress ceiling gives the formal dining room a gracious, warm ambiance in the backdrop of lovely courtyard views. The gourmet kitchen offers high-end appliances including a six burner gas cook-top. Ocean views open through the breakfast area which leads to the beachside patio. A powder room and private bedroom suite are also located on this level.

Second floor: opening to a romantic balcony overlooking the ocean and lagoon, the elegant master suite features an airy bedroom with triple crown moldings and a comfortable sitting room with coffered ceiling. Two walk-in closets are accompanied by the lavish Venetian-plastered onyx-and-marble bath with spa tub and multi-spray steam shower. Two more bedroom suites with private balconies complete this exceptional Pompano Beach residence.
