Originally created by Frankel Homes, designed by Carlos Martin Architects and ornamented by Marc-Michaels with the finest of materials and superlative craftsmanship, features include rich bleached-oak and polished Storm-marble flooring, tasteful moldings and refined finishes and wall coverings that combine to make this impeccable estate nothing less than sensational. A nod to classical architectural elements, three sets of arched French doors open to the colonnaded entry gallery introducing the grand salon. Here, the King Wood-marble-encased fireplace is a dramatic work of art, and the adjoining dining area is also stunning, with a striking ribbon accent wall as its backdrop. This formal entertaining area flows out to a mirror-image rear gallery where a second bank of arched French doors access the Intracoastal-view lanai. Flanked by the great room and clubroom, these areas also access the lanai and pool area offering Intracoastal views. The gourmet island kitchen, open to the great room, is fitted with custom cabinetry, Calcutta Gold marble counters and backsplashes, professional-grade stainless-steel appliances, and a butler’s pantry. The paneled clubroom, topped by a coffered ceiling and featuring custom built-in cabinetry, seamlessly adjoins the lounge with a fully-equipped wet bar. A graceful curvilinear stairway ascends to the loft sitting area where French doors access the Intracoastal-view balcony with a fireplace. The primary suite, a sanctuary inviting quiet repose, presides over one wing, with the spacious primary bedroom highlighted by plush upholstered walls, a Palladio-marble-slab-faced fireplace and  sets of French doors that open to a private Intracoastal-view balcony. The suite also comprises large custom-fitted walk-in closets, a morning bar, and dual exquisitely appointed bathrooms, one finished in Calcutta Gold marble, and the other, an opulent curvilinear space, finished in white Thasos and Storm marble. In the opposite wing, the VIP guest suite is equally sumptuous. The bedroom, accented by ebony-wood paneling, has French doors that open to a private Intracoastal-view balcony, and the suite comprises a lavish bathroom and custom-fitted walk-in closet. Of the additional three guest bedroom suites, one currently serves as a gym with French doors that lead to a sunrise balcony.
