Boca Raton, FL 33432Unsurpassed attention to detail hallmarks this exquisite custom-built Royal Palm estate facing south on a wide canal, just one property from the Intracoastal Waterway.
Boca Raton’s prestigious Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club provides the setting for this showpiece estate facing south on the Fishtail Palm Waterway, where the expansive view reaches the Intracoastal, just one property away. Custom built for its current owner, the six-bedroom residence was designed by noted architect Shane Ames of Ames International Design, blending classically elegant European influences with modern taste. Embellished with a wealth of exquisite details by British-born designer and artist Grenville Pullen of Curzon Designs, the residence was featured in “Florida Design” magazine upon its completion. A monumental arch with intricate ironwork gates makes a grand entrance into the gorgeous garden courtyard that centers the floor-plan, giving an enchanting viewpoint and abundant natural light. Inside the breathtaking foyer, a butterfly staircase frames the waterfront view through the window-walled living room, a spectacular entertaining space adorned with trompe l’oeil painted detail. French doors open several first-floor rooms to the waterfront loggia, pool patio, and yacht dock in a resort-like ambiance. In addition to self-contained first-floor guest/staff quarters, there is a sumptuous waterfront master suite upstairs. Styled with finesse, this magnificent Royal Palm estate is a place of extraordinary beauty and special character.
