Breathtaking Ocean to Intracoastal Estate
Jupiter Island,
United States
THE PUBLIC AREAS Occupying the entire width of the island, the property begins with a private gated brick drive shaded by lush tropical flora. The driveway curves gently toward an impressive courtyard before continuing on around the side of the house to a separate service court. The entry loggia, graced with Jerusalem limestone flooring, passes by the freestanding guest quarters to approach the main residence. Positioned to overlook the emerald lawn and a bubbling fountain that can also be used as a spa, the dining loggia is an elegant first taste of the luxury found within. French doors to the left open into the formal dining room, while directly ahead, the front door reveals the charming foyer. A chandelier, two large arched windows, and beamed wooden ceilings define this graceful entry. Dalle de Bourgogne limestone floors are found throughout the main-level public rooms, with the foyer also claiming a six-foot Tatiana mosaic medallion inlay. Ahead, the massive family room is the focal point of the floor plan, flanked by covered loggias facing the ocean and fountain. French doors can be almost entirely opened to both the sea and lawn to create a gloriously expansive indoor-outdoor feel. A chandelier and recessed lighting combined with tall beamed ceilings imparting an enormous sense of space. To one side of the family room, the professionally equipped chef?s kitchen is complemented by a sunny breakfast nook and a butler?s pantry that also accesses the dining room. On the opposite end of the family room are a home theater and a handsome library with herringbone-patterned walnut hardwood flooring. . . THE PRIVATE QUARTERS Accessed by either the elevator or a broad staircase positioned just off the foyer, the second floor is host to a total of four grandly scaled bedrooms, each with a private bath. The elevator opens directly to the resplendent master suite, which occupies a place of distinction with spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean. The master bedroom itself opens to a huge balcony overlooking the dunes and water. His and her walk-in closets and a large dressing room are a mere prelude to the stunning master bath with his and her vanities, a mosaic floor finish, and Canadian blue and ivory cream marble walls. Two additional bedroom suites are placed to either side of the stairway, while a third family bedroom is at the end of a separate hall beyond the spacious garden-facing sitting room. The entire home enjoys a 10-zone heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system for perfect comfort no matter the season. . . . . SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION Designed to meet the most rigorous safety and quality standards, the house was built with durability and worry-free living foremost in mind. Reinforced concrete construction was used, with augercast piles and cast-in-place concrete floors. The interior walls are made of abuse-resistant Fiberock panels for maximum lifespan and the prevention of mold and mildew. Clay barrel tile roofing and impact-resistant mahogany exterior doors and windows are finishes as functional as they are beautiful. A stormwater management system prevents flooding, while a sanitary sewer lift station and a connection to the Village of Tequesta water system ensure a constant supply of fresh water. Two 1,000-gallon underground LP gas storage tanks and a 125-kilowatt emergency generator provide peace of mind in case of emergencies. A Lutron low-voltage lighting control system is employed throughout for the most efficient use of power, and the entire estate is protected by a complete security, fire, and smoke-detection system. . . . .
