Inside a Palm Beach Oasis

Enduring Mediterranean-inspired style; bright, streamlined modern interiors; and an ideal location mere moments from the landmarks and sunny shoreline of Palm Beach make this spacious townhome a veritable paradise of one’s own.

When business tycoon Henry Flagler first visited Palm Beach in 1893, he purportedly proclaimed it a “veritable paradise.” In the ensuing few years, he enlisted workers to help construct a number of hotels, many still standing as landmarks of the island’s architectural history and Golden Age grandeur. Perhaps the most notable of these, the Breakers—with its Renaissance Revival silhouette and emerald golf courses—is mere blocks from this sophisticated townhome, which bears many of the aesthetic markers of Palm Beach’s iconic traditional style. The shimmering sands of the beach are also a short stroll away, cementing the property’s status as a stylish oasis in an ideal location for appreciating the glamorous lore of Palm Beach.

Enduring classicism and Mediterranean inspiration are on regal display here, even from the impeccably maintained sidewalks of the lovely tree-lined street. Beyond impeccably manicured hedges and an elegantly elaborate iron gate, a stately paver drive and walkway introduce the townhome’s timeless barrel-tiled roof, creamy white stucco, and ornate plaster and iron work.

The interiors, however—which span a generous 5,210 square feet—are sleek, streamlined, bright, and modern, with soaring ceilings and walls that virtually beg for art. Classical touches still make cameos: iron stair and balcony railings, stately stone tile floors, columns, and vaulted arches. In a uniquely fluid floor plan, living, dining, and entertaining spaces as well as a kitchen with a wraparound breakfast bar and stainless-steel appliances occupy their own open alcoves that are linked by an interior gallery of dramatic arches and French doors opening to the sunny outdoors.

One of four bedrooms, the serene owner’s suite features French doors giving way to a balcony, a stylish adjoining sitting room or library, a chic bath with an eye-catching shower and a contemporary soaking tub, and two walk-in closets—one with boutique-worthy shoe shelving. Each of the restful guest bedrooms is accompanied by its own en suite bath as well. Other highlights include a relaxed media room and an office loft with built-in bookshelves.

Just outside the home’s main level are a poolside loggia with space for lounging and dining and a nearby grilling area. The backyard resembles a tropical oasis, with lush lawn, towering palm trees, flourishing native flora, and a refreshing pool accented with colorful Old World tile. Outside these walls and elegant gates are all the allures of Palm Beach—shops, sights, and seashore—making this a veritable paradise of one’s own.
