Minutes from the beach and the Intracoastal Waterway, this meticulously renovated midcentury villa honors its history and locale while offering a novel, chic approach to the elegance and luxury of Palm Beach.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Taking inspiration from Mediterranean and Spanish-influenced California architecture while holding true to the inspiration and singular style of Palm Beach, this enchanting midcentury home<\/a> \u2014 meticulously maintained and renovated\u2014exemplifies a novel approach to the elegance and luxury for which its environs are known the world over.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Palm Beach, Florida<\/a>\u00a0| Patricia Mahaney<\/a>, Sotheby\u2019s International Realty \u2013 Palm Beach Brokerage<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

With its warm barrel roof tiles, arched windows, ornate ironwork, colorful vining flora, and cool white walls, the home\u2019s fa\u00e7ade is a refreshing gem amid glorious blue sky and flourishing greenery. These Old World stylings belie interiors that are soothingly minimalist and chic in a modern fashion, with high vaulted ceilings, exposed ceiling beams, and blond white-oak hardwood floors. The overall ambience is one of natural lightness, conjuring thoughts of clouds, sky, sand, seafoam, and driftwood. Plentiful windows and banks of glass create a sense of easy interplay with the outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The heart of the home is a great room anchored by a sculptural central fireplace. On one side is a spacious, chic living area, while on the other is a bright, sophisticated dining area with buffet built into a sunny window and sliding glass doors giving way to the backyard and pool. The back of the fireplace offers an ideal spot to display art. A trio of graceful archways leads from the more formal living area to an open, relaxed family and media room that wraps around the pool and terrace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Steps away is a kitchen that is both charming and streamlined, with surfaces of wood and marble,\u00a0 an island, contemporary open shelving, stainless-steel appliances\u2014including a Bosch dishwasher and a dual-oven Wolf range\u2014and a discreet panel-front Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. The delightful breakfast area includes built-in seating and a bar while also opening to the poolside loggia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The primary suite is a luxurious oasis suffused with soign\u00e9 natural hues. Contributing to the unique appeal are a de rigueur pecky cypress ceiling, a well-outfitted walk-in closet, and a wall of glass that creates a nearly invisible boundary between the interiors and the verdant surroundings. Clad in eye-catching marble, the luxurious bath includes a spacious glass-walled shower and a soaking tub. The three guest bedrooms include one suite wrapped in built-in shelving and windows and accompanied by a lavish bath and a private balcony trimmed with decorative wrought iron and floored in vivid whimsical artificial turf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Life in Palm Beach is much about spending time outdoors. This residence creates alfresco allure with a Saltillo-tile verandah with classical columns, a modern striped awning creating maximum shade, and an open-air kitchen and grilling area. Within the property\u2019s walls\u2014ornamented by a diamond-pattern espalier\u2014are a refreshing lap pool and a sun-washed stone terrace. Thriving vines, towering palms, and a stalwart \u201cgrandfather\u201c mango tree create an impressive emerald environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The home\u2019s impact-resistant windows and doors and a whole-house generator provide peace of mind no matter the season. The North End address is ideal for living the quintessential Palm Beach lifestyle: it is steps from the Intracoastal Waterway, with all its aquatic diversions, and mere minutes from the surf and sand of a breezy Atlantic beach.<\/p>\n
