Gulf Stream

An über-private, gated Mediterranean-style estate on a cul-de-sac in Palm Beach County, this five-bedroom, six bath home on Driftwood Landing in Gulf Stream, Florida was recently reduced by 25 percent and is now below its current appraisal. A waterfront 10-room beauty measuring approximately 6,224 square feet (with whitewashed oak and tumbled marble floors throughout), it sits on nearly an acre of land surrounded by a nature preserve and 215 feet of deepwater frontage along the Intracoastal Waterway.

 

With all the major rooms facing the waterway and natural preserve, the enormous eat-in kitchen with an adjacent butler's pantry and laundry overlooks the family room, which has temperature-controlled wine storage.

 

Inside the kitchen, you'll find stunning custom cabinetry (some are glass-fronted) and expansive granite countertops. Appliances are by Sub-Zero. The formal dining room is accessed through French doors and the nearby library is richly paneled.

 

The first-floor master suite has its own gas fireplace and its ensuite master bath is done up in marble. The spa-like bathroom features a separate glass shower stall, a Jacuzzi tub and a double-sink vanity. The suite's French doors open to the pool, spa and water. A one-bedroom guest suite with a Pecky Cypress wood ceiling has a private entrance as well as a private patio overlooking the pool and beyond.

 

Outside, there's a large swimming pool and adjacent hot tub, an orchid house and a lovely dining and entertainment pavilion with a summer kitchen, close to the water's edge. The deepwater dock is perfect for parking the family yacht. Priced at $3.595 million.
