Designed in 1938 by the renowned Palm Beach architectural firm, Wyeth and King, known for the distinguished, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach – this 5,056 Sq. Ft. waterfront estate exudes grace and style.
Here, elegance and refinement exist in perfect harmony with the vibrant natural surroundings. Established bougainvillea, thick fern and grasses combine beautifully with manicured bushes, tropical plants, and swaying palms. The exquisite estate resides in a setting of bright blue skies, rich green tropical landscape, white sandy beaches, and sparkling aquamarine gulf water; an exceptional masterpiece of captivating design, impeccable mature landscape, and a rare gulf-front estate in historic Boca Grande.
A promenade of palms lead the way through the gated, long drive to the property which encompasses five bedroom, six luxurious full and two half bath.

Fend off the chilly nights comfortably, centered around one of several fire places throughout the well-appointed home. Through the large windows athwart the back of the house, the calm gulf water is reflected in the moonlight.
The guest wing and pool house provide coveted privacy and comfort for your guests while the single-level primary residence is a haven of luxury and repose.
