Constructed in 2004, this exquisite estate includes eight bedrooms, 10.5 baths and more than 12,000 square feet of lavish living. It is tucked on a north-facing, spacious .55-acre lot in the security-patrolled Seven Isles Neighborhood. With this location, the Intracoastal, Fort Lauderdale Beach, the cultural artery of Las Olas Boulevard are all within minutes. Approaching the estate, its outdoor areas parallel the perfection of the residence itself. With multiple gated entries and vast travertine-draped parking for the largest of gatherings, the home also has air-conditioned garage parking for six, and there is plenty of space for lifts. Exterior highlights include multiple rooftop terraces for taking in South Florida sunsets, intimate patio areas, a vast lawn for social gatherings, fireplace area, a full outdoor kitchen and Lanai. Can't-misses also included the saltwater pool, spa and quietly tinkling waterfalls nearby. And, in the back yard, it all has unparalleled vistas of the Intracoastal. For boating and yacht excursions, this residence is equipped with 200-foot straight-line, concrete dockage with three shore power pedestals. There are no fixed bridges and ocean access is just minutes south. The home itself is European-infused bliss at its finest, with exposed arches, stately columns, tile roofing and superb fountains comprising the vibe. Inside, an open masterpiece with the finest of touches awaits. On the principal level, note the one-of-a-kind paintings donning its ceilings (particularly the oval masterpiece in the dining room), the meticulously crafted gothic archways segueing between rooms, stone column accents, multiple cozy fireplaces, two elevators and deep wood features that make it all that much more refined.Core formal and casual living spaces include two family rooms; an executive office with deep brown built-ins, towering windows, and incredible tray ceilings; a media/bar room with floor-to-ceiling Intracoastal views and the vast kitchen. The true chef's kitchen is equipped with the finest stainless-steel appliances available, granite countertops, a massive central island, built-in television, and eat-in area. On the culinary front, the estate is equipped with a wine-room that can rival any cellar in and beyond Fort Lauderdale as well as a butler's pantry. Additional highlights include a theatre room with seating for seven, an extensive home gym with a built-in sauna and steam room, and six powder rooms.
