The only new construction direct intracoastal home currently available for sale in the entire Palm Beach Estate Section. The only modern waterfront home currently for sale on all of Palm Beach Island, the hottest real estate market in the world. One of only two homes on all of Palm Beach Island with direct Intracoastal frontage and two docks on all of Palm Beach Island. 17,190 square feet of total indoor-outdoor living space. Includes $2,000,000 worth of personal property, furnishings, art, sculptures in the listing price. This property was recently in an extended contract, but is now available again for a small window.This resort-inspired getaway home, designed by award winning Roger Janssen of Dailey Janssen Architects, is named Lago-a-Lago or Lake to Lake,which aptly describes the property's uniqueness of having Intracoastal frontage on BOTH the front and backyards, each equipped with separate docks, the west dock being over 150' in length. Unlike most of the Palm Beach Laketrail, where the views stare into the abyss, these views across the wide intracoastals anchoring this home are that of the WPB Skyline and Yacht Marina on the west, and Worth Avenue and Everglades Golf Club to the north & east. The scale of the almost 1 acre, deep site, allowed for the design to accommodate a personal resort-inspired layout with separate suites and living spaces in a fragmented arrangement that weaves together indoor and outdoor spaces. The footprint of the home is built around a very large central courtyard, with pocketing Mahogany wood framed hurricane proof glass sliders from Hartman all the way through, creating a ''see-through'' effect, and allowing views thru both sides of the home to either the west or east Intracoastal Lake at the same time. There are gravel courtyards and other ornamental grasses, agave, and yucca spread throughout the grounds, opposed to cliche Palm Trees. Lots of different cohesive wood slats, ceilings, and veneers, create an environment which has almost a California feel to it, very unique for South Florida! Inside, a concept of discovery was implemented into this museum-quality finished resort by DKOR Interiors of Miami. For example, seamless, flush doors and master closets & bathrooms, hidden behind custom built-in millwork, add to the discovery concept. Attention to detail is evident throughout the modern, yet timeless, interior. There are no white walls anywhere in the home! Wood, marble, metal, leather, vinyl, semi-precious agate, and Gemstones are repeated in patterns accented by contouring and lighting. Interior and exterior Recessed LED lighting throughout the home imparts the tranquil and peaceful theme, and creates the perfect ambiance for a magical, come-to-life, evening entertainment mood.
