31 Jul Haute Property Alert
Broker and exclusive listing agent Sally Daley describes this home as, “Sophisticated, classic, timeless + elegant, yet imminently livable. The wide waters of the Atlantic Ocean are your most prominent neighbor!” A blend of luxury meets classic Palm Beach elegance, with each living space relating to each other; this estate is artfully designed to offer a rare merger of abundant natural light, formal and informal spaces, ease of flow + wide ocean views. The custom residence is a truly masterful merger of form with function. The unusually wide 1.20 acre lot offers a highly coveted 150′ of oceanfront, creating wide ocean views from nearly every room with absolute privacy.
Ms. Daley shares, “The residence looks and lives unlike others on the island because it was designed by world-renowned architect Errol M. Addels, who spent decades in Europe and the Middle East, designing for the Sultan of Oman, and at one point, had four kings as clients. He also designed the famed Watergate Hotel in Washington DC, and countless other private residences throughout his storied career. This residence in Vero Beach represents his second project and custom build with the homeowners.” Architect Errol Addels worked in conjunction with the homeowner on the interior design, and noted Vero builders Banov Architecture + Construction were the general contractors for the residence.
Constructed in 2016, and according to Ms. Daley, this residence is built to the most rigorous state code for storm surge and coastal construction requirements, with full masonry construction on both levels; set on pilings at finished elevation of 18.2′. The residence is 6,882 SF Under Air with 4 en suite Bedrooms; en suite Office, gym or upside down family room, 3 half baths, main + upper laundry rooms, two walk-in pantries, 3 car garage with oceanfront pool, lanai and gardens with fountains.
Other notable features in the residence are an auto-close, walnut paneled elevator, and a glass walled conservatory with handsome built-ins + sweeping views, which many of Vero Beach’s elite have declared to be ‘the prettiest room’ in all of Vero Beach.
Ms. Daley, a long standing luxury broker in Vero Beach, feels the standout selling feature of the property is the rare, estate size 1.20 acre lot — with an even more unusual 150′ ocean frontage. Standard ocean lots in Vero would be 100′ thus offering the residents of this home far more rooms with views — and privacy — than other Vero oceanfront homes. She loves the artful connection from room to room, thanks to the elegant front gallery that runs across the front of the house — offering both ease of flow and connection with definition of space. She declares it to be “the masterful fusion of form, function, light and views!” She also loves the wall to wall built-ins in the conservatory that offer smart storage, and integrated entertaining elements like a refrigerator and sink, enabling its lucky occupants to never have to leave this fabulous, one-of-a-kind space. ~LHM
