Creating an inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining, this custom-built architect-designed estate also gives the yachter excellent dockage close to the inlet.

Classic style is redefined for today's way of living in this Mediterranean-inspired estate on the Lido Bay Canal, where the wide, deep waters give excellent dockage only about a mile from the Hillsboro Inlet in this yachter's paradise just off Lake Placid which meets the Intracoastal Waterway near the Lighthouse Point Marina.  Special attention to detail is shown in this six-bedroom residence designed by John D. Conway Architect and custom built in 2007.

Beautiful foliage graces the motor court, where the arched entry steps into the two-story foyer next to the grand turret-style staircase, giving an impressive introduction to the main living spaces in a fresh, light open atmosphere.  For effortless entertaining, the full-service sit-down wet bar is centrally placed to serve the waterside living room, lovely dining room, and waterside family room, open to the chef's kitchen for added ease.  This space opens its doors to the palm-studded terrace by the water's edge, where a loggia with summer kitchen is perfect for outdoor dining by the free-form pool and spa in this relaxing resort-like oasis.  The six bedrooms all have en-suite baths and feature exceptionally spacious master quarters enjoying a luxurious marble bath and a private balcony capturing a romantic tree-top view over the Lido Bay Canal in the lush tropical setting of this distinctive Lighthouse Point estate.
