December 9, 2020UncategorizedFeatures, hp, Real Estate, Uncoveredadmin

Far from the maddening crowd but close enough to life’s necessities, lies a piece of paradise you can call home. Ocean views are endless here, as are scenes of gentle manatees, playful dolphins and an array of colorful birds. Commanding two oceanfront lots in the Florida Keys city of Marathon, this estate is strategically positioned in a setting that defies comparison.

Location is key to the property’s vantage point, which capitalizes on spectacular 340-degree views of clear turquoise water. A deep-water dock that can accommodate a 110-foot yacht is situated on the channel side affording direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, where some of the best fishing in the world can be found. Water enthusiasts can enjoy snorkeling, paddleboarding or kayaking, while landlubbers relax on your private 300-foot stretch of white sandy beach. A private airport is less than 10 minutes away and there are a variety of dining and shopping amenities available on Marathon.

According to the homeowner, Mark Pieloch, the property offers the ideal opportunity to unwind and enjoy a “Margaritaville lifestyle.” Pavered paths encircle the home and lead to an infinity-edge swimming pool spanning 200 feet in length and featuring three waterfalls amid lush tropical foliage.

Incomparable stone and brick estate on the east side of St. Charles! Tucked back and private – you won’t believe that you have found over five acres of wooded seclusion on city water and sewer. Over 8,300 sq. ft. above grade with a full finished extra deep pour English basement. Incredible millwork and construction details throughout: oversized crown mouldings, natural wood beams, 8-ft. interior doors (first floor).

Huge walk-in pantry. Five bedroom suites, all with private baths. Very private executive office with fireplace and incredible views of the wooded grounds. Her office located off he kitchen with beautiful cabinetry.

Experience family movie night in the Theater (can seat 14) with tiered floor. Plenty of room for entertaining in this house as it has a huge 1,200 sq. ft. bonus room on fourth level with a private bath, along with the other two family room areas. Outdoor entertaining by the saltwater pool with new filter (2020), new heater (2019), Pool House, Hot Tub area, fire table and multiple patios.

Rare is the opportunity to own a slice of paradise. Rarer still, is the chance to own a property recognized as the third-largest oceanfront compound in all of Palm Beach County. Imagine watching the sun rise over the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean from an estate that spans 520 feet of private sandy beach and encompasses more nearly 8 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds.

The dream becomes reality with an offering that is so exceptional, mere words cannot adequately describe the sheer artistry and magnificent craftsmanship it reflects. Designed to capitalize on its enviable backdrop, the 15, 514-square-foot plan combines panoramic ocean vistas with unique architectural elements and the finest finishes and fixtures. Rest assured no expense was spared, nor any detail left untouched in the creation of this waterfront masterpiece.

Tucked away within a 24-hour guard-gated community, the nearly eight-acre estate is also gated, providing a setting that is private and secure for the discerning individual. An ideal venue for large-scale entertaining, the property is a tropical oasis where lush, colorful foliage surrounds an expansive outdoor terrace, swimming pool with waterfall and spa, tennis court and a covered lanai with stone fireplace.

Rolling green lawns, lush wooded surroundings and colorful gardens provide an idyllic setting for this outstanding estate enviably situated in one of Brentwood’s most desirable gated communities: Hampton Reserve. Designed to meet the owner’s exacting specifications, the elegant manse is a showplace for entertaining as well as the ultimate venue for endless hours of family fun.

Presiding over a 1.6-acre cul-de-sac lot, the sprawling 15,379-square-foot plan has been meticulously designed to reflect superior workmanship and the finest selection of finishes throughout. Beyond its hand-hewn limestone façade are interior spaces of timeless elegance. A grand entry hall welcomes guests with stately columns, a limestone fireplace and soaring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grounds.

Complementing formal living and dining areas is an expansive family room, which opens to an incomparable outdoor scene. The private resort-style atmosphere includes a swimming pool with waterfall, slide and swim-up bar, a series of stone porches, infrared heaters, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, changing cabana and strategically placed lights for sunset soirees.

The Best Luxury Lighting for Your Mansion

July 23, 2020UncategorizedReal Estateadmin

Designed to elevate the high-end finishes and furnishings of your mansion, luxury lighting completes the space by distributing light and casting shadows that frame the room. New lighting methods not only provide function by illuminating the home, they also contribute visual interest and, in cases such as the works of art below, are the focal point and the wow-factor that will leave guests breathless.

Luxury lighting designers bring an artful eye to the category by experimenting with materials and production methods to formulate the perfect piece. Elements of sculpture, motion, lightness and shadow are manipulated to transform spaces. Masterly designed and meticulously crafted fixtures are the culmination of art and design with a component of luxury that results in the awe-inspiring luxury lighting to follow.

Epoque is a light sculpture designed to study chiaroscuro and volumes. The result is a modern expression of these renaissance-era techniques in a stunning chandelier. Composed of curved, organic lines, Epoque’s frame is made of flexible and durable brass metal, suspended by nickel metal chains. Two bands of metal, a central elongated section and an external band of wide arcs, allows the light to envelop a room in reflections of soft light. Epoque has attracted attention from those in the design community with discerning tastes. Epoque is available in nickel, black nickel, bronze and gold finish. Design Stefano Papi & Saviz Yaghmai.
