Description

Behold a rare and unparalleled opportunity in a world-class destination to own a waterfront property of pristine palatial magnificence, resplendent with old world charm and sophistication yet brimming with exceptional modern luxury, conveniences and style. A cherished landmark property in the prized St. Armands division of John Ringling Estates on St. Armands Key, where its prime positioning for privacy and seclusion is complemented by more than 300’ of gorgeous wraparound water frontage and over 11,000 sq. ft. of opulent and painstakingly crafted and designed living space that truly transcends the extraordinary. Wrought iron gates open to unfold the sumptuousness beyond, enhanced by manicured landscaping, and a stately limestone walkway leading to the soaring façade. Through the mahogany front door and into the foyer, the extravagant drama flourishes and comes alive, enhanced by breathtaking architectural details and illuminated by the glow of natural light through clerestory windows and walls of glass showcasing the water views. The list of indulgent features is unmatched and includes a 2,000-bottle wine vault, home theatre, game room, vivid wood floors, separate accommodations for staff, a majestically furnished and designed kitchen plus a fully equipped catering kitchen, and a voluminous and ultra-luxuriant master suite of 1,700+/- sq. ft. offering the pinnacle of lavish living and connection to the outdoors. Terraces on all levels overlook the sparkling waters and open pool area, graced with flowing waterfalls and an infinity edge. Start your nautical adventures from the protected, pre-wired dock, which can accommodate a vessel up to 70’ with a maximum 6’ draft. Savor the ultimate in tropically elegant living, just steps away from shopping and dining on St. Armands Circle and moments to beautiful Lido Beach.
