The sellers designed this house to capture the Floridian feel but with a Mediterranean flair. From the front you will enter through custom etched glass double doors into a masterfully crafted foyer with soaring 20' ceilings and a gorgeous, curved staircase wrapped in a locally sourced hand-made metal railing, built and delivered in one piece. To your right is a formal living room with white carpet that was specially cut with a pattern designed to complement the etched entry doors. The flooring downstairs is imported Spanish tile laid on the diagonal and in the foyer there is a beautiful octagon shaped marble inlaid pattern below an elegant custom chandelier. CONTINUED... The flooring switches to light colored hardwood as you ascend the stairs and the wood continues throughout the 2nd floor landing which opens up to the 4 bedrooms and second floor living room.

Downstairs you will find 2 large offices both with glass French doors that could be utilized as additional guest rooms. Large closets can be found in virtually every room and an additional huge storage closet is located below the stairs. All closets have California-like built ins for additional function and form.

As you go into the back of the house you will be faced with a stunning view of the Halifax River, and a spectacle of sunsets every day of the year.
The massive open concept family/dining/kitchen area faces the river to the west and the pool to the south and is surrounded by French doors on each side.
The kitchen features an island with the cooktop, custom made cabinets with a special glaze by a Canadian firm and bar stools with seating for 5. Opening the French doors that lead to the pool will enlarge the living area and provide for pleasant outside dining or will just allow you to enjoy the Florida weather.
The pool enclosure is supported by columns built with concrete from bottom to the top and the heated pool is complemented with a hot tub, fiber optic lighting, a beautiful tile deck, and has access to a private pool bathroom with shower. With the pool offset to the south, you will enjoy the benefits of a screen enclosure all while relishing in unobstructed river views from the back of the house.
The 3-car garage with 10' ceilings is connected to the house by a nook in the pool area and provides access to an additional pool room and a storage area.
The back of the house offers 2 patios overlooking the river, one on the main level and a screened porch on the second level that is accessed from the master bedroom or second floor living room. Both offer spectacular settings for relaxation and a glass of wine in the evening. The newer dock with matching 50-year tile roof enhances the river experience and provides a lift for a large boat. The seawall, reconditioned last year, allows for full use of the backyard right up to the Intracoastal River.

Going upstairs provides a different perspective to the house overlooking the foyer in the backdrop of the Halifax River. The electric dumb waiter servicing the upstairs from the kitchen is a nice feature when entertaining on the second floor. The rooms on the second floor do not lack in scale as each are oversized and offer 10' ceilings.
The master bedroom has a reading area with a view of the river and beautiful custom cabinets along with shower and jacuzzi tub and his and her closets. The second floor living room, with gas fireplace, could be a perfect game room for the kids or just an informal place for the family to gather.
The house features many upgrades including concrete block construction from floor to roof (many "block" homes are only block on the first floor and have wood frame construction on the second floor). AT&T fire/security control system. Block privacy walls on both sides of property. 2 gas fireplaces (one on each floor). Upgraded paver driveway. Rain bird irrigation system. In-home stereo/inter-com system. Beautiful 6" crown molding throughout common areas. IZZI clawfoot tub in one of the guest bathrooms. Wine cellar below stairs with hand-painted mural.
