LOCATION 5 Coconut Lane, Ocean Ridge, Florida: One of the Gold Coast's best-kept secrets, Ocean Ridge is prized for its tranquility, relaxed ambiance, and unspoiled barrier island beauty nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. PROPERTY Inviting indoor/outdoor living and entertaining, the loggia, with a summer kitchen and automatic screens, overlooks the 20-by-40-foot saltwater heated pool with a spillover spa set within an expansive coquina patio in the beautifully landscaped hedged backyard. RESIDENCE Offering a luxurious seaside lifestyle just steps from Ocean Ridge's shoreline where white-crested aquamarine waves lap pristine sugar-sand beaches, this elegant architect-designed award-winning masterpiece, with five bedrooms and 7818 +/- total square feet, was beautifully designed in the Bermuda-Colonial style by renowned Randall Stofft. Abounding in attractive architectural details, they include a metal roof, shutters, gables and an arched entry portico topped by a balcony. Spacious interiors are highlighted by rich Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, handsome millwork, plantation shutters, and elevated ceiling heights well over ten feet. A gracious two-story reception area, with a beautiful floating stairway, introduces the formal dining room and living room, where the gas fireplace is flanked by built-in display cabinetry. The pool-view family room is open to both the loggia and the gourmet kitchen, which also connects to the dining room, butler's pantry and new 400-bottle temperature-controlled wine room. The cook-island kitchen, which the gourmet chef is sure to appreciate, is fitted with marble, soap-stone and tile finishes, custom Shaker-style cabinetry and high-end commercial-grade stainless appliances, while a breakfast counter accommodating pull-up seating makes service easy for casual entertaining and family living. Also overlooking the pool and gardens is the theatre/game room, with a full bar and a 'Control 4 Smart Home' audio/visual system that includes automatic black-out shades. The first-floor VIP guest suite, laundry room and powder room complete the downstairs layout. On the second floor, the primary suite, set apart via a double-door entry for privacy, features Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring, peaked tongue-and-groove ceiling, a pool-view balcony, custom-fitted closets and spa-inspired bathrooms, finished in marble, granite and tile. One of the suite's bathrooms is fitted with a steam shower while the other has a multi-head walk-in shower and spa tub. Also upstairs are two carpeted guest suites, one with a window seat and a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Completing the overall plan are an attached one-car garage that currently serves as an exercise studio, and a full guest apartment over the three-car garage. Ref: 36134-RX-10838509
