LOCATION 3224 North Ocean Boulevard, Gulf Stream, Florida: Established as an exclusive winter resort in the 1920’s, Gulf Stream is a hidden gem in the heart of South Florida’s fabled Gold Coast. This quiet oceanfront hamlet, prized for exceptional quality of life and historic charm, is served by a winding stretch of Ocean Boulevard, canopied with Australian pines, that has been designated a Historic Scenic Highway.  PROPERTY On one of the largest properties in the neighborhood along North Ocean Boulevard, a designated Historic Scenic Highway, on  manicured landscaped 1.26 acres, the driveway meanders through the expansive, green-carpeted lawn punctuated by mature shade trees and towering palms, providing a distinctive sense of arrival.  Hedged for privacy in the sprawling back yard, the loggia, with a retractable awning, overlooks the sun-splashed pool set within a large patio edged with pocket gardens. RESIDENCE A legacy property presenting a coveted resort-style lifestyle, this remarkable four-bedroom, 5,399 +/- total-square-foot estate and guest house is a true Florida Classic, offering a light-filled floorplan that accommodates beautiful garden views from every room.

Two arched French doors open to a large loggia, flanked by two mature seagrape trees that frame a view of the front yard. On the opposite side of the room, two archways open the gathering room, with living and dining areas separated by an open-fretwork folding screen. In the dining area are two built-in china closets, and to one side of the entire space, a bank of sliding glass doors accesses the awninged patio and pool. Just adjacent is the kitchen, with a breakfast area and butler’s pantry.
