1600 N Ocean Boulevard, Palm Beach, FL 33480 (MLS# 13-753)

Supplements: This custom built Modernist home was commissioned by the current owners, a Palm Beach family and designed by architect John Colamarino. It sits on a 14,950 sq. ft. parcel and is positioned to take advantage of southern exposures for the 63' lap pool, gardens and sun decks. Large expanses of glass windows and glass block curtain walls maximize all four exposures throughout the entire house. Located on the north end of the island, the property is a block away from Palm Beach's widest oceanfront beach and one block from the Palm Beach Inlet dock. Designed in the tradition of Mies Van Der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Edward Durell Stone, it features cantilevered balconies that transverse the private family quarters and the public entertaining spaces, which are connected by two open staircases at either end of the home. Walking between the two is like strolling on the deck of a luxury liner. The house has 5 bedrooms, 7 baths and 1 powder room, including the separate en-suite staff room, located adjacent to the laundry utility room. The home features first and second floor offices, a formal dining room as well as family dining adjacent to the kitchen. Unique details include an architectural fireplace, custom maple cabinetry, large gallery walls to display art and several outdoor green areas around the home to place outdoor sculpture. This house is the art collector's dream and affords endless entertaining opportunities for 8 or 200 guests.
