When you close your eyes and think of Palm Beach’s idyllic properties, you will probably envision something much like this residence. The Bermuda-style home, white stucco with blue shutters, sits on a perfectly manicured half-acre just across from the Intracoastal Waterway. The luxurious West Palm Beach estate, coined “the Jewel of South Flagler,” just came to market for $26,250,000 and we’re giving you the exclusive first look.
The seller is investor Edward Ewing, who scooped the property up in 2020 amidst COVID for $6,075,000, per property records. Originally designed in 2013 by West Palm-based architects Roy & Posey and built by Island Construction, the home has since undergone a transformation by Texas-based Robert Trown and Associates.
Stepping inside, glamour is met with a vibrant and contemporary vision. “Not a dime was spared on the renovation,” says co-listing agent Cara Conglio McClure. Indeed, bespoke materials and finishes are abundant throughout the 9,000-square-foot home. Wallcoverings from Christian LaCroix, de Gournay, and Phillip Jeffries add flair to spaces. A staggering 200-pound, hand-crafted chandelier adorns the dining room. There’s even a dramatic black marble library with coquina-clad walls.
“Every time I show the house, I find another awe-inspiring detail that I have never noticed before,” Conglio McClure shares. Pocket doors to separate entertaining spaces are just one of those thoughtful elements.
In quintessential Palm Beach fashion, the homeowners did not shy away from color. There’s an orange and blue-toned kitchen, a matching breakfast nook banquette with a whimsical print, a hot pink sofa in the dining room, checkered club chairs in the media room, a dining room filled with shades of green, a glossy red office, and bedrooms in shades of pinks and blues. As you tour the manse, these spunky yet tailored design choices keep you guessing.
Outside, the grounds rival those of the area’s poshest hotels. A tropical oasis of coconut palms and lush greenery frame the lagoon-like pool and hot tub. The detached guest house has its own kitchen, bedroom, and a balcony for soaking up the sun. With 130 feet of water-frontage, the estate also comes with a private dock with a 50,000-pound boat lift. At this price point, it’s not a stretch to imagine yachts pulling up to the property regularly.
Though they are selling, the homeowner and his family plan to stay local. Cara Conglio McClure and Lisa Wilkinson of Douglas Elliman have listed the eye-catching, lavish listing.
