Palm Beach has long been known for its fun downtown scene and beautiful architecture, and this lakefront home drives that second point home in a big way. Built in 1940, The Boat House was famed architect Belford Shoumate’s first creation in Palm Beach. Fully renovated by the current owners, the modernist masterpiece is now on the market asking a steep $24.95 million.

Perched off the mainland on Lake Way, the Boat House is a stunning piece of architecture with many features not seen in today’s new builds. Made of stucco with crawling ivy up the exterior walls, the entryway is only the beginning of the magic that awaits here. Rounded walls and lots of windows help to light up every room of the Art Moderne abode, while the current colorful and graphic decor provides exuberant pops of color throughout.

Standing at 4,850 square feet, it is expansive and has been recently updated, all with the structure’s character kept in mind. Seamed hardwood floors and porthole windows add to the nautical feel that Shoumate wanted to create.

Perhaps the crowd favorite of this home will be the retro-glam outdoor areas, however, where spending time outside feels like staying at a posh boutique hotel. Rooftop terraces, stunning Intracoastal views, a long dong, and a large lap pool are perfect for enjoying fun in the sun Florida style. John and Lisa Cregan of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the six-bedroom, six-bathroom listing.
