Jupiter Island, Florida — Villa

Designed for a Mediterranean lifestyle, this award-winning design is a perfect build for warm climates like Jupiter Island, Florida or San Diego, California and enhances any waterscape. Enter though a gated street entrance to a magnificent 17,000 SF villa with a welcoming Venetian columned portico-a major theme of this design. A Venetian columned two-story Piazza-open-air courtyard off the entry foyer leads to 28,000-SF of customized outside living space-shown is a Venetian Grand Canal flowing through the Piazza to the infinity pool.

The estate can easily fit on an acre of land and is surrounded by a perimeter security wall. The design offers eight-bedroom suites, nine-full and three-partial baths including three-master 1,000-1,500-SF suites, formal two-story dining and living rooms, a White River Hardwoods paneled two-story library with decorative spiral stair, an expansive great room, chef's eat-in kitchen, butler pantry, breakfast solarium, theater/film and game rooms, wine cellar, elevator, in-door spa and lap-pool, eight-car garage with a Porte-Cochére auto court entrance to the main house. The wow factor comes the moment you enter the 1,200-SF foyer with 35-foot tray-ceiling, glass windowed surrounded turret and Walker Zanger Italian white marble double grand stairway and fountain. Ceiling heights range from a 12-foot minimum to 35-feet with large six-foot hallways throughout the home.

Outdoor living spaces include a 1,500-SF infinity pool, spa with custom Sun Precast fountains, a luxury Lynx outdoor kitchen supplied by appliance consultant Debbie Schaeffer, fireplace, cabana pavilion with full bath, steam shower, dressing rooms and storage. Bridges connect the dining pavilion and as well as the pool over the Grand Venetian Canal creating the most lavish resort-styled entertaining and family indoor/outdoor living space.
