Lot #15 43 St. Lucia Lane

Designed by local architect Christ & Associates, this recently completed Gulf-front home includes interior design and custom décor professionally selected and assembled by Bohlert Massey Home, located in Seacrest Beach, reminiscent of vintage Palm Beach style. The simple yet sophisticated exterior finishes include crisp white smooth-finish stucco, travertine tile and sea shell-encrusted chimneys. The operable, lime green painted mahogany shudders hint at the glamour to be found inside, belying the more traditional characteristics of its shell.

The barrel vaulted, wood-paneled ceiling of the second floor main entrance leads into an expansive living space. Varied widths of dark, oiled and waxed mahogany blanket the floor and draw out the golden hues from the "Zavis-Fresco" wall treatment, which consists of large panels of canvas, treated with a flexible plaster finish to produce a truly authentic, old-world look and feel. Enjoy the sight of the Gulf from the adjoining living and sitting rooms, whose classic designs are tempered with an unpretentious dramatic flair. A fireplace anchors each end of the long shared space, each flanked by arched alcoves.

An avant-garde kitchen features a stunning black ceiling and Absolute Black granite countertops. It is outfitted with dark mahogany lower cabinets and distressed, khaki-colored upper cabinets with glass panes that reveal striking red interiors. A massive center island showcases an impressive slab of richly-colored stone with a thickly layered laminated edge, creating a substantial appearance. The Midas Gold travertine backsplash and mosaic tile floor, set within a mahogany framework, melds all of the varied elements. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a black, cast-iron Aga range.

The master suite dominates the third floor and includes a spacious sleeping chamber with a fireplace adjoining the office, and sun-filled sitting room overlooking the Gulf, all of which share wooden ceilings. Those of the sleeping chamber and sitting room remain bright and aloft while those in the office are ebony-stained mahogany to create a more intimate space. White, Kiki coral sconces flank the fireplace and windows in the sleeping chamber, which frame amazing, unobstructed views of the Gulf.

Indulge in the extravagantly spacious master bath with free-standing cast iron soaking tub with enamel interior, inspired by the French copper boat tub. Large cuts of White Calcutta marble envelope the space while mosaic of the same material enwrap every surface of the generous walk-in steam shower, creating a spa-like atmosphere. Touches of Ming Green punctuate the elegant space. His and hers walk-in closets will more than accommodate the most extensive wardrobes.

Eighteen-inch China Black and White Calcutta marble tiles are laid on the diagonal in a checkerboard pattern throughout the foyer of the stylish first floor. Black and white damask-patterned Zoffany wall-covering bridges the contrast between the traditional floor and modern Mirano Glass pendants. The four downstairs baths feature unique color schemes and vanities created from a varied assortment of custom case goods.
