6 bedroom House For Sale: 1255 North..

One of South Florida’s most prized spans of coastline gives sublime allure to this stunning walled and gated oceanfront estate tucked away in the tranquil seaside hamlet of Gulf Stream. Beckoning to pristine sands and endless ocean waters, this Bermuda-inspired masterpiece was just completed in 2012, created through the partnership of architect Gary Eliopoulos and Mouw Associates, Inc., a high-end custom home builder with nearly 60 years of experience.
Approaching the stately six-bedroom residence, a long private drive leads through a vine-covered pergola and rows of sumptuous Medjool date palms. Revealing the idyllic ocean view, double doors enter the grand two-story entrance hall and inviting living spaces – all with fine architectural details and finishes that master the mix of elegance and ease. Catering to every desire, the amenities range from the showpiece kitchen, connoisseur’s wine cellar, and car collector’s six-bay garage to the gracious oceanfront verandah, a true outdoor living room for entertaining or relaxing by the serene pool with waterfall spa. Arranged on both levels of the residence, the well-appointed sleeping quarters feature a romantic master suite with oceanside balcony, and are accompanied by a separate guest cottage in its own lush setting on the expansive compound-like property. Giving the feel of an ultra-luxurious beach resort villa, with no detail overlooked, this oceanfront paradise is nothing short of perfection.
