An iconic Fatio-designed estate, masterfully restored and ideally positioned just one block from the ocean. Set on an expansive 200' × 160' corner lot, this sophisticated 7BR/8.5BA residence — including a private guest house — offers 5,652 sq ft of timeless elegance. The home showcases impact-glass windows, rich wood floors, a designer-updated gourmet kitchen, beautifully renovated baths, architectural detailing, and multiple fireplaces. Outdoor living shines with a resort-style pool, lush landscaping, expansive green spaces, and a covered loggia with a full summer kitchen, perfect for year-round entertaining. Completed by a circular drive, 2-car garage, full concrete/impact construction and a new roof from 2025, this exceptional property blends historical charm with modern luxury in one of Boca Raton’s most desirable seaside enclaves.
Spanish River Land, located between Spanish River Blvd and the Intracoastal Waterway, is a coastal and residential Boca Raton neighborhood with deep-lot estates and a canopy of mature palms. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Spanish River Blvd corridor near NE 5th Ave, where low-slung gates, manicured hedges, and a quiet, yacht-country rhythm set the tone. Architecture leans Mediterranean Revival and contemporary waterfront builds, with private docks and long driveways shaping the streetscape. Days orbit around the sand and dunes at Spanish River Park and the shoreline at Red Reef Park. Cultural touchstones nearby include the Boca Raton Museum of Art and Mizner Park Amphitheater for gallery nights and open-air performances. Dining landmarks such as Trattoria Romana and The Blue Dog Cookhouse & Bar add a polished, local cadence to evenings.
