Steeped in the wonderfully warm character of Old Florida, this Spanish Colonial-inspired estate was designed by renowned architect Addison Mizner, who rose to fame in the 1920’s, fashioning gracious Palm Beach estates for wealthy, socially prominent clients, and later that decade, brought his vision to Boca Raton. One of the few and thus highly prized Mizner residences built in Boca Raton, this 1926 gem casts its charming spell in a tree-canopied tropical oasis in sought after Old Floresta, a unique historic neighborhood that Mizner established in the heart of Boca Raton. Featured in “Florida Design” magazine (Spring, 2004), the five-bedroom residence has now been skillfully enlarged and brilliantly renovated with the ultimate modern-day comforts while preserving its authentic character. Pecky cypress, Dade County pine, terra cotta, and Chicago brick add casual rustic elegance to a welcoming environment for family and friends, interweaving indoor and outdoor living and entertaining spaces. Lushly secluded on the spacious double-lot manicured grounds is a shady garden courtyard, where a sprawling live oak tree is a canopy with Spanish moss and illumined by copper lanterns adding a romantic evening ambiance. Another courtyard highlights the beautiful pool, summer kitchen and separate guest cottage. A world of graciousness and serenity, this exquisite Mizner estate endures as an alluring rarity.
