EXTERIOR:
This home sits on 0.40 acres of secluded property with abundant south Florida and tropical foliage and a stream that rambles down to Robert’s Bay. The yard features 11 mature live oaks, palm trees, Cedars, bamboo, along with Rhapis palms, split leaf philodendrons, heliconia, ginger, cardamom and more exotic plants.
The house incorporates a modern design concept with sand-finished stucco and a slanted, flat roof. The 32-foot lap pool has an outdoor shower and a large tiled deck that is suitable for a hot tub, potted plants or party area. The pool deck has custom-made aluminum hand railing matching those on the front and rear entry steps and the staircase banisters in the house.
Buried utility lines keep the yard free from unsightly overhead cables and are protected during high winds and storms.
The yard has been maintained without the use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. The grounds are covered in washed shell or cedar mulch.
