LOCATION

1228 Crestwood Drive, Delray Beach, Florida. Arguably Delray Beach’s most sought-after neighborhood, Delray Beach’s affluent North Ocean neighborhood faces the Atlantic Ocean, occupying just a sliver of prime seaside where approximately 300 residents enjoy just a few truly elite estates along the city's furthest eastern extent. In the heart of South Florida’s famed Gold Coast, Delray Beach offers the ultimate sought-after style of living that combines a resort-like ambience highlighted by the Atlantic Ocean’s dramatic sugar-sand beaches, paired with the sophistication and panache of Delray Beach’s vibrant downtown with eclectic shops, cafes and restaurants that line chic Atlantic Avenue. 

PROPERTY 

Lushly landscaped with high hedges for privacy and a turf yard, this residence unfolds as a private resort with an infrared sauna and a cold-plunge tub for wellness, while a sparkling salt-water pool with a spill-over spa is set within an expansive patio for lounging and alfresco dining. 

RESIDENCE 

Defined by beach-chic elegance, this coastal contemporary residence with West Indies accents epitomizes the coveted seaside lifestyle, complete with a private Crestwood Drive gate to deeded beach access less than a half block from its front door. Easy, breezy and beautiful, interiors of this four-bedroom, 4,277± total square foot renovated residence are crowned by soaring ceilings and grounded by lightly stained wide-plank engineered flooring, tailor-made for seaside living and entertaining, both formal and casual. A window-wall of French doors, topped by transoms, opens to the pool terrace, transforming the elegant living room into a true showstopper, while sunlight pours through the garden-view bay window in the formal dining room, setting a gracious stage for memorable gatherings. Offering a relaxed, unhurried feel, the family room, breakfast room and kitchen are grouped together for effortless indoor-outdoor living, with banks of French doors that flow out to the pool patio. A culinary showpiece, the center-island kitchen is finished with streamlined contemporary cabinetry, marble counters and backsplashes, and high-end stainless-steel appliances. For quiet moments, retreat to the library/office, a lovely space topped by a beamed ceiling, or gather for movie nights in the media room, which opens directly to the pool patio. Of note, the media room can be repurposed as a guest suite with a cabana bath. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a serene sanctuary, crowned by a dramatic drop-cove ceiling and featuring French doors to a pool-view balcony. An oversize, custom-fitted walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with dual pedestal sinks, walk-in shower and soaking tub complete the suite. The two upstairs guest suites are equally inviting, one opening to a Juliet balcony. Rounding out the layout are a laundry, a pantry plumbed for a washer/dryer, and a two-car garage. Additional highlights include natural gas accommodation, impact windows and doors, and a full-house generator, while the roof was replaced in 2020 with concrete tile. Here, days move to the rhythm of the waves, ocean breezes drift through open doors, and the shoreline waits whenever the mood calls.
