Old Floresta is a unique historic neighborhood established in the 1920’s by celebrated society architect Addison Mizner, who gave Boca Raton its signature Spanish Mediterranean style. Today, this sought-after enclave preserves many original Mizner residences in an Old Florida setting in the heart of Boca Raton, minutes from the landmark Boca Raton Resort, Mizner Park’s world-class shopping and dining, and the beach.
Mizner’s original design is modified for modern living in this 1926 vintage jewel, sensitively remodeled with an open floor-plan while maintaining its historic significance and special character. In a lush landscape brimming with tropical trees, the residence and separate guest house create an idyllic courtyard-like setting for the fountained pool on a coral-stone terrace.
Elegant charm fills this Spanish Mediterranean totaling 3,515 +/- square feet with four bedrooms and three full baths including the guest house with an oversized two-bay garage, which also includes a second washer and dryer. A loggia overlooks the front garden. Beautiful details of the well-scaled, high-ceilinged rooms feature original Dade County pine floors and peck cypress ceilings. Bathroom feature Carrara marble finishes. Amenities include a Bose Lifestyle indoor/outdoor sound system. A pecky cypress ceiling and wood-burning fireplace add warmth to the comfortably elegant living room. Flowing openly, the inviting dining room adjoins the newly updated dine-in gourmet kitchen - highlighted by a tongue-and-groove-paneled volume ceiling - with Carrara marble counters, KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer, Jenn-Air gas range, and Bosch dishwasher. French doors in the family room open by the pool. The master suite features a private bath. Served by another bath, two more bedrooms include on doubling as a study with pecky cypress paneling. Another spacious VIP suite is in the separate guest house.
