This home is illuminated by its exterior lighting, which magnifies its unique roof lines, balconies and chimneys. Its all-natural coral-stone moldings and balcony balusters, mosaic tiles, wrought-iron railings and Pecky Cypress soffit outlookers dress it up perfectly. In addition, the Pecky Cypress tongue-and-groove entryway ceilings and the custom, 10-foot, solid-core Brazilian Mahogany impact door with wrought-iron inserts give the perfect finish to the exterior. From ceiling to floor, the home is inviting from the first step visitors take inside. With its series of arches, Brazilian Lyptus millwork, and marble and Brazilian cherry floors, the entryway draws people in. It opens up into a grand entertainment area, including a living room, dining room and open kitchen. These areas use both natural stone and wood, giving a strong but warm feel. They boost a $500,000 custom Brazilian Lyptus millwork package that dramatically dresses up the home. Highlights of the millwork include impressive 8-foot, eight-panel doors, three-piece crown molding, radius-arch moldings and eight-piece coffered ceilings. The trees used for this wood are chopped down at their maturity of 8 years. The wood is of the highest quality with respect to its strength and beauty, and it has no knots. Brazilian cherry floors lead into the kitchen and outdoor areas, where there is more use of wood and real coral stone. The custom kitchen cabinets are also made of Brazilian Lyptus and have insert panels with raised moldings. The kitchen displays a coral stone hood and decorative surround, which is artwork in itself. The granite kitchen counters show off beautiful, flowing colors. Along with the tumbled marble backsplashes and iron inserts, they tie all the other uses of material together. The living room flows seamlessly into an outside living space featuring a summer kitchen, patio, pool and putting green. Coral stone is predominantly used for flooring here because of its natural beauty and coolness to the feet during the hot, sunny days in Florida. A coral hood and surrounds, mosaic and Pecky Cypress also showcase the summer kitchen. Pecky Cypress tongue and groove is also used here for the ceilings. All the bathrooms are special. They feature various natural materials such as river rock, mosaic tiles, granite, marble and slate. Bedrooms are classic and comfortable. One special bedroom for the grandchildren features a themed construction room designed by Daddona Studios. It has a "dump-truck" bunk bed completed with custom tool-chest storage for clothes.
