Overview

The residence

An Intracoastal estate where exceptional design, thoughtful details, and a remarkable waterfront location come together just moments from Pompano Beach’s celebrated coastline.

Set directly on the Intracoastal Waterway in Santa Barbara Estates, this private, gated residence was extensively reimagined by a distinguished designer, with the interior transformation completed in early 2023. The result is a home that balances architectural presence with exceptional attention to detail, from its 12-foot ceilings and refined finishes to its beautifully connected indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The interiors feature honed marble flooring, refinished wood, bespoke finishes, and carefully selected designer lighting. At the heart of the home, a custom kitchen brings together quartz countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and beautifully detailed cabinetry. A separate bar and wine area add another dimension to entertaining, while five bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, and a dedicated workspace.

Beyond the interiors, the property opens to a heated saltwater pool, spa, full outdoor summer kitchen, and covered waterfront terrace overlooking the Intracoastal. A secluded side courtyard with an orchid garden and fountain offers a quieter, distinctly European-inspired retreat.

With 85 feet of Intracoastal frontage, private dockage, and no fixed bridges along the northern route to Hillsboro Inlet, the property is equally appealing to boating enthusiasts. Its location places the beach, Pompano Beach Pier, waterfront restaurants, and entertainment within walking distance, offering a lifestyle where the car can often be left at home.
