Custom and architecturally created by a noted interior designer, this waterfront estate was carefully designed for a consummate coastal lifestyle, featuring a delightful blend of enduring classicism with contemporary touches.
An air of the Caribbean—timeless shutters, vibrant colors, light-filled view-focused interiors, and captivating outdoor spaces beneath swaying palms—pervades this waterfront home on desirable Everglades Island in Palm Beach. Veteran interior designer Scott Snyder brought his trademark refined style—beautifully balanced and impeccably detailed—to this island-inspired villa, which was carefully created for consummate coastal living and features a delightful blend of enduring classicism with contemporary touches. A gracefully curving spiral staircase with a decorative iron railing, regal coffered and tray ceilings, French doors, Venetian plaster walls, and marble and hardwood floors abide alongside top-caliber stainless-steel appliances, a convenient elevator, a glass-walled wine room, a superior security system, a whole-house generator, air-conditioned garaging for three cars, and Snyder’s sophisticated modern décor in minimalist ocean-echoing hues.

Highlights include an open living and dining room that encourages festive fêtes, a handsome library with built-in shelving and a wet bar, and a cook’s kitchen with an island, thoughtfully chosen tile accents, and plentiful counter and cabinet space. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a family room with a casual dining area, ample space for lounging, an airy pitched ceiling, and tones that bring to mind both the sea and the sky just outside. French doors open to the emerald lawn, while a wall of windows folds back, giving way to the poolside loggia.
One of five bedrooms—found on both of the home’s two levels—the owner’s suite is a serene aerie with a soothing cloudlike palette, a generous sitting area, French doors to a private covered balcony overlooking the water, two walk-in closets, and two luxurious baths, one with dual vanities and a freestanding soaking tub. Each of the additional bedrooms is peaceful in its own right and appointed with an aesthetic befitting its seaside locale. Linked to the main residence by a breezeway is a charming guest cottage offering a secluded bedroom and bath.
A life lived outdoors is paramount to the Palm Beach experience, and this estate accommodates in exceptional fashion with a breezy loggia—outfitted with a stately fireplace and Old World detailing—a dazzling swimming pool and spa, a sun-washed waterside deck, swaths of lush lawn, and a private dock, all on the brink of Lake Worth Lagoon and the “blue highway” of the iconic Intracoastal Waterway, which is inextricably woven into the history and life of Palm Beach.
