2306 Bay Drive

LOCATION:

2306 Bay Drive, Pompano Beach, Florida: Nestled in east Pompano Beach, Hillsboro Shores is a desirable coastal community with a true island ambience. This barrier island enclave is just south of Hillsboro Inlet nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, midway between Fort Lauderdale’s and Boca Raton’s shopping, dining and cultural venues. The Palm Beach International Airport and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport are each about 30 minutes away.

PROPERTY:

On a 0.6-acre parcel, a paver driveway leads to the beautifully landscaped hedged and fenced motor court with a fountain, four-bay garage and the stone and wrought-iron stairway to the entry. Overlooking the lighthouse and Hillsboro Inlet, the balconies and loggia flow out to the grotto-like resort-style pool with a spa and swim-up bar set within an expansive patio and green-carpeted lawn with a putting green bordering the ocean and inlet with direct beach access.

RESIDENCE:

Evoking the drama and romance of the Mediterranean, this Italianate estate is a masterwork of design, where the foyer, living room, kitchen, family room and grand terrace command sweeping sunrise views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Hillsboro Inlet and the iconic Hillsboro Lighthouse. Defined by its regal architectural detailing, the residence is richly overlaid with a medley of highly decorative tray, cove, coffered and groined ceilings; handsome hardwood and stone flooring; and graceful Corinthian columns and custom molding embellishments throughout. An impressive second-floor stone entry sets the stage with an arched, wrought-iron-adorned glass front door topped by a trio of arched windows. Inside, the foyer flows through the gallery into the majestic two-story living room, anchored by a grand carved-stone fireplace and featuring an entire wall of glass that opens to the ocean-view terrace. The formal dining room is enhanced by a brick-lined wine alcove, while the adjacent center-island gourmet kitchen is finished with custom wood cabinetry, granite counters and backsplashes, professional-grade appliances and a breakfast bar that serves the coffered-ceiling family room with access to the expansive lighthouse-view terrace. The ground-floor level comprises a club-style recreation room with a fully-equipped theatre and wet bar; a paneled office with a coffered ceiling, built-in bookshelves and stained-glass windows; a guest-bedroom suite; home gym; and four-bay garage. On the upper level, the palatial primary suite, with a triple-tray ceiling, presides over an entire wing. A serene retreat, it comprises a sitting area, a private ocean-view balcony, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub and two water closets. In the opposite wing is the guest bedroom suite that accesses an ocean-view balcony. Completing the layout are a powder room, storage room and an elevator. This incredible offering, with carefully curated details, elevates everyday living into something extraordinary.
