Outstanding architecture evident in John’s Island pool home

BY SAMANTHA ROHLFING BAITA
Staff Writer

From its beautiful Palm Beach
rooflines and dramatic entrance
courtyard, to its soaring coffered
ceilings, expansive interior and com-
manding river view, the Georgian Re-
vival home at 150 North Shore Drive
in John’s Island is built to impress.
And impress it does.

The owners, one of whom is an ar-
chitect, worked closely with the firm
of record, Smith and Moore of Palm
Beach, to create “a real family house
for our children and grandchildren, a
house that is easy to live in,” as well
as elegant.

Located on a lovely cul-de-sac be-
side a tranquil cove on the Indian River
Lagoon, the stately house sits subtly el-
evated and a bit back from the street at
the apex of the half-circular driveway.
It is not a stretch to call the home pala-
tial, but as impressive as it is, it does not
intimidate. With a soft sandy peach ex-
terior and light blue shutters, it exudes
a sense of welcome and grace.

Other brushed stainless-steel ap-

to accommodate a lunch bar. It fea-
