Find South Beach serenity in elegant Seagrove home

BY SAMANTHA ROHLFING BAITA

Staff Writer

The sweeping expanses of living
space inside and out, the impeccable
design detail and the casually sophis-
ticated ambiance make the gorgeous,
West Indies-inspired home at 255
Ocean Way a standout in the serene,
South Beach community of Seagrove.

Mossy green shutters flank win-
dows and doors, providing appealing
contrast to the white exterior walls as
well as sturdy protection from storms.

The entrance, through the first of
several beautiful mahogany French
doors, reveals the home’s “L” design,
which embraces and showcases a
beautiful outdoor oasis: an exqui-
site and spacious garden courtyard,
surrounding a sparkling pool. Step-
ping in, one gazes along a wide, cov-
ered veranda extending the length of
the main, north wing and opening,
through four French doors, to the foy-
er, living room and dining room.

Graceful palms and low shrubs
enhance a lush, two-level lawn, af-
fording plenty of space for active or
passive pursuits. The wide veranda
continues along the north side, with
four more sets of French doors, open-
ing the entire length – foyer, living
room, dining room – to the courtyard.
To take full advantage of the tropical
breezes, these handsome doors are
paired with matching pocket screen
doors.

With the doors open, a glorious in-
door-outdoor space is created, ideal
for the most fabulous parties beneath
