Property Description
Experience timeless beauty in this exquisitely preserved 1925 estate designed by celebrated
architect Charles R. Wait. Set within the exclusive Mountain Lake community, this 5,025 sq
ft residence perfectly balances historic charm and modern sophistication. From the moment
you enter, original tile floors, intricate moldings, and soaring ceilings set an elegant tone
throughout. The grand living room impresses with vaulted, beamed ceilings and a custom
Dutch Delft–tiled fireplace—a striking focal point for relaxing or entertaining. Designed for
effortless hospitality, the home offers five private exterior entrances for exceptional privacy
and flexibility. The guest suite with its own entrance and kitchenette functions as a fully
independent retreat—ideal for extended family, guests, or live-in support. The first-floor
primary suite is a peaceful haven with a spa-style bath and generous walk-in closet.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms include a spacious guest suite with stunning views of
Bok Tower and the lake. The second-floor primary suite opens onto a large balcony
overlooking the gardens and the lake, offering a private and serene outdoor retreat. The
chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero, Bosch, and Wolf appliances, granite countertops, custom
cabinetry, and a butler's pantry with an additional Miele dishwasher. Just off the kitchen
is a cozy sitting room with casual eating area, TV room, and office with cherry pocket
doors. Each space opens to the courtyard and gardens, creating intimate areas for work or
relaxation. Outside, enjoy manicured gardens, a private pool, upgraded paver driveway,
and classic Ludowici tile roof. Modern updates include a whole-home standby generator,
detached two-car garage, and separate enclosed golf-cart storage. A true architectural
treasure, this Mountain Lake estate blends historic elegance, modern luxury, and the ease of
contemporary living
