I like this. They went a little overboard with the arched windows but at least they look nice in the wood finish. The exterior is a nice take on Tuscan/Moorish and probably wouldn’t offend Mizner terribly. The interior obviously needs some color, but I like the subtle details throughout. Not bad at all, and considering it’s on the water, the price isn’t terribly unrealistic.
It was all going relatively well until the kitchen. Even if you don’t cook, that kitchen is a travesty. On the other hand, I’m a big fan of courtyards and this one has a double, just not a home run. And scrub some color in here like Daniel says. Finally, on price…Palacio del Eden down the street is listed at $10.7M with killa views, a better lot location, and more. Top that with 8 (?) deed and warranty deed sales of this property since ’99 and none exceeding $11.6M and it just doesn’t add up. Drop the price by $4M and see what that pulls in.
A good looking home and I love the courtyard. Could use a bit more color on the interior as has been mentioned, but finally a home without over the top interiors.

It’s OK…not great, but OK. I don’t like the garage doors right next to the front door. I realize that they have to go in the front with the waterfront lot, but I would have put the garage doors on the street and kept the motor court free of garage doors. I do like the exterior although I think it would look better in something other than start white. I do love a good courtyard, and this one’s pretty good. I have to say that I hate the spiral staircase. I’m not a fan of the interior at all. Even with much needed color, a lot of the spaces don’t look that great. The decor is in desperate need of updating, but that would help quite a bit. Still, some of the spaces don’t leave a lot to work with.
I feel like I have seen this home a hundred times. Just a ho hum variation on a theme.
The kitchen is a mess. With the pool and waterfront -do you really need an extra body of water with the Koi pond?

My complaints for this one- the interior is too white, the kitchen is too small, and the ceilings are too low, other than that I like this house. But it’s in Florida…
