When you think of Florida Art Deco architecture, Miami’s re-habbed and hip South Beach immediately comes to mind. But, over here on Florida’s west coast, we do things a bit more quietly. The tones may be muted and the neighborhood gated but we are just as proud of our Art Deco masterpiece in the Bayside community of The Oaks Golf and Country Club.

Built only two years ago for a very sophisticated, well-traveled couple with an eye for perfection, 162 Osprey Point Drive marries Art Deco design with today’s finest lifestyle. Art Deco was originally introduced at the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes as a showcase for “new inspiration and real originality” and this showplace of artful living is most definitely original and inspirational.

Privately sited for magnificent sunsets overlooking a waterfront preserve and out to the Gulf of Mexico, you will see distinguishing Art Deco features such as the custom Bronze front doors, sharks tooth design plaster soffits and original 1930’s Parisian light pendants throughout this splendid 6200 square foot residence. There are exotic woods and exquisite marbles, backlit Art Deco plaster columns and rounded window and door frames coupled with favorites of today such an infinity-edge saltwater pool, a 1300 bottle walk-in wine cellar and a double level home theatre.
