The design style here is inspired by visits to eclectic boutique hotels from the owners' favorite destinations around the world. Each bedroom tells a story of their travels and the open concept great room is made for conversation: it's both comfortable and vibrant. The house's two-story feature wall includes a two-way linear fireplace that faces both the living room and the hookah lounge, which is under the stairs. It also showcases four of Andy Warhol's Birth of Venus prints. One of the favorite features of the great-room, the glass encased wine-room, is just steps away.
This home won interior designer Wilfredo Emanuel three of his six Sand Dollar Awards in 2019: Best Interior Design of the Year, Best Outdoor Area, Best Master Suite. We are big fans!
