One of Boca Grande's most historically significant beachfront homes with 145 ft of gulf frontage
situated on approx. 1 acre of land. Originally owned by Louise duPont and Francis
Crowninshield, this exquisite home was built in 1927 as a winter retreat. A 3+ year renovation
combines a bygone era with new vogue as seen from imported European mosaic tiles, imported
crystal hanging pendants, and chef custom designed kitchen by Chicago's diGulio's Kitchens.
Elegant features are surrounded by shell stone floors and ceilings made from the estate's
reclaimed cypress wood. Rebuilt from the foundation up, impact-resistant windows and custom
impact NanaWall(r) sliding doors were installed and offer wide-open views of the white sand and
azure waters. Numerous water amenities surround the exterior, including a 12-foot deep
swimming pool with shell stone deck, spa, restored seahorse fountain, and two reclaimed water
cisterns. Renovated under the Florida Green Building Coalition guidelines, recycled and energy efficient
materials were utilized. Truly a rare find, this 7-bed, 6-bath, 4,800 AC sq. ft. and 11,228
overall sq. ft. architectural jewel offers the best of Boca Grande's Gulf Coast beauty and history.
