HOMES OF THE TREASURE COAST

Around the corner there is a similar
illusion with arches leading into the
wine cellar with a ceiling that looks
like half a barrel. A painting with the
same wrought iron door pattern gives
the appearance you’re walking down
the steps to the river. The cellar has
two refrigerators and a wine preservation
nitrogen system to preserve
open bottles.
Linda loves her kitchen with triple
bullhead marble tile and a large center
breakfast island for entertaining.
“I love to cook and I have cooked for
100 people before at this house,” she
says, “It was quite comfortable, but I
like to cook for 18 to 20 people.”
Frank has different ideas about
design when it comes to the everyday
nuisances of light switches and
outlets. “You feel it, but you might
not see it,” he says. When you look
around a room standing at eye level,
the outlets are missing. Todd had
them painted white and mounted on
the baseboard trim. Light switches
are at the same level as door knobs,
and the AC vents on the great room
ceiling have been faux painted to
match the wood ceiling. The thermostats
in almost every room are higher >> A covered lanai and kitchen adds outdoor protected cooking options for entertaining.
