Arvin Haddad takes us on a journey through a grand estate in Palm Beach, dissecting its failures and triumphs with the precision of a surgeon. This property, boasting nine bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, and a sprawling 25,963 ft² space across two lots, sits like a forgotten king awaiting his subjects. The Italian Renaissance architecture commands attention, but Arvin's discerning eye catches the flaws, like an ugly door sullying an otherwise impeccable design.
As we delve deeper, the detached guest home emerges as a beacon of architectural prowess, with three bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths exuding elegance. Arvin's admiration is palpable, but he doesn't shy away from pointing out the missteps, such as a modern fireplace clashing with the classical theme. The property's listing price of $79,995,000 hangs like a heavy cloud over its unfulfilled potential, situated uncomfortably close to hotels and condos, tarnishing its desirability.
Inside, the opulence continues with marble floors, a double staircase, and a crystal chandelier that rivals the grandeur of a European train station. The meticulous attention to detail reflects the owner's deep pockets and commitment to authenticity in the 2008-built home. Each room pays homage to Italian Renaissance revival architecture, creating a cohesive aesthetic that Arvin appreciates despite his personal style preferences. The formal living room, or grand salon, stands as a testament to the property's grandeur, where even the hardwood floors clash with the natural stone, revealing a design flaw in an otherwise flawless facade.
