House in Delray Beach, FL 33444

Del Ida Park, 19 N Dixie Blvd

A true expression of style and elegance, this spectacular designer jewel in coveted Delray Beach is utterly rare and one of a kind. ''Serendipity'' is a luxurious yet very relaxed custom residence conceived by its owner Olga Adler, a professional interior designer who painstakingly collaborated with other local notables Roger Cope Architects and Delray Garden Center to create a most unique, incredibly special home melding historic elements with refined modern amenities. Completed in 2019, the project was recognized by the Delray Beach Historical Preservation Board and the Delray Beach Preservation Trust for its meticulous presentation effort. As a native of Europe and a passionate enthusiast of old homes, Olga lovingly restored and transformed the one-bedroom 1925 Spanish Mission home house with a guest cottage she originally purchased, into an exquisite 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom single-family modern Spanish style home. This was the result of an impeccable gut-renovation of both structures and building an extension to connect them, thereby doubling the square footage. The chic California vibe was achieved through a mix of while walls, bronze window frames, matte black fixtures, French oak wide plank flooring, and organic textures and finishes throughout. That sensibility was inspired by her travels, and reflected not only in the ambience of the interiors, but also in landscape design. As impressive is the harmonious connection between indoor/outdoor living spaces via walls of glass, with all rooms enjoying beautiful views of the pool, patio and gardens. The blissful backyard oasis affords an ideal backdrop for entertaining, featuring a large marble patio with ample seating and lounge areas, lush plantings with custom landscape lighting, and sparkling 8'x30' heated saltwater pool with a full-length sun bench. An element of surprise comes upon entering the house, which opens into a 90-foot-long front-to-back view complemented by an open layout and airy 11-foot ceilings. The bright and functional space easily accommodates one's everyday needs as well as entertaining and overnight guests. At the heart is a top-of-the-line chef's kitchen adorned with custom German (Bauformat) cabinetry, European appliances (Bertazzoni and Fisher & Paykel), quartz surfaces, and an island with built-in seating for four. Rounding out the comfort is a library; home office/studio; laundry room with utility sink and desk area, Moroccan mosaic marble backsplash and flooring; and divine primary suite with his custom built-out closet, her walk-in closet and dressing room, French doors to the pool, and a fabulous spa bath. Additionally, the laundry room doubles as a butler's pantry and caterer's staging area helping to make the home an entertainer's dream. Every inch of this magnificent home has been thoughtfully considered, from the striking high-end lighting to the French Oak flooring by Villa Borghese, premium plumbing fixtures, Spanish bathroom tile by Porcelanosa, Smart Home and motorized window coverings by Lutron, closets by The Container Store, the list goes on. Topping the allure is a whole-house gas powered generator, kitchen water filtration system, Nest exterior security cameras, and SimpliSafe alarm system. All just six blocks off Atlantic Avenue, on a desirable historic cul-de-sac street that's less than a mile from the beach and the center of town. ***Original 1925 home bought in 2017 was completely rebuilt with large addition in 2018.
