House in Palm Beach, FL 33480

Tropic Isle, 242 Jungle Rd

On the entire island of Palm Beach, fewer than two dozen homes have south-facing water views. This is one of them! Not only does 242 Jungle have coveted long, sun-dappled water views it also has unimpeded views to the southwest and west and gorgeous Palm Beach sunsets. This property is in many ways an estate section unicorn. Designed by revered architect, Marion Sims Wyeth, this is a landmarked Georgian Revival home with subtle French influences. The living and formal entertaining spaces are as gracious as you'd expect in a Palm Beach home of the 1930's. But unlike its generational peers, 242 Jungle also features an expansive family room/kitchen and terraces, all with wide views of the Intracoastal, that was added in 2014. Back and front stairs, plus a newly installed elevator, provide access to family bedrooms that open onto a sunlit upstairs family room and outdoor terrace running the length of the home. Meticulously maintained, with air conditioning, plumbing and wiring all up to date along with a full house generator. Its 208' waterfront offers many choices for a dock location along the brand new seawall.
