Most waterfront homes give you one view. This one surrounds you with 180+ feet of it. Double waterfront isn't just a feature - it's a lifestyle that only a handful of properties in Boca can claim. Fresh from a complete transformation, 872 Lilac Drive doesn't apologize for being different. The design is clean, modern, unapologetically bright. Light wood floors lead you through spaces that actually make sense - a kitchen that opens instead of closes you off, rooms that breathe, a fireplace wrapped in stone that commands attention without trying too hard. The kitchen? White, crisp, built for someone who actually cooks. Or orders in. Either way, you'll look good doing it. Step outside and the real magic happens. Your pool. Your dock. Your 180+ feet of water that most people only dream about. Boats glide by. Sunsets paint the sky. You're in a gated community, but it feels like your own private island. Minutes to Mizner Park, Atlantic Avenue, Palm Beach, and everything that makes South Florida irresistible. The best restaurants, shopping, and beaches are your neighbors. The renovations weren't subtle - new bathrooms with marble that matters, walk-in closets that actually fit your wardrobe, finishes that photograph well and live even better. This isn't a house that begs for attention. It just quietly flexes with double waterfront access while everyone else is stuck with one view.
