This Las Olas home is all about four words: details, boating, outdoors and luxury. Perfect for boating enthusiasts, the residence takes advantage of the water surrounding it — from the waterway behind the home where you can park your boat or yacht to the Intracoastal Waterway views from the windows to the beach itself being steps away.
The residence features five bedrooms, five full baths (including a cabana bath), a private elevator, a junior primary suite, a pool, an outdoor kitchen and more, all within 7,800 total square feet (4,076 livable square feet).
Situated within the highly sought-after Seven Isles, the two-story waterfront estate was designed to seamlessly welcome the outdoors inside. The developer started with the massive living room, which is equipped with 10-foot pocket glass doors that slide to one end of the home. In the primary bedroom, a surprising 20-by-11 retractable awning leads to an expansive terrace overlooking the pool and water.
Luxury amenities such as a private 60 foot by 6 foot concrete dock with sandblasted travertine marble, a saltwater pool with attached spa, and water frontage of 60 feet extend the outdoor living space. Making that space even more inviting is the outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue (super-large 4-footer), custom bar with ice maker, two sinks, two refrigerators, a dishwasher and a custom, locked back bar with cabinets and a hidden TV. Another enticement is the huge covered loggia where this outdoor kitchen is located along with lounging furniture, tongue-and-groove cedar wood ceiling and recessed lighting. You can even shower in the outdoor shower.
However, everyone knows most of the entertainment takes place in the kitchen. Your eye is instantly drawn to the super-large waterfall island featuring luxurious stone countertops and the stainless steel under-mount farm-style kitchen sink where three pendant lights hang above to set the ideal tone for the evening.
Beyond the beauty and aesthetically pleasing design, the hidden craftsmanship will make cooking a cinch. Start with the attached pantry that extends the kitchen’s designer details, the full-light backsplash and the 7-foot wine refrigerator with floating shelves adjacent to it. The cabinets speak to the home’s ability to cater to its residents: The all-wood fixtures feature a maple interior, shaker-style drawers and doors, double stack uppers, custom reed glass doors, white gloss-sprayed interior, rollout shelves, spice pull-out trays, soft close hinges, tray dividers, European hinges and more.
The primary bedroom, located in its own wing on the second floor, exemplifies the home’s exceptional quality. You will immediately notice the 12-foot floor-to-ceiling custom-built hutch and entertainment cabinet with custom wood coffee bar and refrigerator in the morning bar area. It features a custom white clay sink and white faucet floating shelves, all housed beneath a gorgeous tray ceiling. Step into your private spa with freestanding tub and a large fixed window above, floor-to-ceiling porcelain slab behind it, recessed lighting, 9-foot custom floating vanity (with dual sinks and waterfall faucets), frameless glass shower enclosure (floor-to-ceiling tiled shower walls and smooth-glide dual shower doors) and a separate water closet. The massive closet with boutique-like features also includes hidden hampers (it’s all about the details). Lastly, begin your days and end your evenings on the outdoor terrace with your drink of choice overlooking the spectacular views.
When it comes to quality, the developer left nothing to chance. For Josh Dotoli of DOTOLI Group, the opportunity to buy the property and rebuild it from the ground up was a full-circle moment. Eight years ago, he lived at the former home on the property. During that time, he met his wife and they started a family in that very home. Once they outgrew the space, they sold it, but years later he learned there was an opportunity to purchase the home. That’s when Dotoli completely rebuilt it, a true labor of love because of his deep connection to the property.
As for details, the new residence features concrete block construction – from the deep auger piles and oversized grade beams that reinforce the home’s foundation to the retaining walls along the sides of the house that tie into the sea wall. Concrete is also used throughout the home’s interior. A brand-new metal roof is the crowning touch.
The flawless craftsmanship continues with motorized shades in every room, customized closet systems, deco-style switches, a stairway with 3mm thick glass and a garage with custom-built wood-faced doors. The coastal modern masterpiece has luxurious finishes in all the bathrooms (white quartz, floating vanities and frameless shower entries), a loft space upstairs with a full view of Las Olas (floor-to-ceiling windows) and even the laundry room (custom-designed cabinetry, two-tier hanging areas and a window for natural light).
