20 Palm Beach Road, Palm Beach

Oh, to be at La Serenita on a balmy afternoon. Here, a sweet stroll away from the water is a place that lives up to its languid name.

The attractive fusion of materials collected inside the superb frame of 20 Palm Beach Road, Palm Beach – corrugated steel arches put you in mind of a cool coastal cathedral – creates something quite special.

LJ Hooker’s Peter Robinson says the industrial feel here is an inspired point of difference. “It’s not a traditional beach house, but a different, clever take on it, that’s sophisticated, elegant and high-end.”

Light and views, both garden and blue water, flood the broad spaces, and across the three levels, there’s well-zoned accommodation and communal and private areas.

Beyond a custom-made copper front door, the main living room spreads out, banks of glass stacker doors folding back to access a brilliant al fresco area.

A level below provides what Robinson calls the “X factor” with two more large living/rumpus spaces, bedrooms, and a splendid large terrace. Right up on top, there’s more accommodation, a study, and the lush main bedroom with its own private balcony over the treetops to the sea.
