Why spend another winter shivering in New York City when you could be in Florida? The flight to West Palm Beach is quicker than driving to the Hamptons for a summer weekend.

Just picture yourself in this house, Bamboo Hill, located on almost an acre of land on an exclusive street 10 minutes from the airport. Inspired by plantation architecture and exotic travel, internationally renowned interior designer Lars Bolander created the home for himself and his wife, artist Nadine Kalachnikoff.

The property includes the main house, two one-bedroom guest cottages, a swimming pool with a pavilion, lush gardens, and a tropical fruit orchard. The main house has a large living room, soaring ceilings, and open beams; a series of French doors open to the terrace and gardens, creating seamless flow between interior and exterior. All bedrooms open to balconies or outdoor areas, affording maximum exposure to the tropical gardens. The unique dine-in kitchen is comfortable but elegant, ideally suited for entertaining family and guests.

The house is listed for $5.1 million. For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Sylvia James (561-371-0303, sjames@fitegroup.com) or Pat McInerney (561-758-0759, pmcinerney@fitegroup.com) of The Fite Group.
