TOUR OF HOMES

List of Homes

(1) The Bary Home, 1561 Brookgreen Drive, Plantation Pointe.

Tennis anyone? This 4,200-square-foot residence offers its active homeowners a choice between the private tennis court, backyard pool (with fountains) and an indoor gym with view of the spacious back yard. For their more laid-back hours, a favorite spot is the spacious screened porch off the pool/patio area. But don’t miss the cozy second-floor "play" area - for kids of all ages!

(2) The Blank Home, 5715 N. Ocean Boulevard.

With ocean views from nearly every room and a spacious second-floor screened porch to catch the ocean breezes, this classic beach "cottage" is a beachcomber’s delight. There’s even a private cabana at water’s edge for changing and freshening up apres surf! Originally built in the 1940s, the home was virtually rebuilt and modernized by its current owners in a comfy blend of traditional and contemporary styles. And with seven bedrooms, guests are most welcome!

(3) The Farrar Home, 95 Red Wolf Trail, Black Creek Plantation.

It’s always tee time at this 7,800-square-foot Southern contemporary home, with its backyard putting green - an exact replica of the 13th hole at the Masters' Course in Augusta! But if golf’s not your game, there’s also an upstairs lounge with ping-pong table, a pinball machine and pool table. Or just stroll the home’s three-acre grounds with lush plantings and its own creek.

(4) The Godwin Home, 9047 Marina Parkway, Bal Harbor/Grande Dunes.

If hoops are your game, you’ll love this contemporary Mediterranean home complete with its own regulation-size, indoor basketball court! Afterward, chill out in the lap pool or relax in the media room. The main house features travertine marble floors, 23-foot ceilings with crystal chandeliers, paneled fabric walls and a richly paneled library; there’s also a two-bedroom guesthouse with full kitchen adjoining the basketball court and six-car garage.

(5) The Lackey Home, 3031 Holly Berry Court, Black Creek Plantation.

There’s plenty of room to roam in this Southern contemporary family home - over 5,000 heated square feet - yet there are also lots of cozy spots to curl up with kids, guests, crafts or a good book. Reflecting its owners’ family focus, the home features bold primary colors and an enormous second-floor play area, at the top of a bright-red spiral staircase. Don’t miss the warm-toned entrance floor, recycled from a barn on Scott Lackey’s great-grandparents’ farm.

(6) The McIntyre Home, 1750 Cliffwood Drive, Grande Dunes.

A sportsman’s paradise, this 6,500-square-foot neo-classical home is the perfect setting for trophies of the owner’s extensive hunts from North America to Africa.  In addition to the elegant, masculine library with its floor-to-ceiling mahogany bookcases, traditional furnishings create a relaxing mood. But don’t miss the beautifully landscaped backyard with its luxurious pool, walking paths and gazebo.

(7) The Queener Home, 115 Red Wolf Trail, Black Creek Plantation.

First impressions of this stylish contemporary home are likely to be the 20-foot-high stone entry with its iron and mahogany front door, full round transom window and 18-light iron chandelier. But this 7,500-square-foot residence is a family home with lots of amenities for an active family. Two covered lanais overlook a pool with hot tub and waterfall, an outdoor fire pit and a sports court; indoors, a cozy entertainment center provides the perfect spot for relaxing.
