    What's special

    Your exclusive private waterfront estate is here. Welcome to 978 Fern Drive. This custom architectural masterpiece is a timeless blend of modern meets island. The one-third acre southeast point lot offers the absolute best waterfront exposure that not only bathes the entire resort styled heated beach entrance pool and infinity edge spa in sunlight but also provides tremendous shaded areas under the huge terraces and handpicked tropical trees ideal for escaping the direct sun and enjoying the waterfront breezes. This is also one of the unique and few areas of the Intracoastal where the view is only of other luxury homes; there are no Condo buildings located across the waterway. Highlights include massive wood-cased Caradco hurricane impact windows and doors that flood the entire home in sunlight; polished Jerusalem stone along with Brazilian hardwood floors that grace the entertaining areas; elevator access to all three floors; climate controlled walk-in 725 bottle wine cellar; four fireplaces; 350 gallon salt water live reef aquarium; chef's kitchen with multiple work stations and dual dishwashers; gorgeous office with wet bar and ice maker; whole house generator; 500 gallon propane tank; fully fenced and gated grounds; three car garage with motor court; 12,947 total square feet; two utility rooms; and six private suites. The master suite located on the second floor has his-and-her bathrooms with steam in his; individual walk in closets; fireplace; and a spectacular oversized terrace. The third floor houses a 1,100 square foot bonus room with full bar and a half bath with a 750 square foot terrace overlooking your very own paradise. Construction highlights include concrete floors on all three levels including the stairs; patio, pool and home built on pilings; concrete dock and dock pilings; extra insulation in attic; and amazing woodwork and trim throughout. Boasting a perfect location with 140 +/- feet of Intracoastal Waterway and 87 +/- feet on the side canal, this home is only eight miles to the Boca Raton Inlet and three and one-half miles to famous Atlantic Avenue. Enjoy year round paradise from this very special waterfront estate
