Built in 1925, the ''Grand Dame'' of El Cid is the most important Historic waterfront home of its era in West Palm Beach. The architectural splendor of the roaring twenties is bountiful in this unique masterpiece from the soaring ceiling heights right down to the original hardware on the windows. After welcoming you with priceless Pecky Cypress radius top double entry doors, the wrought iron and ''cast in place'' concrete staircase dominates the entry foyer and serves as the centerpiece of the home. From there, the living and family rooms are graced with original French doors that lead to the open waterfront patio. The views from every room across the massive front lawn to the Intracoastal Waterway and Palm Beach are breathtaking. The formal dining room and recently updated gourmet kitchen and butler's pantry dominate the opposite side of the entry and are state of the art in appointments. A hardwood paneled library and powder room are off the entry foyer. Upstairs the views from the massive Master Suite are as you would expect...fabulous. Three additional bedrooms plus 2 baths and a large laundry make this the perfect home for both family and guests to enjoy. This spectacular waterfront home sits on a huge corner lot that boasts over 25,000 square feet of property and 138' of frontage along Flagler Drive. The large driveway, accessed from Valencia Road leads to a two car garage with a fully efficient guest house above it. This magnificent home has been updated to include, but not limited to, a fabulous gourmet kitchen, 2 new baths, barrel tile roofs, Icynene attic insulation, A/C systems, irrigation and new landscaping/outdoor lighting.
