Description

Most waterfront homes give you one view. This one surrounds you with 180+ feet of it. Double waterfront isn't just a feature - it's a lifestyle that only a handful of properties in Boca can claim. Fresh from a complete transformation, 872 Lilac Drive doesn't apologize for being different. The design is clean, modern, unapologetically bright. Light wood floors lead you through spaces that actually make sense - a kitchen that opens instead of closes you off, rooms that breathe, a fireplace wrapped...Most waterfront homes give you one view. This one surrounds you with 180+ feet of it. Double waterfront isn't just a feature - it's a lifestyle that only a handful of properties in Boca can claim. Fresh from a complete transformation, 872 Lilac Drive doesn't apologize for being different. The design is clean, modern, unapologetically bright. Light wood floors lead you through spaces that actually make sense - a kitchen that opens instead of closes you off, rooms that breathe, a fireplace wrapped in stone that commands attention without trying too hard. The kitchen? White, crisp, built for someone who actually cooks. Or orders in. Either way, you'll look good doing it. Step outside and the real magic happens. Your pool. Your dock.
