Located at 920 South Ocean, there are beautiful ocean views, a guest house, extensive landscaping and a private tunnel beneath A1A to the beach and ocean and a beachfront cabana.
The front exterior has alternating bands of red brick and coquina limestone, which caused the property to be dubbed “The Ham and Cheese House,” but it was formally known as Casa Elada.
The 3-story house has been renovated by its various owners and has landmark protection.
There are 3 fireplaces.
Included within the 22,253 living sq ft on an acre of land are 8 bedrooms plus a 2-bedroom staff apartment over the 4-car garage, a grand central courtyard with a pool, full basement and ornate ceilings with pecky-cypress beams, some hand painted, ornate stone carvings and other materials are used.
Maurice Fatio brought a new Italian style to Palm Beach that blended well with the Mediterranean architecture that already existed. He built many local homes for “high society” folks.
