Candles lit before the guests arrive, the covered lanai already holding two conversations, saltwater air drifting through the open doors while someone refills glasses without being asked — the Palm Royale is built around that instinct, with a lanai designed for lingering, an open main floor that keeps the host inside the party, and a Mediterranean silhouette that makes the whole property feel like the evening started hours ago.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
The great room anchors the layout at just over 24 by 22 feet, with the kitchen and morning room feeding into it naturally so the whole main floor reads as one connected space. Three secondary bedrooms cluster to the left, the master suite sits opposite with real separation from the rest of the house, and the lanai stretches across the back of both.
Wrought Iron and Candlelight Set the Tone Before Anyone Sits Down
Black lacquered chairs, a candelabra sideboard, and an octagonal mirror pull off formal without feeling frozen in time.

Coffered Ceilings and Crimson Velvet Do the Heavy Lifting Here
Red velvet sofas anchor the seating with real authority, and the octagonal coffered ceiling above them — warm wood insets, wrought iron chandelier dropping through the center — gives the eye somewhere to travel before it comes back down. Paisley armchairs keep the room from reading as a museum. The armoire against the wall is quieter than everything else in here, which is exactly why it works.
Worth Knowing: Coffered ceilings create visual depth by recessing panels between structural beams, which also helps dampen echo in large rooms. Wood-toned finishes inside the coffers add warmth that painted versions don’t quite match. If you’re pricing one out, the complexity of the grid pattern drives cost more than square footage does.
Glazed Cabinetry and a Range Hood Built Like a Roman Arch Earn Their Keep
Cream glazed cabinets flank a professional range tucked under an arched stone surround, and the whole composition is confident enough that it doesn’t need much else. That red kettle on the burner is doing a remarkable amount of decorative work for its size.
History Corner: Roman-style arched niches like the one framing this range hood trace back to ancient domestic architecture, where they served as shrines to the household gods called Lares. By the Renaissance, the form had migrated into kitchen and hearth design as a symbol of warmth and domestic prosperity. Mediterranean revival builders of the early 20th century picked it back up, and it’s held on in that style ever since — which probably tells you something about how good the arch actually looks.
Magnolia Centerpiece, Wine Fridge Below, Glass Table Holding It All Together
Silk magnolia blooms sit high enough to catch the chandelier’s glow without blocking sightlines across the table — a harder balance to hit than it looks. Red woven placemats anchor each setting against the glass top, and a corner hutch with leaded glass doors keeps stemware close without turning into the room’s main event.
Fun Fact: Corner china cabinets with leaded glass doors became popular in American homes during the early twentieth century as a way to display fine dishware without dedicating an entire wall to built-ins. The angled corner placement pulls the eye naturally toward a room’s focal point — in a dining room, that’s always the table.
Dark Wood, Pale Walls, and a Ceiling Fan That Actually Belongs Here
A carved mahogany four-poster anchors the room without crowding it, and the palm-blade ceiling fan overhead reads tropical without tipping into kitsch. Ornate mirrors flank the bed on both sides, and the floral rug pulls the blue-gray of the walls all the way down to the floor.
Quick Fix: Plantation shutters do something blinds can’t: they let you control airflow and light independently. Tilt the louvers for a cross breeze while keeping direct sun off the bedding — in a room that opens to a pool lanai, that flexibility earns its place every single day.
Octagonal Soaking Tub Centered Like It Owns the Room
Travertine tile, a freestanding octagonal tub surround, and an arched mosaic niche pull focus the moment you walk in. Two vanities flank the space without competing with any of it.
- Drop-in soaking tubs with raised platform surrounds distribute weight across a wider floor area, making them viable in more homes than freestanding styles.
- Diagonal tile layouts like the diamond pattern on this niche wall create visual movement without changing the material.
- Symmetrical vanity placement with mirrored walls on both sides can make a wide bathroom feel longer than its actual footprint.
Screened Lanai with a Fire Bowl and Waterfall Running at the Same Time
A copper fire bowl and a cascading spillover feature share the pool deck without getting in each other’s way — fire and moving water tend to settle a space rather than compete for it. Wicker seating stays dry under the coffered covered porch while both run.
Pin It
The exterior shot shows the home lit at dusk, palm trees framing a paver driveway that curves toward a three-car garage. The floor plan below lays out four bedrooms, a great room, the covered lanai, and a master suite with separate his-and-hers closets.
