Overview

Description

This gleaming and dazzling waterfront home was once owned by William Pawley, whose son was engaged to legendary Elizabeth Taylor. The famous couple spent many romantic times at the property, enjoying countless hours by the pool, under the brilliant sun, and later, under the soft Miami moonlight. Completely renovated, the 7BR/9.5BA, lushly landscaped home makes beautiful use of large windows and glass doors, which allow in natural light and magical waterfront views.
