It all seems so seasidey serene at this Nassau Bay property on the border of Bal Harbour Cove and Swan Lagoon. A mid-July initial listing, the 3-story $2.2 million property has water views from all its rooms. There’s a lakefront pool, a fire pit on a cantilevered deck, a pair of palapas, palm trees bending in the breeze, and a double-slip boathouse perched above the lapping waves. In the front yard, there’s a tiered waterfall. But inside, this rock-encrusted 2-story waterfall-with-aquarium in the entry is the real tipoff that while the home is on the water, its interior isn’t a driftwood-nautical knot kinda retreat:

Suspended from the ceiling, a glass table upwardly anchors the dining area:
There’s a lot of space in the intergalactic bar of the 3,693-sq.-ft. home, built in 1994:

For the media room and game room, head upstairs:
It’s a 4-bedroom home with 4 and a half bathrooms. Here’s the peek-a-boo master suite, complete with light display wired into the custom bed’s headboard and glass block base:
At 18,000 sq. ft., the pie-wedge lot has 235 ft. of shoreline. Its immediate neighbors include another private home and a row of townhomes on the other side of the access road. The Johnson Space Center is just across NASA Parkway.

Purple is my favorite color, but ye Gods talk about overdoing it! I can only imagine what fun the new owner will have painting or wallpapering those intergalatic designs on the walls. I honestly believe the homeowners could not decide whether this was a private home, a disco from the mid 70’s or a dirty picture studio.
The actual design is not bad, but I would definitely ask for a price break so I could have the funds to remodel.
Marie from Breaking Bad would love this house.
I swear that’s a house from the Jetsons!!
I do like the pool though. I hate to think what the insurance premiums on that property would be however.
Even the woofers, tweeters and mid-range horns in the master BR are purple. They match the lava lamp atop.
Wow -was the decorator a former Miami Vice set designer? Bwahahahaha!
I made many trips to Ft Lauderdale during the cocaine ‘eighties, and I thought I had seen some pretty appalling stuff , but leave it to Texas to beat all– and 30 years later too
I think I just singed my eyeballs. Thanks for nothing!
This house was at the end of the street I grew up on. I remember when it was built! Wow! I never knew their favorite color was purple!
Does that stripper pole in the middle of that table come with the stripper?
From the outside it looks normal, step inside, purple, teal and glass blocked gross.
I am still freaking out about the custom bed with the light display on the headboard and glass block. Seriously, who wants that going off in the middle of the night?
MC: All that dining room table is missing is a go-go dancer cage. If someone was paid to decorate that house, they should be sued for crimes against taste.
I disagree completely! While not to my taste, this home’s design is cohesive with a high level of coordinating detail. And the workmanship looks very good. Custom everything. The outside is the ugly part.

A Saint’s or Viking fan could loooove it.
Rather, an LSU Tiger or Viking’s fan could love this house.
The mirror above the bed is pretty much a guarantee the guy never gets laid.
