About eight months ago, ex-model Elin Nordegren, the former wife of golf prodigy Tiger Woods, listed her extravagant oceanfront estate in South Florida for $49.5 million. November of 2019 finds the home surfacing on the open market once again, this time at $44.5 million. We’ll see what difference 10% makes as this beach house surfs this current wave of re-listing real estate news exposure.
The Caribbean plantation-inspired home is big. It’s flashy. Its glam is not for the faint of heart; those in doubt, cast your baby blues on the 3-story Swarovski chandelier that grows up from the first floor like a glistening palm. But as often as its 26,000 square feet of interior living space shows a chilly veneer of glamorous engineering, it also veers into Caribbean-style warmth.
Of the latter influences, the kitchen receives its due, and the wide-plank hardwood floors look marvelous against the laid-back cottage style, even as the twin-island design suggests formality.
The master suite is as large as expected; the bedroom is one of 11 on the property, the bath one of 17. Both feature impressive scale.
The home’s lot extends to 1.4 acres. Lawns, a pool with water slide and spa, and living and dining areas embellished with fire features help fill out the recreational lifestyle potential of this unusually large estate in Seminole Landing.
