MODERN MAJESTY ON THE WATER

Inside 2914 North Flagler Drive

By John Dake

In a city defined by light, luxury, and lifestyle, one property stands alone as a contemporary monument to the art of elevated living: 2914 North Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach. Perched along the shimmering Intracoastal Waterway and just minutes from the heart of Palm Beach society, this brand-new residence defies comparison, not simply because of its size or price tag, but because of its rare fusion of architectural intent, modern engineering, and soul-stirring design.

Elevated Design,
Inside and Out This is no ordinary waterfront residence. Set 10 feet above sea level, the home was purposefully designed to account for flood zones and future resilience, allowing it to stand securely above the shoreline while maximizing every inch of view.

Architect David Lawrence designed the home to capture the spirit of the water with 12,730 square feet under roof, including 8,540 square feet of interior living space. Its striking silhouette features expansive planes of floor-to-ceiling glass, complemented by oversized terraces, cantilevered rooflines, and clean stucco finishes that reflect the natural tones of Florida’s skies and sand.  

The forward-thinking design was brought to life by Tri General Contractors, with landscape design by John Lang, resulting in an elegant yet organic connection between the home’s form and its lush surroundings. It’s a structure built not just to impress but to inspire—and more importantly, to live in with freedom and ease. 

Living Artfully
From the moment you walk through the pivot-style entry door, the tone is set: modern, warm, luminous. The grand foyer opens into an impressive great room, where 12-foot ceilings and full-height windows direct your gaze to the water beyond. The space is designed for fluid entertaining, with dining and living zones that accommodate everything from large-scale gatherings to intimate nights in.

Adjacent lies a chef’s kitchen that will make any culinary enthusiast swoon. With custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and a massive center island that doubles as a social hub, it seamlessly connects to both the interior living areas and the outdoor terraces. Entertaining flows naturally to the outdoor summer kitchen, which anchors the home’s covered loggia and pool deck.  

Just steps beyond, an infinity-edge pool stretches toward the Intracoastal, accompanied by a sunken spa, lounge zones, and a gas fire pit area—ideal for both sunset cocktails and moonlit conversations.  

Private Luxury, Perfectly Executed
The home offers seven bedrooms, eight full baths, and two half baths, each defined by elegant finishes and intentional layouts. The primary suite is nothing short of a sanctuary: over 400 square feet, with its own private terrace, spa-like bathroom, oversized walk-in closet, and floor-to-ceiling views that create the illusion of sleeping above the sea.

Additional bedrooms offer ensuite baths and water or garden views, making them equally suitable for family, guests, or office conversions. There is also a dedicated media room with integrated tech, a wet bar, and flexible space to transform into a home theater or library.  

Even the utilitarian features reflect a high standard: elevator access to all levels, a four-car garage, smart home automation, impact-resistant windows, and a 150-kW whole-house generator ensure both luxury and preparedness are always in sync. 

Rooftop Revelry & Waterfront Wonder
One of the most compelling features of 2914 North Flagler Drive is its expansive rooftop terrace. A rarity in the area, this elevated retreat offers sweeping views of the West Palm Beach skyline and shimmering waters below. Outfitted with a built-in fire feature and multiple seating areas, it’s a true penthouse-level experience—without the need for a high-rise.

The deepwater dock and 50,000-pound boat lift offer direct Intracoastal access and can accommodate larger vessels, making this home a dream for boating enthusiasts. Imagine launching your yacht steps from your back door, heading out for a day on the water, and returning in time for a glass of rosé on the rooftop as the city begins to glow. 

A Neighborhood of Prestige
Located in the coveted Northwood Shores neighborhood, the home offers a tranquil enclave just minutes from the best of Palm Beach. From the renowned shops of Worth Avenue to the culture of The Norton Museum, the beaches, the Breakers, and the Palm Beach International Airport, everything is within arm’s reach.

And unlike more crowded areas further south, North Flagler Drive offers space, privacy, and serenity—ideal for those who seek the Palm Beach lifestyle without sacrificing peace and seclusion. 

The Verdict:
Statement Living This home is not about over-the-top opulence. It’s about balance. It’s about movement. It’s about light, structure, and purpose. Every inch was considered, every angle optimized, every feature intentional.

It’s a statement property for the modern luxury buyer—someone who values quality, sustainability, style, and a seamless connection to the environment. Whether it’s the rich finishes, the intelligent layout, or the fact that it feels like an oceanside villa without being directly on the Atlantic, 2914 North Flagler Drive sets a new bar for Palm Beach waterfront living.

Homes of this caliber come along rarely, and even more rarely are they ready to live in from day one. This isn’t just another multimillion-dollar listing. It’s a future-forward estate, designed with architectural relevance, world-class comfort, and enduring value in mind.
