214 S Beach Road Jupiter Island

214 South Beach Road | Jupiter Island A rare treasure: The Historic Gate House was one of the first properties developed on Jupiter Island by prominent Palm Beach architect Maurice Fatio in 1927. The Spanish Colonial Revival compound with four buildings sits on approximately 1.9 acres and is rich in history and lush tropical plant life. Deeded beach access to the pristine beaches of Jupiter Island is steps away from the home.

Upon entering the magnificent compound, you’ll find all four buildings reflect versions of the identifying style of Spanish Colonial Revival - whitewashed stucco, barrel tile roofs, and elliptical openings. The historic buildings include the main house (“Gate House”), the Carriage House (where Edsel Ford kept his carriages), and the pool house, affectionately referred to as the “donkey house.” Most famously, Broadway playwright and previous owner Philip Barry found his inspiration in the main house tower where he wrote “The Philadelphia Story.” The landscape design is credited to landscape architect Richard K. Webel and includes grasses, shrubs, banana plants, and palms.

The Gate House is one of the most significant historic buildings on Jupiter Island. The preservation of the home is in great condition with the integrity of the original design and individual architectural features. The enchanting home is offered furnished with the opportunity to build an addition up to 4,020 Sqft.
