Conceived in 1931 by Palm Beach heiress Lila Vanderbilt Webb and completed in 1933 by builder C.G. Warner, this walled and gated oceanfront compound sits on over 121 feet of direct Atlantic frontage in Gulf Stream's Palm Beach Shore Acres. The collaboration between Webb, her son, and architect Maurice Fatio produced a Mediterranean Revival estate whose materials were sourced directly from Addison Mizner's local factory, including original tiles and stonework.

Architecture & Mediterranean Revival Origins
Maurice Fatio, one of the most influential architects of Palm Beach's Golden Era, shaped the design in collaboration with Webb and her son. The estate drew on Mizner's design vocabulary: authentic Mizner-produced tiles, original stonework, and the layered Mediterranean Revival detailing that defined the region's most important residential commissions of the 1930s. Builder C.G. Warner completed the compound in 1933 as a walled, gated sanctuary on nearly a full acre.
The Compound & Grounds
The property encompasses 0.94 acres with four-car garage capacity. At the time of its construction, the swimming pool was the largest private pool in all of Palm Beach County. The walled and gated perimeter establishes the compound's separation from the surrounding streetscape, consistent with the privacy that has long defined Gulf Stream's oceanfront parcels.
Oceanfront Frontage
The estate commands over 121 feet of direct Atlantic Ocean frontage with ocean views. This scale of uninterrupted oceanfront land in Gulf Stream is rarely available and represents either a preservation opportunity for the original Fatio compound or a redevelopment site of significant proportions.
Location & Access
Gulf Stream is a low-density seaside town known for its historic character and privacy. The estate is moments from Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue and a short drive to Palm Beach.
