Architecture & Design
John Volk remains one of Palm Beach's most prolific residential architects, responsible for hundreds of homes on the island between the 1930s and 1980s. This 1947 design reflects his command of proportion and siting on a quiet interior lane. Celerie Kemble Interiors, one of the most recognized names in Palm Beach decorating, handled the interior design, creating rooms that take full advantage of the home's generous window placement and open floor plan.
Interior Layout
The main level features an open plan connecting the principal living spaces. A spacious dining room leads to a library fitted with built-in shelving. The kitchen is fully appointed with a breakfast room adjacent, allowing casual dining with views to the grounds. Six bedrooms and six full bathrooms are distributed across the residence, with a half bath serving the common areas. The layout balances entertaining scale with private quarters across 4,844 square feet of air-conditioned space.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The 0.35-acre lot accommodates a large swimming pool with a cabana, a covered loggia, and both open and covered balconies. The loggia provides a shaded outdoor room suited to Palm Beach's climate for most of the year. A two-car garage serves the property.
Location & Access
Emerald Lane sits within the Stotesbury Park subdivision in Palm Beach's Near North End, a residential enclave set back from the ocean on quiet interior streets. The Near North End offers proximity to Worth Avenue and the Town of Palm Beach's commercial district while maintaining a residential character distinct from the Estate Section to the south. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive. Properties on interior lanes in this section trade at a premium relative to lot size because of the mature landscaping buffers and limited through-traffic that characterize streets like Emerald Lane.
