When you make your living making people smooth, it stands to reason that your house should be smooth, too. And it doesn’t come much smoother than the endless expanses of marble at 4852 S Peninsula Drive in Ponce Inlet.
This old-world-aping mansion along the Halifax River in Volusia County is the home of Pevonia skincare owners Phillipe and Sylvie Hennessy. It’s full of little touches of wealth, adding up to an overwhelming feeling of money in every room. Statuary and fountains dot the brick-paved and winding driveways. Tile mosaics lead into grand foyers of blindingly white stone. A glance up at the chandeliers will reveal frescoes on surrounding domes.
A look into the offices reveals ornate woodwork imported from Morocco. Once off work, you can head through 700-year-old imported doors into a wine cellar in search of something to take the edge off. A stunning cylindrical dining room done up in gold accents sits under a stained glass roof that throws further shades of blue and gold. A ton of money was spent making this house exactly what the Hennessys wanted and it shows.
The riverfront home boasts six beds, nine baths and more than 12,000 square feet under its roof. The listing is represented by Chaddlar Going of Coldwell Banker. The sellers are asking for $7.9 million.
