The home, known as Villa Okto, is a 2 story modern estate with 20,000 square feet of interior living space. The 9-bedroom home comprises 10 full bathrooms with 4 half baths. It has a wonderful chef’s kitchen, a commercial elevator, impact-resistant doors with a 40′ opening, and an enormous rooftop terrace. There are 5 garage spaces for your treasured collection. The guest home comprises 1 bedroom (of the 9) with 2 bathrooms. There is an elevated cabana with a full bathroom plus a 2 bedroom (of the 9) 2 bathroom staff quarters with a full kitchen. The home has an 80′ lap pool and is fully furnished. The masterminds behind the design are Todd Glaser (with Touzet Studios) of Miami, known for the Hogan home and has appeared on HGTV.

Just as Jorge Perez has been heralded as the King of Condominiums, Todd Michael Glaser can be called the Heavenly Father of Homes. While other real estate developers are working with a plethora of inventory, buyers are lucky to get their hands on a property developed by Todd Glaser, to the point where Ugo Columbo purchased The Fisher Estate when Glaser was only half done with the renovations. ~ HauteLiving.com
