Lawrence and Beverley Fein know the snowbird route to Palm Beach well. The Toronto residents have been wintering in Palm Beach for 44 years.

They also know the South End of Palm Beach pretty well, too. Eleven years go, they moved from an apartment at The Atriums of Palm Beach to their third-floor northeast corner condominium with lavish ocean views at the Sloan’s Curve development, 2000 S. Ocean Blvd.

The reason for the move was to gain room to host their children and grandchildren. Today, however, the Feins have found they and their family aren’t traveling as often to Palm Beach.

“We used to stay four or five months a year,” Lawrence Fein explains. “Now we only come for a month or two. We have lots of friends in Palm Beach, so we will always come, but it will be easier for us to stay at a hotel.”

The wraparound balcony captures direct beachfront vistas and is accessed from several of the rooms.

And that means the Sloan’s Curve condo is on the market, priced furnished with a poolside cabana at $9.5 million.

With 3,262 square feet and a wraparound balcony, the size of their three-bedroom condominium has not been its only appeal, he adds.

“We chose it because it was spectacular in every aspect,” Lawrence Fein says, adding that the apartment was a blank slate when they bought it.

“It was all concrete when we bought it and we redid it totally. Houses are a kind of hobby to me, and we like to do (the decorating) ourselves. It came out perfectly,” he says.

The den has a loveseat with a pull-out bed that allows the room to accommodate guests.

With three-and-a-half bathrooms, the northeast-corner unit — No. 301N — is offered through Douglas Elliman agents Jaqueline Zimmerman and Adam Zimmerman. The condo will be sold with the poolside cabana the Feins bought three years ago, which they decorated to complement the décor of their condo. The condo also has garage parking for two cars.

The Feins say they have carefully maintained and updated their unit, which has marble floors throughout.

Built-in banquettes and a tray ceiling are part of the condo’s entry hall.

The living and dining rooms — along with the den and the kitchen — are positioned in the northeast corner of the apartment, as are a guest bedroom suite, a powder room and the laundry area. On the other side are the main bedroom suite and a guest bedroom suite.

As in the other rooms, the sliding-glass doors in the primary bedroom are fitted with impact-resistant glass.

The condo offers unobstructed water views, as all the major rooms open to the balcony and overlook the ocean. The view also looks out to a vacant piece of land to the north, which cannot be developed. The many sets of sliding doors feature impact-resistant glass, and the condo is equipped with a Crestron smart-home system.

The Feins’ apartment is on the far corner of the north building’s third floor at 2000 S. Ocean Blvd.

The built-in elements include two banquettes in the foyer and a bar with a refrigerated wine storage in the living room.

A custom-designed divider separates the main living area from the oceanview den. The top part of the divider houses a television that can drop into the cabinet below at the touch of a button, visually opening up the space. The den also has a loveseat with a fold-out bed so the space can double as a guest bedroom.

Open to the living area, the kitchen is finished with SubZero and Miele appliances, a glass-tile backsplash and dark-wood cabinetry that includes a breakfast bar and serving bar.

The main bedroom has two walk-in closets with custom fixtures, while the main bathroom features dual sinks, a walk-in shower and a soaking tub.

With a glass-tiled backsplash, the kitchen has a breakfast area with a built-in bar-height table.

Built in the early 1980s, the Sloan’s Curve development comprises two addresses — 2000 and 2100 S. Ocean Blvd. At both addresses are north and south buildings, each with 48 units. The Feins’ apartment is in the north building at No. 2000.

The Feins have enjoyed the community amenities, Lawrence says: “We have tennis, the pool is spectacular and there’s a wonderful gym.”

The development also has private beach access, and services include a full-time manager, gate-house security and a doorman.

The Feins three years ago purchased this pool cabana, which is included in the price of the apartment.

“If you really want the beauty of Palm Beach, you can’t get better,” he says. “Some people might like to live near Worth Avenue, but there are very few condominiums that you can buy on the ocean, and from a driving standpoint, we are on Worth Avenue in 10 to 15 minutes.”

Although the Feins are ready for a change, he adds, selling their unit is bittersweet.

“Our condo has the history we’ve had as a family with our kids and our grandchildren. Coming to our home here has always felt like we were going to paradise.”
