Daniel DeCaro, CEO of DeCaro Luxury Auctions, said: “The gourmet kitchen at 1904 Bayshore Drive is like a cathedral for cuisine.

Water feature

“The Murano Venetian chandelier is the highlight of the room. It’s made up of 185 hand-blown glass pieces and serves as a great conversation-starter.

“Suspended above the home’s $120,000 custom AGA stove is a 4,000lb marble vent, making this kitchen a chef’s dream.

“Even the cabinets in the kitchen were hand carved. Like the estate, the kitchen is truly a piece of art.”
