Listed at $9.2 million, a 1950s Palm Beach house underwent a down-to-the-studs renovation
In 2003, when Scott and Marisa Vesley were engaged, they chose to buy a house at 225 Jamaica Lane on Palm Beach's North End. 'We purchased it from (the late) Richard (Cromie) and Margaret Cromie when they moved to North Carolina. He was the pastor of Royal Poinciana Chapel,' Marisa says, before her husband picks up the story about the house. 'And then, we completely rebuilt it,' Scott adds. 'We jackhammered the floors, put in new electrical and plumbing, HVAC, everything. It was basically a new house. We just kept the exterior walls.' The house had attracted them because they wanted to reside in the North End, where Marisa had previously lived, she explains: 'I was already in love with that area, and coming from Chicago, Scott fell in love with it, too.' On a lot of about a quarter acre, the house is the fifth one from the ocean on the second street north of the Palm Beach Country Club. The Bermuda-style house itself, Marisa recalls, was built in the early 1950s and lacked a pool. 'It only had two bedrooms with a shared bathroom plus an office, so when we took everything down to the studs and started over, we reconfigured the floor plan to include ensuite bathrooms for the two bedrooms,' she says. 'And the following year, we put in the pool and added the 1,000-square-foot primary suite as a separate sanctuary from rest of the house.' The result is that the overall layout 'now flows beautifully,' Marisa says. 'We've enjoyed entertaining family and friends.' But the Vesleys are ready for a change, and although they plan to stay in the area, they've decided to sell. 'I want to build a new home plus I want a lap pool with a spa — and I want a gym,' Scott says. Marisa says her husband has a keen design sense and understood what the house on Jamaica Lane needed from the get-go. 'He's very talented. He built his homes in Chicago, and he redid this one. He's excellent at design,' Marisa says. The Velseys have listed the four-bedroom, five-bathroom house — with 3,931 total square feet of living space, inside and out — through Corcoran Group agent J. Richard Allison II. It's priced at $9.2 million. A deep-pink front door opens into the foyer, which is flanked by the living room and an office. The office has a bathroom, so it could be repurposed to serve as a guest-bedroom suite. Foot traffic flows from the living room to the family room and a dining area, which accesses the pool-view covered lanai and the adjacent summer kitchen equipped with an Alfresco grill and rotisserie. The dining area is open to the kitchen with a breakfast space that the Vesleys use as a sitting room. This side of the house is also home to a cabana bath for the pool, a laundry room and a one-car garage. On the east side of the family room, a hallway accesses two guest bedroom suites and the primary suite. The latter includes a walk-in closet-and-dressing room finished in zebra wood along with a bathroom equipped with a steam shower. During their overhaul of the house, the Vesleys completely renovated the kitchen, which features a work island. 'All the built-in cabinetry is custom by our millworker in Chicago and (was) brought here,' Marisa says. 'He had done the millwork for my husband's home in Chicago.' In 2022, they refreshed the kitchen, 'I wanted to rework the layout a little, and we added new appliances and Walker Zanger Alhambra limestone countertops and backsplashes,' Scott says. Other recent improvements include the addition of a new tankless hot-water system and the replacement of the roof in 2023. They also replaced two of the three air-conditioning units this year. Interior details include French limestone floors; plantation shutters at the windows; tray ceilings in the living room, family room and main bedroom; and hand-blown Seguso glass fixtures from Venice. The family room features built-in cabinetry, and there's a projection/theater system in the main bedroom. The office suite has custom-designed wine storage for 300 bottles. Outside, the Vesleys' original renovations included new stucco for the walls, accented by wood details. They removed a circular driveway and installed a tabby one in front of the garage. They also enclosed the front yard within hedges and added tabby walkways. 'My husband installed Cashmere Zoysia grass, so we have beautiful green lawns, and I like to garden, so he had built two raised beds for me on the east side of the property where I can grow fruits and vegetables,' Marisa says. Although the Vesleys are excited about building a new home, they will always recall this residence's charms, she says. 'I will miss this house and the beauty and tranquility of the North End, with the proximity to town, the large beach (nearby) and the Lake Trail at the end of our street.' Scott adds: 'It's been a great house for entertaining. It's light filled, fun and a great party house.' He has also appreciated the house's smart-home technology 'with audio, visual, thermostats all controlled by an iPhone.' But he's ready to move on. 'I need a new project — I'm bored,' he says with a smile in his voice. To see more photos of 225 Jamaica Lane in Palm Beach, click on the photo gallery near the top of this page.

The Lake Macquarie small businessman: ‘They pretend they are just like the man on the street'
'Bream, flathead, on the right day, the fishing's great here.' Todd Boorer feels a world away from Canberra. 'It's beautiful here, isn't it? The water, the beach, the view and all that. Just magic.' The second-youngest of 15 kids – '10 girls and five boys. Come on, make the joke … nothing on TV?' – family is the golden thread that runs through Boorer's life. He is a known quantity in these parts, on the shores of Lake Macquarie: in a half-hour discussion at least four people (none of them siblings) stop to say hello as they walk past. On the eastern bank is the electorate of Shortland; the green hills across the water are those of Hunter. Somewhere in the middle lies the dividing line but both have been long-time Labor strongholds. I run a mowing and yardcare business. It's busy now. I'm working six days a week and they are big days. When it's hot and then it rains, everything just grows and grows. You can't keep it down. We are flat out. My partner runs the Alfresco outdoor furniture factory down at Warners Bay and also does the night fill-up here at Woolies of a night. So we're flat out. I'm sore today, that's why I'm sitting here in the shade. I worked all weekend. We've just been busting out. If you get out and knuckle in, you just don't get much time for anything else. But I'm a surfer by nature. The best is my local, Frenchmans, at the back of Swansea Heads where I grew up. It goes unreal, I shouldn't be telling you, I'm breaking the code. The cost of living stuff and all that. Yeah, we've noticed the prices at the supermarket and all that go up. But you just have to adjust for it. Takeaway food, that's hitting everyone hard, especially for the people that live on that sort of thing. It must be costing them a fortune. We stay away from those fast-food joints because it's getting really pricey and it's crap. It's no good. We want to go overseas in the next year or two – Indonesia – so we're saving every penny we can. Dad was … stern at everything he believed in. Everyone had to chip in, everyone had to work, everyone had to do this and that. So I followed that my whole life. [All our family] see the world pretty similar I reckon, it was something that was ingrained in all of us from a very young age: you'll survive if you work. You've got to make your own way in the world. If everyone puts in and does their bit then everyone benefits from it, but it starts with you doing your bit. The kids are running round but I reckon they get that, they understand. Sometimes they need a bomb under 'em, but I reckon they're more switched on than I was. I wish I had thought it out a bit more, what I was going to do, that I had a bit more of a plan of attack. I walked out of Swansea High with my certificate in my hand and said, 'you beauty!' I think … one of the things that bugs people a lot [is] when politicians try to kind of be one of us, pretend they are just like the man on the street, because they're not. They've spent their life hidden away from us. So don't try to pretend to know what's going on at our level. They lie a lot. I never understood how they can promise to do something, say this is their policy, and then don't follow through. How are they allowed to do that? That frustrates a lot of people. We can't do that. If I've told Mrs Jones I'm going to come round and work on her yard, then that's what I'm going to do, and I'll do a good job. How can they say they'll give this much to schools or to nurses but then never do it? [But] Dad was a Labor man through and through, I've been on to that my whole life, because that's what he was into. Albo. What do you reckon? Is he going to get back in? Let's give him another go. Let's give him another go because he's not a bully. That's one thing about him that I don't mind, that he's not a bully.
