Mark Wahlberg has a palatial new property to call home. The Boogie Nights star and hamburger entrepreneur has shelled out $37 million for a fully furnished, Italian-inspired dwelling in sunny South Florida. The Delray Beach property is located within the ritzy gated community of Stone Creek Ranch.
Dubbed Palazzo di Lago, the nearly 18,000-square-foot contemporary manse was designed with “the tranquil glamour of Lake Como” and the “seductive allure of Bond’s Casino Royale,” as the listing description puts it. That design brief materialized in the form of no-holds-barred extravagance: At the end of a paved motor court, a grand portico entrance is flanked by waterfall fountains lined with white marble. That stately welcoming continues with a foyer featuring 30-foot-tall ceilings, modern crystal chandeliers, a winding staircase, a plant wall, and large slates of polished marble, and extra-glossy Brazilian Guyana wood. Seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, and two half-baths are found within the home, as are a game room equipped with a wet bar that seats seven, a movie theater, a hidden cigar lounge, two offices, two kitchens, a car gallery, and a wellness retreat.
