New mud set 10x60 porcelain plank floors throughout. Bathroom vanities updated with quatzite Cathedral ceilings, split bedrooms, primary suite with soaking tub and walk-in shower. Amenities within the development inlcude Resort pool, Har-Tru tennis, fitness center, billiards, banquet hall. THE ADDRESS THAT ANNOUNCES ITSELF There are communities in Wellington that look nice from the outside. Then there's Versailles. The moment you turn off 441 and pass through the guard gate, the neighborhood makes its position clear. A long, palm-lined drive leads you through a multi-million dollar entry flanked by tiered fountain architecture. The stone chateau facades, the French-inspired rooflines, the curated landscaping — Versailles was built by Transeastern Homes between 2003 and 2006 with one directive: build the finest estate community in Wellington. Four hundred and fifty single-family homes across three villages — Ariste, Provence, and Chapelle Royale — designed to feel like a European estate neighborhood, not a South Florida subdivision. Luxury homes for sale in Versailles Wellington rarely reach the market at this price point with this level of interior transformation already done. This one just had both. --- WHAT WAS JUST DONE TO 3517 COLLONADE DRIVE The kitchen is the story here — and it was done right. Custom rift oak cabinetry — painted to an owner-specified white tone that no catalog kitchen can replicate — with clean architectural lines and brushed gold hardware throughout. Rift oak is a premium cut prized for its tight, straight grain; painting it to a custom white rather than buying pre-finished boxes is a millwork decision, not a renovation shortcut. The island anchors the space with a thick-edge profile, dark lower cabinetry, and gold bar pulls. Counters are HanStone Aurelia quartz — a white base with soft gold movement running through it, understated enough to live with daily and elevated enough to show in every photo. The result is a kitchen that doesn't look like a renovation. It looks like a decision. The appliance package matches the design intent. Café induction stove and Café dishwasher — a brand that sits in the same conversation as Wolf and Sub-Zero without the pretension. The refrigerator is a 42-inch Décor panel-ready unit, built flush to the cabinetry so the kitchen reads as a continuous design rather than an appliance showroom. The illuminated glass-front display cabinet with interior lighting and black framing is the kind of detail designers charge extra to specify. It's already in. The butler's pantry adds a full secondary prep zone with matching cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, white quartz counters, and the same gold hardware running throughout. This is a kitchen designed for people who actually cook and for people who entertain. It handles both without compromise. Floors throughout the home are 10x60 porcelain planks with a 1/32 grout line — wood-look without the vulnerability to Florida humidity, with a tight line that reads seamless rather than tiled. Interior walls are Benjamin Moore White Dove. Exterior is Sherwin-Williams Alabaster. Some windows feature black roller shades — a modern detail that gives living spaces genuine light control without hardware that fights the design. The bones underneath were already strong. Cathedral ceilings the moment you walk in — 22 feet in the entry. Open floor plan with natural light throughout. The split bedroom layout puts the primary suite on one side and the secondary bedrooms on the other — the configuration every family eventually wishes they'd prioritized. The primary suite delivers. Tray ceilings, private access to the back patio, walk-in closet. Dual sinks, soaking tub, walk-in shower. Bathroom counters are quartzite — a natural stone that performs harder than marble and shows better than engineered alternatives. The finish level is consistent with the kitchen: everything selected by someone who knew what they were doing. Four-bedroom homes in Versailles Wellington at this price with this kitchen package don't sit on the market. --- THE COMMUNITY Versailles Wellington operates on a different level than most guard-gated communities in Palm Beach County. The 24-hour manned gate sets the tone. The amenity package runs deep: Olympic-sized heated resort-style pool, children's pool, spa, Har-Tru tennis courts, half basketball court, fitness center, billiards room, card room, meeting rooms, and a banquet hall. HOA covers cable, landscaping, common area maintenance, and security. The clubhouse is actively being updated — you're buying into a community that is investing in itself, not coasting on its original build. --- SCHOOLS Panther Run Elementary is your assigned school — ranked in the top 5% of Florida elementary schools statewide, 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools, 84% math proficiency and 83% reading. Families move to this part of Wellington specifically because of Panther Run. Polo Park Middle School is a magnet school with a Gifted and Talented program and Project Lead The Way curriculum — the applied engineering and sciences track that college-bound students compete to get into. For high school zoning, buyers should verify current boundaries directly with the Palm Beach County School District before purchasing. School boundaries in this part of Wellington have seen activity with the opening of Dr. Joaquín García High School nearby, and the district's address locator will give you the accurate current assignment for this address. --- THE EQUESTRIAN ANGLE This is a four-bedroom luxury home in Versailles Wellington — and Versailles pulls a specific type of buyer. Wellington International, home of the Winter Equestrian Festival, the largest and longest-running show jumping competition in the world, is approximately 15 minutes away. The National Polo Club is in the same corridor. Riders who compete at the highest levels in the winter circuit have been choosing Versailles for years because it puts them close to the show grounds while keeping them inside a residential community that actually feels like a neighborhood. If your buyer is in the horse world, they already know what this address means. --- SPORTS AND YOUTH PROGRAMMING The Wellington Sports Academy — a $38 million, 115,000 square foot indoor training facility at Village Park — is currently under construction. Founded by 10-year NFL veteran Jon Bostic, it will be the largest training facility in Florida, serving 12 sports including baseball, basketball, volleyball, and soccer, with an academic and college placement program built in. Families buying into Versailles Wellington now get in before it's finished. --- DINING CLOSE BY The 441 corridor has built a real dining scene. Copper Hawk American Grille is a local favorite — the kind of place Wellington residents go on a Tuesday night and mean it. Duffy's Sports Grill is close for casual nights. Heading east, the PGA National corridor adds Ironwood Steak & Seafood and the full resort dining circuit twenty minutes away. Rosemary Square in West Palm Beach is thirty minutes for the nights that call for something more. --- LOCATION Versailles sits at the intersection of Lake Worth Road and 441 — one of the most connected positions in western Palm Beach County. The Turnpike is minutes in either direction. PBI is 15-20 minutes. Fort Lauderdale is about an hour south. The beach is thirty minutes east. Wellington Regional Hospital is a short drive up 441.
