Exclusive | Whimsical $22.25M Florida mansion comes replete with hand-painted murals and an internal slide

Paint the town red — and many other colors while you’re at it.This colorful Boca Raton, Florida home, which features a dizzying array of inclusions — from hand-painted murals on the ceiling to a fish-shaped pool and an indoor slide — all for $22.25 million. That’s a significant discount from its $25 million asking price last year. The residence, at 1201 Marble Way, feels like a set for a fantastical film, or TV series — and it comes with 256 feet on the Intracoastal.“It’s one of a kind, European-inspired luxury living all the way,” said listing broker Sheldon Jaffee, of Lang Realty, adding the home was a “labor of love” for the Eastern European owners.The sellers, he added, are now “looking to downsize.”“It’s special.
