A pair of neighboring Florida mansions that were built for identical twins are now on the market for $54 million.
Chiropractor Robert Lewin built one of the houses in Southwest Ranches for himself, his wife Lisa and their four daughters, and the adjacent one for his identical twin brother, Harley Lewin, and his two sons.
The stunning homes – one with seven bedrooms and the other with five – sit in 11 gated acres and are separated by a huge lake complete with fountains.
Robert Lewin is best known for launching 1-800-411-PAIN, an attorney-referral service for victims of accidents.
Robert said he and Harley have always lived close by – with the first homes they lived in as adults being four houses apart. He told the Wall Street Journal that being away from his brother is like ‘trying to clap with one hand’.
‘Being twins, we’ve always been so close, so it didn’t feel right not living close to one another,’ Robert said. ‘Of course, during COVID, having our families together on this beautiful property was a great benefit and made it much more manageable.’
Completed in 2020, both residences were designed by architect Jeffrey Dungan with interior design by Josh Fein of Fein Zalkin Interiors.
