Rock and Roll Meets Tropical Paradise: Styx's Chuck Panozzo Lists His Private Retreat, La Serenidad
Chuck Panozzo, co-founder and bassist of the iconic rock band Styx, is saying goodbye to his private tropical retreat, La Serenidad, located in the artsy Wilton Manors neighbourhood near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The home, built in 1952, is currently on the market for $1.75 million[1].
La Serenidad offers a harmonious blend of peace, privacy, and just enough rock-and-roll spirit to keep life interesting. The outdoor areas, a tranquil oasis, include koi ponds, fountains, teak sculptures, bonsai and Ashoka trees, and whimsical animal-shaped hedges[2][3]. These spaces also feature a shaded gazebo for meditation, secluded spots for reading, and sunny poolside spots for entertaining[4].
The home's interiors, with warm wood finishes and custom craftsmanship, complement the serene outdoor setting[5]. La Serenidad boasts two bedrooms, a home office that could be converted into a third bedroom, and three bathrooms[6].
Juan Zapata and Susan Rindley of ONE Sotheby's International Realty are handling the sale of La Serenidad[7][8]. Panozzo, known for hits like "Babe," "Lady," and "Mr. Roboto," and still actively tours with the band Styx, is ready for a change of scenery after more than 15 years in La Serenidad[9].
Panozzo plans to move into a new luxury building in downtown Fort Lauderdale, closer to the city's growing arts and culture scene[10]. In the past, Panozzo has lived in high-rises in Chicago and Miami[11]. He purchased La Serenidad in 2007 for $305,000[12].
While specific details about the history of La Serenidad were not provided in the available search results, further information would likely detail its serene and private nature as a tropical hideaway. Interested buyers have the opportunity to acquire not only a home but also a collection of art and sculptures[1].
