Styx co-founder Chuck Panozzo lists ‘private tropical’ Florida home for $1.75M


Styx co-founder Chuck Panozzo has put his Asian-inspired South Florida home on the market for $1.75 million. 

The two-bedroom, three-bathroom home is filled with a tropical Zen ambiance, including a swimming pool, koi ponds, Buddhas, topiaries and several sculptures. 

The 1,608-square-foot Florida home is listed by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, and is described as a “private tropical oasis” where the homeowner can “live the best of both worlds. Relax at your own sanctuary in the heart of Wilton Manors or party like a Rockstar, with the most amazing pool area.”

Panazzo, 76, who co-founded Styx with his late twin brother John Panazzo and singer and keyboardist Dennis DeYoung in 1972, bought the home in 2007 for just $305,000, according to the New York Post. 

“This house is special to me because of the magic it has,” Panozzo once told Gimme Shelter, the Post reported. “When I open the door and cross the koi pond and look around, I know I am safe and at home. It was a blank canvas on the perfect lot in the neighborhood, so I sold my Miami condo and I moved here. Every area became an environment that you can explore depending on your mood — whether I need to relax, reflect or turn up the volume after touring,” he wrote.
