Property Description
AN EXCEPTIONAL FIND! Bright and airy beachfront single-family home on an outstanding site in the intimate gated community of Atlantis. This home rests on almost two-thirds of an acre of beachfront property, with over 100 feet of frontage on the soft sands of Orchid Island in south Vero Beach. The tranquil, special locale allows you to meander from your backdoor through your manicured sea grapes and onto the peaceful, always uncrowded sands overlooking the jewel toned Atlantic Ocean. As you enter the sunlit home, stepping onto marble tile found throughout the main living space, the cathedral ceilings and windows immediately capture your gaze and direct it out to the sparkling sea. The home is designed cleverly, and from nearly every room in the house, you have a breathtaking view of the Atlantic! Stepping through the two-story foyer, into the living room with a soaring ceiling, notice the living room’s wood-burning fireplace, and past that, a spacious outdoor patio that spans the entire width of the home. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room and then kitchen, both with easterly views of the pool and the Atlantic. Conveniently located on the ground floor is the sizeable master suite with ocean views, fireplace and French doors that lead out to the patio. Cross the room to a walk-in closet, standalone vanity and sink, and then to the large ensuite sunlit bath with sink, shower, and separate deep soaking tub with elegant marble surround. In the main space, find the flexible room with built-in shelving which can be an office, family room or bedroom, walk further to find the generous laundry room/pantry, and finally a half bath. Upstairs, now with a height advantage, absorb the expansive beach and ocean views from the full-width east-facing deck. As you hear the waves roll, life feels sweet from this uncommon vantage point. There are two large bedrooms upstairs, each with exterior doors leading to the gorgeous viewing deck. The bedrooms are connected by an inside balcony, which-- yes, also has ocean views! A full bath completes the second level. Back downstairs, find the tranquil in-ground swimming pool with outdoor shower, and the outside stairs leading to the upstairs viewing deck. There is an abundance of storage space throughout this home. This residence is approximately 10 minutes south of the boutiques and fine dining on the Island and is very near The Moorings Yacht and Country Club (boat slips, golf, tennis, restaurant). It is also just 1.9 miles south of the respected St. Edward’s college preparatory day school, (Pre-K through 12th). Whether you chose to move right in, renovate this home, or use the exquisite homesite to build a new residence, this opportunity is not to be missed.
