About this home

Tremendous riverfront estate offered at an incredible value with nearly 10.000 sq ft total on 3/4 of acre with 112' of linear shoreline and outstanding views from this point lot that subtly juts westerly into the intracoastal creating privacy and allowing for panoramic views. Enter the property over a stamped concrete drive that borders a lovely courtyard patio entryway comprised of Saltillo tiles that lead to the fabulous covered verandah supported by beautiful archways. The old-world charm continues as you enter through solid pecky-cypress doors into the grand foyer where custom tile work compliments heavy wood beams, artisan plaster and custom handcrafted appointments throughout. A total of 6 bedroom, 5.5 baths and multiple dining, relaxing and entertaining areas are situated within the 6256 sq ft of living spaces. A fabulous living room with volume ceilings over hardwood floors is home to one of three fireplaces. Just beyond, a waterfront all season room sits poolside appointed with rare hardwoods over more Saltillo floors leading to an amazing fireplace constructed of our native coquina limestone. The formal dining room with walk-in China and service pantry is just adjacent to the kitchen and separated by stunning handcrafted solid wood doors. A riverfront island kitchen with casual dining on the water opens directly onto the pool deck in one direction and out on the waterfront patio in another. A casual family room trimmed in solid cypress walls is the ultimate hangout after a day of boating or relaxing in the pool. 5 of the six bedrooms are located upstairs including two primary suites while an ample ground floor suite with full bath is the ideal guests in-law quarters. The original "Burley-Built" free form pool is perched high above the tree shaded waterfront gardens with meandering paths that lead to a sprawling patio and the custom dock beyond. The dock here is solid with two covered slips and one open air slip with a cradle lift for a larger vessel. This home was designed with an emphasis on storage and multiple walk-in storage areas and utility closets exist plus a full workshop and tackle room on the main level. Two car garage is oversized. The property has been loved by the same family for many decades and is ready for cosmetic updates and mechanical upgrades, however the the mid-century charm here is ready to be celebrated and emphasized for a spectacular finished product.

Beachside distances are straight-line to the nearest public beach access or ramp (Volusia County data); private walkovers owned by a building aren't in the county's data. "Oceanfront lot" means the county lot lines run to the beach with nothing but beach or dune in between (Volusia County parcel map). Mainland drive times and miles follow the roads, from this home to the quickest of the nearby beach accesses; they are estimates from a routing service (OpenRouteService), and actual times vary with traffic, traffic lights, season and events. Beach driving depends on the tide and the season; check the county's ramp status before you go.
