The home at 2217 Falls Circle in The Falls at Grand Harbor is entered through a tropical courtyard, a place where nature becomes part of the interior. With the house built around the courtyard, the main rooms open to a screened lanai that encompasses the length of the house.
Set among lush landscaping, a Grecian pool sparkles invitingly, and swim-out benches provide a spot for guests to lounge while enjoying a cocktail or cooling off as they read a favorite book. Covered areas provide shelter from the sun, and there’s even room for a summer kitchen.
“This house is so low-maintenance,” notes Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices listing agent Chip Landers, pointing out the low-maintenance brick pavers on the pool deck, the impact glass and the tile roof. Even the vinyl plank flooring is waterproof and scratchproof, so that you don’t have to worry about kids or pets as they run through the house.
Once inside, the interior is a welcome contrast to the casual vibe outside. Fine craftmanship pervades the home, with deep baseboards, along with tray and coffered ceilings. Wood and vinyl plank flooring offer a nice contrast to the clean lines of the space. Another contemporary design feature is the frosted glass interior doors, which provide plenty of privacy as well as letting in light.
The “front” door is situated near the rear of the pool deck and opens into the center of the house. To the left, the formal living room is just enough off the beaten path so that anyone seeking a few moments of quiet can use this space to be alone. There’s even a small patio off this room with an outdoor berm ensuring complete privacy.
Plenty of light flows through numerous sets of sliding glass doors and windows on the western side of the home. The long transom windows also let in the sunlight while maintaining privacy.
The master suite is also on this side of the split plan layout, so that the owners can enjoy their own private space when guests are in residence. The spacious suite is oh, so lovely with a posh bathroom with marble floor and walls, a walk-in shower, soaking tub, water closet, dual sinks and double walk-in closets with built-ins.
A powder room sits just off the entryway easily accessible when guests stop by for a visit before heading into the kitchen, breakfast nook and family room. Wanting to create a more formal environment, the owner chose to use the family room as a formal dining area. She can throw open the triple slider during dinner parties so guests can mill about by the pool before sitting down for dinner.
“It’s a very flexible plan. They thought it out very well,” says Landers.
A laundry room and built-in desk are strategically placed in the hallway leading to the two-car garage. Also, in this wing of the house are two guest rooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom with an outside door so it can double as the pool bath.
With the laundry room nearby, cleanup is a breeze. In the garage, there’s an air-conditioned space that can be used for storage, as a studio or converted into a cabana, which opens onto the lanai.
“This is a very walkable place. People love to ride their bikes throughout the community,” points out Landers, adding that Grand Harbor is conveniently located with both medical services and shopping and dining nearby.
Residents of The Falls enjoy Grand Harbor’s many amenities from their own secluded haven. Those amenities include two championship golf courses, tennis, a marina, bocce as well as dining. A trip over the river leads to the members-only barrier island beach club. Membership options are available, including golf, tennis or social. Within the community, slips at the sheltered harbor and marina are available for lease through Suntex and provide easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean via Fort Pierce and Sebastian inlets.
