Vero Isles waterfront playhouse for large family

Some houses just have a peaceful, relaxing and happy energy and 210 Sea Gull Ave. on McKee Point in Vero Isles is one of those places.

Maybe it’s the elegant, yet completely un-stuffy design of the home. Or it could very well be the gorgeous view of the deep-water canal and Royal Palm Pointe just across the way. The tranquil trickling sound of the waterfall cascading from the waterfront spa to the swimming pool adds to the serenity, as does the lush landscaping that wraps the more than a of third-acre property in a green blanket of seclusion.

“Waterfront homes are prized investments. Living in this Vero Isles oasis will make enjoying the Vero Beach lifestyle simple – swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating, and a plethora of water sports await,” said Kimberly Hardin Thorpe, broker/co-owner of Treasure Coast Sotheby’s International Real Estate.

Designed to bring the outdoors in with views from the master suite, a guest bedroom, the living room, family room, and the upstairs bonus room with sun deck, the house makes the most of its waterfront focal point.

Inside the home’s 3,575 square feet of living space, there are so many closets, cabinets, pantries, built-ins and storage areas that it’s possible for even a large family with lots of that “stuff” we all accumulate to live without clutter. And if there’s no room in the house, the expanded two-car garage has a huge extra one-car sized workshop area with a wall of cabinets.

But to say that this home facilitates a simple, uncluttered lifestyle is not to say that it’s cold or impersonal in any way. From the moment you walk up to the rich, intricately carved wooden double doors and cross the threshold of the home you are drawn in and surrounded by warmth. The comforting earth tones and texture of all the various tiles and surfaces chosen for the living areas, the kitchen and the bathrooms give the home an earthy feel, which is perfectly accented by the pale greens of the walls and set off by the craftsmanship of the white crown moldings. The feeling flows from room to room effortlessly.

Apart from the waterfront location and vistas, one feature that might cause a buyer to fall in love with this home is the room-length built-in custom cabinetry in the formal dining room. Picture a whole wall of glass-windowed china cabinets with cupboards below to stow away dishes and centerpieces and gravy boats and soup tureens where they’re accessible to actually use more than twice a year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Add to that a room-length buffet for entertaining. Three separate pantries in the hallway just off the kitchen plus an oversized side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator-freezer means the new owner will always be fully stocked to handle impromptu celebrations.

A wet bar in the family room is conveniently adjacent the pool area, as is a full cabana bath – features that make this home even more practical and welcoming to guests.

Whoever buys this home might want to get a boat, if they don’t already have one or two.

“This home is great for any boating enthusiast. It is close to Intracoastal access with space for both a sailboat and additional lifted powerboat,” Thorpe said.

“More and more buyers are looking for lifestyle rather than a specific location,” she added, but this home offers both.

With all the high-end features, space and storage a large family could want, plus a location that’s walking distance from great restaurants, shopping and watering holes, and only minutes from the beach or from the heart of Downtown, there’s a reason why Vero Isles is a popular mainland choice for the area’s professionals with growing families and its active retirees alike.

The home, which is 2001 concrete block construction, has been recently reduced in price by $100,000 and is listed at $1,150,000.
