If you weren’t looking for Crystal Falls subdivision you might pass nearby without ever knowing it was there. Nestled between single-family homes on large lots, this gated neighborhood gives several well-known locals a place to live peacefully while being convenient to everything.
So far, the lovely four-bedroom, two-bath home at 6810 49th Court has had bachelor owners since it was built five years ago. The first was an engineer who custom-designed all the extras needed for entertaining weekend guests as well as occasionally working from home.
The current owner is a retired bachelor who loves to travel and bought the home as an investment but was attracted to the details the previous resident had designed. He recently found a smaller oceanfront condominium which is perfect for when his travel bug bites and he wants to just lock the door and get on a plane. He put this 2,262-square-foot property up for sale just a few weeks ago so it is fresh for viewing, listed at only $325,000.
The features that attracted two consecutive bachelor owners will be exactly the same ones that make this a perfect property for a family or seasonal resident as well. The kitchen dominates as the heart of the home – set direct center between the two halves of this spacious house. It is also the first sight beyond the formal entryway after one passes through the covered porch from the brick-paved driveway. Offering stainless Whirlpool appliances, light oak cabinetry with under-counter lighting and a center island, it is open and airy. Voluminous 12-foot ceilings enhance the light which streams through the two windows at the far end of the kitchen in a wide eat-in dining area. A cozy built-for-two breakfast bar allows guests to sit and visit while meals are prepared or to grab food from the counter to enjoy by the screened pool just around the corner.
To the left of the kitchen is the formal living room with enough space for a dining table looking over the pool through sliding glass doors. There also is a smaller bedroom which would make a great office, library or work room if a fourth bedroom is not needed.
The en suite master bedroom is just through the living room, conveniently located near the laundry room and storage closet. Sliders open the master up to the patio and pool while also looking out at a community lakes equipped with a picturesque fountain. The suite includes two large walk-in closets along with a spacious bathroom, which offers double vanities, a whirlpool soaking tub and a separate commode room.
Both the master and main bathrooms have Roman walk-in showers, with a separate dedicated water heater for the master bath. The Roman showers, a compelling custom feature usually found only in high-end luxury homes, reduce bathroom maintenance by eliminating the need for glass doors or shower curtains. They are also a wonderful feature for anyone who has issues with walking or stepping over a ledge into a bathtub shower stall.
The other two bedrooms feature carpeting with extra padding for luxurious comfort; they share the second bathroom, which is located to the right of the kitchen.
The oversized 30-foot by 22-foot garage is also on this side of the house. It has a dark-tiled floor that is easy to keep clean and offers a great space to park a boat or recreational vehicles, in addition to the family cars. There is also a built-in workshop for puttering on small projects in this immaculate garage.
So whether this property is needed as a bachelor retreat, a home away from home during the winter months or as a place to raise a family, it has plenty to offer to any size or style of family. It also has the bonus of being located in quiet part of west Vero in a gated subdivision with its own private tennis courts, just around the corner from the Sandridge and Bent Pine Golf Clubs, if you want to take on 18 championship holes.
“The owner bought the land and custom built this house to suit what he needed and what he liked,” said Coldwell Banker Paradise listing agent Vilmar Pires. “There are only 76 homes in [Crystal Falls] and all of the homes are not the same, so they do not all look like each other. This is one of the newest homes in the neighborhood.”
This home is in like-new, move-in condition. For a tour or additional details, call Vilmar Pires at 772-473-0867.
