The lovely West Indies-inspired home at 2555 Lagoon Court is tucked away in one of the most desirable and private locations on the Treasure Coast – Orchid Isle Estates, a gated 4-home enclave on a small lushly tropical island south of the Wabasso Causeway.
The oak- and palm-shaded neighborhood promises seclusion and serenity, as does this spacious home at the head of a curving drive, with swaths of emerald lawn stretching out on all sides, perfectly punctuated by tropical landscaping.
The paver drive widens into a large courtyard large enough to accommodate chairs and dining space. Past the broad French entry doors is a large foyer with windows looking out upon a lovely white pergola and the expansive, park-like back lawn.
Inside, it’s all about space and light – plentiful, oversized windows and sliding glass doors allow sunlight to flow freely throughout the interior. High ceilings; large rooms; wide, gently arched doorways; a palette of restful whites and neutrals; and the sandy hues of the Crema marble sawtooth-edge tile flooring enhance the open, airy ambiance.
Before you leave the foyer, look up. Extending from the angled, warm wood ceiling is a captivating chandelier with strands of colored beads, blue, tan and white, descending in layered circles, in a waterfall effect. Quite stunning.
The living room is spacious and welcoming, with abundant room for furniture configurations. It, too, faces a window wall with sliders to the beautiful lanai. On the west wall is a handsome gas fireplace with clean-lined white surround; picture comfy chairs, a cozy small gathering, perhaps a dog or two. (The home has a dog fence and a dog door, in case the new owners bring pets.)
This handsome room will easily accommodate large gatherings – with sliders open, your party can spill out onto the lanais, pool deck and vast lawn. There’s virtually unlimited space for cookouts, alfresco dining, lounging. Plus, there’s an outdoor shower.
Inside and out, front and back, you’ll quickly see what a terrific home this is for entertaining.
The dining room offers a pleasant view onto the wide front courtyard and features another handsome chandelier.
The quartzite island kitchen, renovated in 2020-2021, is a sleek beauty. The blue and cream tiled walls look as if they had been transported from a villa in Tuscany.
This amazing kitchen also offers a Dacor 6-burner gas range, stainless range hood, double ovens, French door fridge, dishwasher and farmhouse sink.
There are long storage cabinets, a pantry and four handsome floating shelves. Recessed lighting is supplemented by a metal dome pendant. Even the most dedicated tuna sandwich fan will want to broaden his or her culinary horizons here.
A laundry room, half bath and access to the garage breezeway are conveniently near the kitchen.
The owner’s suite is a gorgeous sanctuary, featuring French Oak cathedral ceiling and a custom walk-in closet you could dance in. Adjacent is a spacious, sitting room/den/office/library. This flexible space features a long, floor-to-ceiling display shelf unit covered in sea blue linen-look fabric.
There are wide windows to the east, west and across the south wall, with access to the lanai. All you need do is lift your head from the pillow to start your day with that terrific view.
The owner’s spa-like bath has been updated with mosaic tiles, seamless showers with rain-shower heads, new countertops and a huge spa tub all in soft, soothing earth tones.
On the other side of the home, the two roomy, updated guest bedrooms have full baths, outdoor access and beautiful views.
The rear half-acre of this property has a separate tax ID, so you’ll have the flexibility of selling or developing that part of the property if you choose.
Once you arrive, you may never want to leave your beautiful island paradise, but if you do, the guarded public beach at Wabasso Beach Park is only an 8-minute drive over the bridge; and it is an easy drive south on A1A to Vero’s charming seaside village, for excellent shopping and dining, Riverside Theatre, the Vero Beach Museum of Art, the town tennis center, a great dog park and lots more.
