When the owners of 1025 Andarella Way in Castaway Cove designed this home, they wanted “to create a relaxed and serene lifestyle conducive to the allure of Vero Beach.”
With sophisticated design and solid construction by VB Custom Homes and interior design thoughtfully curated with By The Sea Interiors, they achieved a seamless marriage of casual elegance perfect for Florida indoor-outdoor living.
“The owners thought of it all in this beautiful new-build east of A1A,” says Premier Estate Properties broker associate Kay Brown, who has the home co-listed for $2,799,000 with Premier estate agent Melissa Talley.
“Four bedrooms ensuite, option for an office or formal dining, open-concept floor plan, full-house generator, summer kitchen, pool with spa and a three-car garage – this home offers luxury and space to a full-time or seasonal family,” continues Brown.
Incredible attention to detail is apparent from your first look at the meticulously landscaped home nestled among mature trees in a tropical setting. The owners selected an extensive landscape package, adding to the allure of the home. They went so far as to coordinate the color scheme of the flower containers at the front entry with the shutters – a subtle, yet impactful detail.
The foyer opens into the great room where 11-foot-high tray ceilings highlight the elegant ribbon-style, white dolomite gas fireplace surround. This is the home’s central space and natural light filters into the great room through a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors, enhancing the neutral palette with the aqua blue of the swimming pool glimmering beyond the glass and the private backyard’s verdant green, creating a colorful contradiction.
Custom millwork, crown molding, built-in cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, custom ceiling and cerused tiled floors are just a few of the fine details found here and throughout the house.
To the left of the foyer is a room that can be used as a formal dining room or as a den, a space perfectly placed adjacent to the primary suite, which completes the western wing of the house.
Enjoying complete privacy, the primary suite opens onto the pool. It includes two substantial walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with a built-in vanity, dual sinks, a water closet with a bidet, and a double walk-in shower with egress from both sides.
The communal areas are on the opposite side of the house and include the kitchen, wet bar, breakfast area, laundry room, powder room, a three-car garage and three ensuite guest bedrooms – one of which opens out to the pool, with its bathroom serving as the cabana bath.
The island breakfast area overlooks the pool, too, for sunny morning coffee time and easy access to the kitchen and patio. The kitchen is convenient to the great room and pool area for summer cookouts and more formal entertaining.
The chef’s kitchen is equipped with custom Shaker-style cabinetry, quartzite counters, a gourmet appliance package, including a Wolf five-burner gas cooktop and wall oven, Fisher and Paykel refrigerator, Asko dishwasher and Zephyr wine cooler. A large island accommodates seating, provides storage space and a prep area, and creates a sense of separation between the kitchen and living area.
Outside, the lushly landscaped backyard is walled and fenced, creating a private haven where you can soak up the sun, take a cooling dip in the saltwater pool, or enjoy a soak in the spa.
The owner notes that the “expansive, white shellstone covered lanai with outdoor shower and custom saltwater pool and spa with waterfalls and outdoor kitchen” are easily accessible through the bronze metal gate adjacent to the driveway.
For those days when you’ve taken a walk along the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower before you hop into the pool, a nice feature, to be certain.
There’s plenty of covered space to sit and read a book or sip a glass of wine as you listen to the sound of the waterfalls while dinner sizzles on the summer kitchen grill.
“Castaway Cove is a fantastic setting for this new home, offering a gated community, six lots from the beach access on one of Vero’s best accreting beaches,” says Talley of this tropical island oasis. “We are thrilled to represent a new build in a great neighborhood.”
“This is a great family house; you have everything you need – the neighborhood, the beach and the split floor plan. But it works equally as well for a couple,” Talley continues.
Castaway Cove is located just south of the Alma Lee Loy Bridge. The family-oriented neighborhood encompasses six phases or waves, with more than 400 homes situated between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. The guard-gated community includes deeded beach access. It is convenient to mainland shopping and just five minutes away from Vero’s Ocean Drive for shopping and dining or cultural outings at Riverside Theatre and the Vero Beach Museum of Art. For families with children, Saint Edward’s School is nearby, a few miles south of the community.
