Standing on the balcony of 2340 S. Hwy. A1A in Kansas City Colony – commonly known as the Estate Section of 32963 – the ocean views are mesmerizing and evoke the endless possibilities that await with the purchase of this oceanfront property, which includes the adjacent guest house at 2455 23rd St. SE.
“This offering presents a rare opportunity to own an extensive oceanfront compound, sited on 2.3-plus manicured acres fronting 234 feet plus of pristine beach, in the exclusive Vero Beach Estate Section,” says Premier Estate Properties Estate Agent Lange Sykes.
The main house is located behind a walled and gated entrance and is reached by a 300-foot driveway, which ends at the circular parking court. The driveway is lined with palm trees.
The main house exudes contemporary sophistication, honoring modern architecture that favors clean lines, open spaces, geometric forms and lots of natural light to create a bright, airy atmosphere.
High attention to detail is notable throughout, with Travertino Osso marble floors, custom built-ins and remote-controlled, light-adjustable shades among the fine fits and finishes.
Likened to architecture made popular by the 1980s TV show “Miami Vice,” the angularity of the house and pristine white palette are perfectly complemented by the lush, verdant greenery and rich sapphire blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
A personal gym and 12-car auto salon for those serious about their workouts and their cars encompass the home’s first level and can be accessed via dual garage doors.
Opposing staircases lead to one central staircase that ascends to the second-level entry of the trilevel house. Columns and two-story windows provide a welcoming entrance to soaring ceiling heights and spectacular ocean views from the grand salon at the center of the house, where a marble-framed gas fireplace adds to the intimate setting.
Windows at every turn offer panoramic views of the ocean from nearly every room in the house. The living room, formal dining room, guest suite and kitchen are all located on the second level with access to the oceanfront terrace. This layout optimizes views and convenience when entertaining.
The gourmet island kitchen has a gas cooktop, high-end appliances, Brazilian turquoise counters, custom cabinets, a casual dining area and a walk-in pantry with a powder room and laundry room nearby.
The home features extensive gallery wall space and a glass-enclosed tubular elevator for full access to all three levels of the house. Interior and spiral exterior staircases provide additional ways to reach separate spaces.
On the third level, the oceanfront primary suite is ensconced in one wing with a sunrise balcony, walk-in closet, and bath with a double vanity, water closet, jetted tub and walk-in shower. On the opposite side of this floor is a guest suite currently used as an office with access to the balcony and additional flex space.
The “storm-proofed” house is structurally sound with 44 steel-reinforced auger-cast pilings bored 28 feet deep, Category 4 storm shutters, breakaway ground-level walls, CBS construction, double-paned impact windows and doors with multi-camera security. A gate intercom provides an added measure of protection. A 45-kilowatt generator with 1,000-gallon and 500-gallon propane tanks also ensures you won’t experience power interruptions.
The extensive grounds include a regulation USTA Har-Tru tennis court; an Olympic-size, 85,000 gallon, 165-foot-long, two-lane heated lap pool; and a spa with a computerized water purification chemical balancing system active around the clock. A private, 125-foot marine-grade beach walkover leads to the wide, seldom-traversed accreting beach for your own private piece of paradise.
This offering includes the property directly to the north at 2455 23rd St. SE, a small lane that turns off from A1A. This four-bedroom, two-story, gated oceanfront house is perfect for long-term guests, ensuring everyone can enjoy this island retreat to the fullest.
A third property at 2440 23rd St. SE, with a beach bungalow located directly South of Round Island Park, is available for purchase separately and potentially increases privacy and variability on this exclusive oceanfront compound, making the purchase of all three properties a triple threat.
Sykes notes that the third property, “extends the ocean frontage to 312.5 feet and expands the property to 3.2 acres. Whether used as an extended private compound or professionally redeveloped, this superlative offering constitutes a privileged opportunity to acquire a significant piece of the finite amount of contiguous ocean frontage left on Vero Beach’s barrier island.”
The Estate Section is just a few minutes from Vero Beach’s famed village by the sea with Ocean Drive shopping and dining and cultural activities at the Riverside Theatre and Vero Beach Museum of Art. Country clubs, yacht clubs, marinas and parks all are nearby, as is Saint Edward’s School, a great resource for families with school-age children.
