Beyond the grove of palms that lines the driveway at 640 Reef Road in Floralton Beach, a spectacular West Indies-inspired oceanfront home awaits, sitting behind a private gate on lot with 104 feet of ocean frontage.
Set back from the street, the two-story home is “a true sanctuary. It offers unparalleled luxury and an intimate connection to the ocean, making it one of the finest properties available on the market today,” says Premier Estate Properties estate agent Melissa Talley.
The quality of the construction, lot size, bulkhead and elevation of 17 feet above sea level combine to make this a rare property.
“This exceptional oceanfront estate is a rare fusion of refined living and serene seclusion, where timeless elegance meets spectacular beauty,” continues Talley of the fine details throughout, including unique lighting fixtures, tongue and groove ceilings, and wainscoting. The meticulously kept home is move-in ready.
The couple who owns it curated an aesthetic of clean lines, allowing the magnificent ocean views to take center stage.
From the carpark at the top of the driveway, a pair of mahogany-and-glass double doors under a covered front porch open into the foyer, which leads to the great room and breathtaking views of the shimmering Atlantic Ocean beyond.
Talley says the pristine home and grounds were “impeccably updated by the current owners; this state-of-the-art coastal retreat has all the modern luxuries and contemporary comforts a prospective purchaser could desire.”
Among the home’s delightful features are the multiple balconies and outdoor spaces that provide sweeping views of the ocean at all times of day and night, an escape from the sun and cover from the occasional rainy days that pass through.
At the heart of the house, the great room with beamed ceilings, a fireplace and a custom-built bar creates a warm and inviting space. Pocket sliding-glass doors line the walls of the great room, blurring the lines between inside and outside, a real boon when entertaining.
The first-floor primary suite with an adjacent study comprises the southern wing of the house, ensuring the owners can enjoy peaceful isolation when guests visit. Rich wood built-ins, ceiling features and a window seat grace the study, providing a spot for relaxation and contemplation.
An intimate, covered patio adjoining the primary suite allows access to the pool, a fireplace with a stacked stone surround and endless ocean views. The luxurious bathroom with Dolomite marble floors completes the space with a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a soaking tub, a shower and a water closet.
The northern wing houses the communal living areas with a family room, dining room, chef’s island kitchen with granite countertops and high-end appliances, a pantry, laundry room and a four-bay garage with a second-floor guest suite.
This guest suite has a living room, kitchenette, office, bath and bedroom with a sunset balcony, allowing long-term guests, visiting family members, and live-in assistants an independent space to enjoy.
The upper level of the home is reached via stairs or an elevator, making the space easily accessible. At the center of the second floor, you can relax and unwind seated on sunrise and sunset balconies while enjoying the exhilarating views from the “Ocean Room.” Three guest bedrooms, a wet bar and a second-floor laundry room make this level self-sustaining.
For those wanting a bird’s eye sea view, the upper level features an additional primary suite with a private screened balcony and a propane firepit. Wood floors, built-ins, a walk-in closet, and an opulent bathroom with another walk-in closet, dressing area, steam shower, soaking tub, water closet, vanity and dual sinks complete the owner’s retreat.
Outside there are multiple oceanfront entertaining areas, from the screened summer kitchen to the covered fireplace seating area and poolside lounging areas, which provide space for everyone.
Shellstone pavers surround the large, electric- and gas-heated pool. A spa and sun shelf add to the allure of poolside relaxation and recreation. The gated dune walkover provides quick access down to the beach, ensuring privacy and security. The property also features a large, dog-friendly, oceanfront lawn with a putting green. Landscape lighting creates an intimate environment for romantic evenings or extravagant parties when the sun goes down.
Floralton Beach is located on the east side of A1A adjacent to The Moorings Yacht & Country Club, a few minutes away from Saint Edward’s School and just a short drive from Riverside Theatre, the Vero Beach Museum of Art, and the Ocean Drive shopping, dining and resort district.
