The beautiful new home at 1090 Buckhead Drive SW sits on an oak-and-palm-shaded lot beside a lovely little lake in the gated Ansley Park development.
Conceived and created with an artist’s eye and great attention to detail by build/design contractor Nick Wentworth, this spacious, light-filled home is must-see.
Wentworth explains: “I choose a lot, then build the home as if I was living in it myself.”
In this case, Wentworth designed and placed the home with the back facing north to take full advantage of the peaceful green views of the woodsy preserve and shimmering lake, while ensuring there will be no harsh direct sunlight as the day progresses.
Inside and out, the home’s lines are crisp and clean, with white trim framing windows and doors. The vertical lines of the metal roof handsomely accent the horizontal lines of the sand-hued exterior, which looks like Hardie Board but is actually stucco.
From the covered, bricked entry porch, opaque glass-paned French doors open into the spacious and light-filled heart of the home – great room, dining room, kitchen – beneath a beautiful tray ceiling.
The white interior, recessed lighting, and diagonally laid porcelain tile that flows throughout the home showcase the beautiful architectural features.
The ‘Wow Factor’ of the open kitchen is a 10, with a wealth of gleaming white base and crown molding-topped wall cabinetry and glowing stretches of absolutely gorgeous cream/black/blue granite countertops and full-length splash. You’ll also find plenty of electric outlets along the counters and the island – which offers wide workspace, lots of storage and a snack bar.
Along with recessed lighting, Wentworth chose a trio of simple, elegant, frosted globes above the island, and a single globe above the sink, which sits beneath a picture window looking out upon the beckoning woodland and serene pond, greatly minimizing the boredom of KP duty.
Facing the great room and flanked by handsome inset columns, is a long, sleek wet bar with cabinets above and below, a square, sunken stainless-steel sink, and a Smokey Mountain granite countertop.
The great room opens to the wide, pavered patio via picture window sliders, offering gorgeous pond/woodland views. This inside area is set up perfectly for entertaining and, with sliders open, there are even more party possibilities.
If your wish list includes a pool, there is plenty of room for one here.
A hallway off the great room leads to three guest bedrooms. The one in the northwest corner has glass sliders to the patio, while the largest, adjacent to the front entry and looking toward the street, has a walk-in closet.
All three share a lovely bathroom with a floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower, loo, and linen closet.
Along the home’s east side is the primary suite, a cool and spacious retreat with tray ceiling, sliders to the patio, and, along the hall to the primary bathroom, two walk-in closets – one large, the other larger.
The primary bath is a restful beauty, with private loo, linen closets, and another floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower. An extra-long white vanity offers lots of storage.
Wentworth knows people appreciate abundant drawer storage. So the vanity has 13 drawers as well as two double-door cabinets. You’ll also find a pair of square sunken basins, and the same terrific granite as the kitchen.
Back at the front of the house, the laundry room – with hook-ups for washer and dryer, a sink, a counter with folding space and a private little loo – is situated near the main entry.
Adjacent to the laundry is access to a large, two-car garage with a great-looking epoxy floor. Also in the garage are the tankless electric water heater and one of the two attic pull-downs leading to storage space with room to walk upright beneath the rafters.
Secluded and private, Ansley Park is a short drive away from downtown Vero Beach’s lively restaurant, pub, entertainment and art gallery district. It’s also close to Vero’s welcoming island village, with live professional theater, a renowned fine arts museum, resorts, country clubs, marinas, casual and fine dining restaurants, beach shops and elite boutiques and miles of clean, uncrowded ocean beaches.
