Located on a large, beautifully landscaped double lot, sheltered beneath moss-draped oaks, the charming and lovingly cared for family home at 105 12th Place SE in River Shores Estates awaits its new owner.
You’ll quickly see this sturdy beauty is not only a terrific family home, but also a great place for entertaining, inside and out, with plenty of space for boats, RVs, hobbies and projects, as well as parties.
The home’s foyer opens into the living room, with a coat closet and French doors to the kitchen.
With ample room for numerous furniture configurations, the carpeted living room receives soft natural light via large windows, with blinds that look out upon the green front lawn and neighborhood beyond.
From the living room, a wide entryway opens into the dining room, which features white chair rail with gentle peach wainscoting beneath delicately patterned wall covering; warm wood-look vinyl plank flooring; and a ceiling fan/light. A white-molding-framed window with peach-trimmed valance provides pleasant lawn and neighborhood views.
The ceramic-tiled kitchen is conveniently located between the family room and dining room, with access to both. You’ll find ample, honey-hued cabinetry with black pulls and white countertops, a double stainless steel sink beneath a window, a gas cooktop and, within a handsome red/gold bricked wall, a double oven and pantry.
Ceiling lighting is diffused behind translucent panels, illuminating the kitchen softly, and there is a ceiling fan and a hanging pot rack above a long white Formica topped table with chairs – plenty wide enough for seating on both sides, but slender enough to keep kitchen traffic flowing.
The kitchen flows into the spacious family room, another terrific gathering space with ceiling fan/light, track lighting, and space for lots of comfy seating. Highlight here is a wood-burning fireplace with brick hearth and wooden mantle. The charming fireplace is flanked by white, floor-to-ceiling open shelving. Two ceiling spotlights are positioned to showcase any art you choose to display above the fireplace.
Along the outside wall is a cool little bay window seat looking out upon the impressively large, paved and screened lanai, which faces the woodsy back yard. It is easy to imagine a child swinging on a tire swing attached to one of the sturdy oak tree limbs.
A stand-out office/study/den features honey-hued paneling trimmed with dark molding; soft, pale carpeting; a ceiling fan; and a slender corner window with vertical blinds.
With snuggly carpeting, two ceiling fans, a walk-in closet, and French doors to the pool enclosure, this primary suite is a delicious haven.
The second primary ensuite features dark wood, vinyl plank flooring, walk-in closet, ceiling fan, a bathroom with shower, and wide windows with green neighborhood views.
The third bedroom also boasts soft carpet, ceiling fan/light and a pair of corner windows. The third full bathroom, in the nearby hall, offers a tub/shower.
The expansive screened patio is just plain gorgeous, with a sizable pool trimmed with blue tile and surrounded by a beautiful Travertine pool deck. The patio is paved in the same herringbone style as the lanai.
In the back yard, beneath gnarled, Spanish moss-dripping oaks and graceful palms, is an 864-square-foot, detached workshop; and a 2024 10-foot by 16-foot anchored, stormproof Tuff Shed.
Nestled in the Florida Ridge area of mainland Indian River County, River Shores Estates is not only sufficiently “far from the madding crowd,” but also conveniently located only about 10 minutes from downtown Vero Beach arts, restaurant, pub and entertainment district. It’s only a few more minutes across the intracoastal to Vero’s charming and friendly beachside village with its unique shops, boutiques, fine and casual dining, resorts, marinas and country clubs, as well as oak-shaded Riverside Park, home to live professional theatre, an outstanding fine arts museum, and a USTA-run city tennis center. Also on the island are the sprawling waterside city dog park and, of course, miles of clean, uncrowded Atlantic Ocean beaches.
