Finding a beautifully renovated home on the barrier island, complete with a new roof and storm shutters and all the benefits of a low-maintenance lifestyle, can be a challenge. But Douglas Elliman broker associate Sally Daley says just such a rare gem has come to market at 1413 W. Island Club Square in Island Club Riverside, offering a perfect blend of modern luxury, privacy and convenience.
Stepping through the gate into a screened courtyard, you find yourself in a tropical oasis where you can bask in the sun poolside. The courtyard is a fantastic space for both outdoor gatherings and secluded relaxation.
Adjacent to the pool, a guest casita offers complete privacy in a spacious suite with a new mini-split A/C unit and kitchenette. This versatile space can serve as a guest suite, an office, quarters for a live-in caregiver, a home gym or whatever suits you – and it is adaptable to your changing needs over time.
“It can be mom’s home when she’s here or a guest suite,” says Daley. “Then, in two years, if things change and you want a dedicated office or an art studio, it can change as life does.”
The casita’s poolside location allows its bathroom to serve as a pool bath.
The home’s design seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor areas. Whether you enter through the sliding glass doors in the family room, the formal entry at the center of the house, or the doors of primary suite, you always feel connected to nature.
“The great thing about a courtyard is that everywhere you go you’re looking outside because the house wraps around the space,” says Daley.
The house is a testament to thoughtful renovation that sets a timeless tone, not just a cosmetic update, and the L-shaped floorplan allows natural light to flood into every room, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
The home can also be accessed from the two-car garage, which features epoxy flooring. The laundry room has bright yellow flowers on Portuguese tile that brightens up the space. The family room, breakfast nook, and kitchen are conveniently located near the garage, optimizing the flow for everyday living and grocery unloading.
The new, light-filled kitchen features a central island with seating, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, shaker-style cabinetry and a glass-paneled pantry. Pops of color complement the modern, coastal palette in hues of blue, while the formal dining room positioned just beyond the kitchen ensures a seamless experience when entertaining.
When you step into the formal entry, your attention is drawn straight through the formal living room to the screened porch, framed by lush greenery.
“This area, positioned near the dining room, becomes literally almost like another guest house subset,” explains Daley, noting the guest bathroom which serves as a convenient powder room near the dining room. The elegantly appointed owner’s suite and another guest suite are located to the right of the foyer. Each suite has access to outdoor seating areas so everyone can have their own space to sit and relax.
“This home provides everyone with their own space while maintaining a sense of togetherness. Nobody feels on top of one another,” says Daley.
The owner’s suite is generously sized, featuring walk-in closets and a bright bathroom complete with a soaking tub, shower, dual sinks, water closet and vanity. Glass block sections let in plenty of light.
With a total of four bedrooms, three in the main house and the fourth in the casita, the home provides ample space for families and guests.
“The flexibility of the home means it can suit so many different people, now and as your life changes,” says Daley.
This beautiful home is situated in the Island Club Riverside. Resort-like amenities include a riverside day dock, tennis and pickleball courts, beach and Jungle Trail access and two heated swimming pools. The clubhouses have meeting areas, fitness rooms, card rooms or libraries, social rooms, and kitchens. The community provides property maintenance, which includes lawn care, irrigation, gated entry, recreation facilities and security.
“We wanted to be close to the beach,” recalls Debra Vaughn about her and husband Richard Vaughn’s decision to purchase a home in Island Club Riverside. “And this is close to the beach.”
