A couple or single seeking the perfect move-in-ready home would be hard-pressed to find one more appealing and perfectly located than the light-filled villa at 319 Monaco Place in the gated Provence Bay community.
The pleasant neighborhood features broad swaths of emerald grass, paver driveways, wide sidewalks and beautifully designed, well-tended tropical landscaping. Residents enjoy walking, biking and neighborly conversation.
With an open interior design, high ceilings and white/pale taupe palette, this fully furnished charmer radiates welcome and invites relaxation, with an aura of space and light.
Beneath a red-tiled roof, within the entrance portico, a rich olive-green entrance door opens into the foyer. Just past the entrance is the door that leads to the garage.
Wide, pale-taupe ceramic tile grounds the home’s central area, including café/dining room, gathering space and kitchen.
Left from the foyer is the open kitchen, its angled front window providing natural light and a view of the front portico, lawn and neighborhood. The space beneath this window could easily accommodate a small table and a couple of chairs, or a little wheeled “island.”
The L-shaped kitchen comes with mottled brown/cream granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, and gorgeous, glowing wood flooring. A stainless steel, side-by-side, water-in-door fridge, smooth-top range beneath a built-in microwave, double basin sink, and dishwasher complete the room.
The kitchen counter ends in a two-level sink/snack bar countertop opening to foyer and dining space/café. A trio of simple, cylindrical pendant lights illuminate the snack bar.
Past the bar, the central space flows toward glass sliders opening onto the screened lanai. The café space, home to a round, glass-top table and quartet of dark wicker chairs – is within convenient reach of the kitchen, and is illuminated by a simple, stylish three-cylinder chandelier.
A beautiful oriental-looking area carpet defines the gathering space, accommodating cushioned seating along the west and south walls and a sleek coffee table. A pair of clerestory windows to the west provide subtle natural light.
There’s also a large flatscreen TV and dark wood, five-blade ceiling fan/light.
The primary suite is accessed from a niche off the far end of the gathering room. It sits in the back, southeast corner and receives soft natural light via large, south-facing windows, which offer pleasant green views of the rear yard and a never-to-be-developed stretch of wetland preserve beyond.
The bed sits beneath a splendid tray ceiling, with a fan/light for after-dusk illumination.
Just off the bedroom, via a pocket door, is the primary bath, a simple and sophisticated space. The long wood vanity has a white, two-basin Corian countertop and silver fixtures, with a full-width, frameless mirror and marquee light bar above.
Here, too, you’ll find a fully tiled, glass-front, walk-in shower and the entry to a carpeted, walk-in closet.
A spacious laundry room with washer, dryer and wall shelf is located near the primary suite.
Opposite the primary suite, in the home’s northeast corner, the second bedroom features a window to the front, double bifold closet, ceiling fan/light and access to the second bathroom. The bathroom comes with a tub/shower, loo, single basin wood vanity with a Corian countertop, and full-width mirror.
Extending the central gathering space and opening to the green environment just steps from your back door, the lanai is a versatile, valuable space. With handsome, herringbone-style pavers, this screened, fresh air enclave is a terrific spot for relaxing, reading, enjoying an informal bite, greeting the morning with a coffee or the evening with a glass of wine.
Located just off Indian River Boulevard, Provence Bay is only minutes away from downtown Vero Beach and the beachfront shopping and dining district on Vero’s charming barrier island.
