The two-story, riverfront home at 230 Osprey Ct. in Seagrove West on the shore of the Indian River Lagoon has undergone a stunning transformation, resulting in a house that captures the essence of modern coastal living.
For the current owners, it was a matter of reimagining the existing space while making the most of the indoor-outdoor living opportunities.
“They completely reinvented and reshaped the floorplan that was here before,” says AMAC Alex MacWilliam realtor Courtney Dietrich, co-listing agent with Barb Dietrich.
The result is a four-bedroom home that feels both expansive and intimate, sophisticated and relaxed. Working with Retrofits and Renovations, the owners opened up walls on the main floor, creating a seamless flow from the living room to the dining area and kitchen, allowing for an abundance of natural light to filter through the space.
Crisp, white shiplap, attractive ceiling features, natural textures, wood-look tile and custom-built light fixtures enhance the coastal vibe, achieving the goal of “understated elegance,” a design ethos that feels comfortable and cozy without sacrificing style.
The owner meticulously designed each light fixture for its space, ensuring the living room chandelier had a shallow depth so as not to obstruct the view of the dramatic rattan fixture over the dining table, explained Courtney.
The home is situated on a quiet street near a cul-de-sac, ensuring a tranquil setting to match the home’s aesthetics. A brick-paved circle drive allows for plenty of parking and easy access as you come and go. A pair of glass doors with sidelights infuse the foyer with natural light – showcasing a relaxed design philosophy that dissolves the barrier between interior living space and landscape.
The foyer opens into the inviting living room with a cozy, wood-burning fireplace and water views. The living room flows into the dining room and kitchen, creating a seamless entertaining space that keeps the host connected to guests.
The kitchen is centered around a massive island that invites family and guests to gather. It’s as functional as it is beautiful, allowing for seating, storage, casual dining and a place to lay out a spread for everything from Christmas morning breakfast to game-day appetizers. A beverage cooler increases functionality, keeping visits to the refrigerator at a minimum.
With the kitchen situated between the breakfast nook overlooking the pool and the family room with its grass cloth wallpaper, the kitchen truly is at the core of the home.
Also located on this side of the house are the laundry room, stairs to the second floor and access to the oversized two-car garage, all of which are convenient and accessible.
The primary suite is located on the opposite side of the house, featuring a spacious bedroom with a luxe ensuite bath where a large walk-in closet with a skylight, three sinks, a water closet, a walk-in shower with multiple shower heads, and a soaking tub allow for quiet indulgence.
“This floorplan lives like a full home on the first level,” Courtney says. The house is perfect for couples, but when they do have guests, the upper level serves as a private guest area, resplendent with three bedrooms, two baths, and a leisure room – making it equally conducive to a large family where the children can claim the second floor as their domain.
The landing at the top of the stairs provides a cozy spot to read or relax on the Juliet balcony, with the bonus room offering a flexible space that could easily function as a mother-in-law suite, a game room, a home office, a studio or a sitting room.
A wide second-story balcony, redone with new decking, offers spectacular sunrise and sunset views from the two bedrooms overlooking the water.
It’s a house for that person who just wants to walk in with a toothbrush and groceries and not bother with having to make a lot of updates and changes observes Courtney.
French doors open onto the covered patio from each of the rooms overlooking the pool, which is surrounded by high-end turf. This uncommon pool surface is non-slip and low maintenance, which reduces falls and is lush and green year-round.
“You really value that indoor-outdoor space where you can just relax and feel at home,” notes Courtney.
The backyard is exceptionally private, enclosed by modern metal and cable fencing that allows for clear views of the water. A full pool bath with an outdoor shower means you never have to track water inside. For boaters, the dock is already equipped with electric and water, ready for a future lift.
“There are only about 68 homes in here, and people like the sense of neighborhood. That’s been a real strength for this location,” says Barb.
Seagrove West is a guard-gated, riverfront community located between Castaway Cove and The Moorings. Amenities include tennis, pickleball and a marina in the quiet, family-centric neighborhood just minutes from Saint Edward’s School, and beachside shopping and dining along Ocean Drive.
“Families love the fact that if their kids are going to St. Ed’s, they don’t even have to cross a street,” says Barb.
