The midcentury modern home on a corner lot at 3605 Eagle Dr. in the heart of Central Beach has been beautifully updated. The property offers a combination of architectural distinction and cool contemporary luxury, all within an easy stroll to the beach and the Ocean Drive shopping and dining district.
The home has “a very cool, chic modern vibe,” says broker associate Cindy O’Dare with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, who is co-listing house with ONE Sotheby’s Richard Boga.
A perfect blend of pure style and thoughtfully renovated living space, the open and spacious floorplan maximizes natural light and flow.
The renovated home features elevated finishes, including crown molding, a shiplap cathedral ceiling and plantation shutters that allow for control of the abundant Florida sunshine.
Recent upgrades include a 2020 metal roof, impact windows and doors, and a whole-house generator, as well as newer air conditioners and a water heater, ensuring comfort and security.
Hedges create a natural, gated courtyard at the front, where golf enthusiasts will be thrilled to find a private, five-hole putting green. It’s the perfect place to practice your short game or have a friendly match while family and friends watch from the adjacent patio.
The moment you step inside the home, you’re welcomed by the spacious, open concept living area. A soaring shiplap cathedral ceiling creates a bright, airy atmosphere complemented by wood-look tile flooring throughout.
The open plan flows easily into the formal dining area, which opens onto the screened patio through impact sliding glass doors.
The chef’s kitchen is a space designed for both daily life and elegant entertaining. It features granite counters, custom cabinetry, a wine fridge and stainless-steel appliances. A bar-height breakfast bar adds both prep space and seating and creates a natural divide in the open layout.
Elegant touches such as glass subway tile, quartz countertops and under-cabinet lighting define the contemporary kitchen. Its clean lines and minimalist white palette create a stunning canvas perfect for showcasing art and color.
The floor plan continues its thoughtful separation with two guest bedrooms, a shared full bath and the primary suite located on the east side of the home, providing a buffer of privacy and a sense of tranquility.
The bath in the primary suite boasts dual sinks and a frameless glass-enclosed shower with both a rainfall and a mounted showerhead. The built-out, walk-in closet is a welcome feature not often found in homes of this vintage.
On the opposite side of the house, the fourth bedroom is adjacent to the kitchen and opens onto the porch via French doors. This flexible room is currently set up as a sitting room, but its size and location make it ideal for a dedicated office or an additional guest room. The en suite bath features a custom double vanity, a bidet and a frameless glass-enclosed shower with a cabana door for convenient access to the outside.
The thoughtful floorplan allows easy transitions to the spectacular backyard retreat for an ideal Florida lifestyle. The private, screened saltwater pool and spa allow for year-round swimming.
Covered areas host outdoor dining, while a decorative fountain and fire feature provide an elegant focal point for evening gatherings. An outdoor shower adds convenience after a day at the beach, a match on the putting green or in time spent in the yard.
“The outside area is perfection,” says O’Dare. “The landscaping, done by Rock City Gardens, is gorgeous. It’s got the perfect mix of inside and outside living.” As an added bonus, the quarter-acre, well-landscaped corner lot is just a block from the beach.
As you exit the two-car garage with an epoxy floor and walk down the brick paver driveway, you can hear the magical sound of waves lapping along the shore, and it’s a quick walk down to the beach, boardwalk or Ocean Drive for a meal or shopping.
Veromar, located just north of the Merrill P. Barber Bridge, is convenient to mainland shopping, the beach and the Ocean Drive shopping and dining district. Cultural offerings are nearby at Riverside Theatre or the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Riverside Park offers a tennis facility and a boat launch just south of the neighborhood. The City Marina and an expansive, waterside, off-leash dog park are a short bike ride away.
