The light-filled, like-new town home at 5191 Unity Square in the Lakes at Waterway Village neighborhood is an outstanding residence you must experience for yourself to fully appreciate.
The furnishings, which add to the home’s appeal, are negotiable.
From the private, southwest-facing front entry, you’ll step into the foyer, which features a charming little space with key and hat hooks, note board and a tall, stylish shelf unit.
On the opposite side of the foyer, white French doors with crisp black hardware open into a flexible room with a large, double window and an alcove perfect for a desk. You can create a den, office, extra bedroom or studio – whatever your heart desires.
From the foyer, a high, wide archway opens into the spacious central living space, with white walls and sand-hued 12-inch by 24-inch floor tiles.
Here, crisp natural light flows in through a wide picture window, a trio of high transoms along the west side, and a glass slider wall that opens to the screened patio. Coupled with high ceilings and recessed lighting, the result is a relaxed and airy ambiance. There is a lake view.
The current homeowners say that, along with the verdant, peaceful lakeside landscape, they often see cranes, herons and spoonbills, as well as rabbits, turtles and other wildlife.
Morning coffee, evening cocktails, midday breaks, reading, texting, comfortable chats, snuggling with the cat or pupper, also make the patio a favorite go-to. And this special spot is graced by a gold-hued Moravian Star ceiling fixture.
The open kitchen anchors the central space, and it is a beauty, with a window above the sink, cream/black mottled granite countertops, and gleaming stainless-steel appliances. White, shelf-top cabinetry, subway tile backsplash in varying shades of white/silver, and a large, square island with storage and a lunch countertop complete the room.
Just off the kitchen is the dining space currently occupied by a large wood table and four chairs. Between the dining area and the glass sliders, the living room area provides plenty of seating space and, just to the right, the entrance to the lovely, private, primary suite.
In the suite, you’ll enjoy soft, toes-friendly carpeting and a full-wall window with a great view of the lake and tropical landscaping. Above the bed is a gorgeous pendant light with yellow/gold-hued wood beads gracefully draped into several open, overlapping layers.
You’ll also love the large, well-designed walk-in closet.
The primary bathroom features a long, white, double-basin, granite-top vanity with oiled bronze fixtures and full, unadorned mirror beneath a pair of three-shade rod lights. There’s also a linen closet, WC, and handsome, fully tiled, glass-front, walk-in shower with bench.
The second bedroom also offers a comfy sand-hued carpet, and a wide window with landscaped neighborhood view. The nearby bathroom has a white, single-basin, granite-top vanity, loo and tub/shower, serving double duty as a guest bath/powder room.
The tidy laundry room provides wall cabinet, floor storage and a long rod for hanging garments.
The homeowners have treasured their home and loved the friendly, welcoming neighborhood and its “great vibe,” where neighbors gather for special occasions, such as the annual neighborhood Christmas party. Resort-style amenities include a large clubhouse with full kitchen and bar, tennis, and a fitness center.
Waterway Village is a short 10- to 15-minute drive away from downtown Vero Beach’s restaurant, entertainment and art gallery district, as well as the town’s famous and friendly island village, where you’ll find resorts, pubs, casual and fine dining, charming boutiques, riverside dog park, professional theater, city marina, fine art museum and, of course, miles of world-famous, clean and uncrowded beaches.
