Beautiful ‘Serenoa’ home borders nature preserve

From its coveted location along the edge of a beautiful preserve close to Oslo Road and U.S. 1 to its numerous premium upgrades and special touches, the meticulously maintained home at 385 11th Square SW is one you should try and see while it is still available.

In the gated Serenoa community, this appealing residence possesses great curb appeal and an open and airy interior, featuring a gentle natural palette, with tile flooring in the central spaces.

Step across the threshold into the foyer beneath a lofty ceiling that continues throughout the home, further enhancing the feeling of space and light.

The foyer hallway opens into spacious living areas, which open, in turn, via glass sliders, onto a big screened porch/patio with a splendid view of the verdant outdoor spaces and woodsy preserve beyond.

Along this hallway are two wide arched alcoves, one a gentle aqua, where you might choose to display a favorite artwork; one shimmering with a simple, elegant tile mosaic. About halfway down, the entrance hallway is further enhanced by an open orb chandelier sparkling like a thousand snowflakes.

Off the entrance hallway are the two guest bedrooms, the first currently in use as an office, with a ceiling fan/light, vinyl plank flooring and double plantation-shuttered windows offering a fine neighborhood view. The second bedroom has comfy carpeting, a custom wood-shelved closet, ceiling fan/light and peaceful green view. A full bath with tub/shower serves both bedrooms.

The primary suite offers a quiet retreat beneath a splendid double tray ceiling, with a sleek, three-blade fan/light that stirs the air. Along with toes-friendly carpeting you have a veritable window wall, plantation-shuttered, with a wonderful green view to enjoy as you awaken. There are two large walk-in closets, fully fitted with custom wood racks and shelving, and a fabulous ensuite bath, with private loo, linen closet, two cherry-wood-hued vanities with granite counters, full mirrors and sunken basin sinks. The longer of the two vanities has a niche for a little stool, and there is a large, fully tiled, no-door, walk-in shower.

The home’s roomy central living space houses kitchen, dining room and family/gathering room, the latter offering all sorts of options for your furniture arrangements. Here there is a ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and a window wall with glass sliders that open to the porch/patio.

The beautiful open kitchen is a chef’s dream, with tons of counter space, a plethora of beautiful, crown molding-topped cabinetry, including a mullioned glass-front wall cabinet to display your favorite glassware. Upgraded, like-new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a large custom pantry, and a spacious island with sink and three-stool lunch counter complete the room.

The laundry room comes with washer and dryer hook-ups, wall shelf, deep sink and access to the extra-large garage. Nearby is the powder room/half bath.

Just off the kitchen, in the home’s southeast corner, is the dining area, receiving crisp natural light via a transom window and a wide double picture window.

The most frequently used space in this charming, 2017-built home will likely be the porch/patio, which can accommodate chairs, sofa, coffee table, gas grill and more. There are two fan/lights and a charming wall fountain in which the flowing water changes colors. From the porch, the pavers continue in the fully screened and lighted patio where the highlight is a natural gas stone fire pit, a mesmerizing gathering place where fire crackles from a base of blue glass crystals.

Serenoa is a short drive away from historic downtown Vero’s art gallery/restaurant district and mainland health, business and commercial centers, and just a little further from the bridges over the lagoon that lead to Vero’s famous Village by the Sea, with resorts, country clubs, fine and casual dining, beach shops and elite boutiques, parks, marinas and miles of clean, uncrowded beaches with lifeguards at popular swimming spots.
