The refined craftsmanship typical of GHO Homes is strikingly apparent at 204 Strand Square in The Strand at Indian River Shores, a gated luxury enclave on the barrier island. The facade of the residence is a balance of modern sophistication and coastal charm, featuring clean lines and a soft, neutral color palette that complements the natural surroundings and evokes the Florida lifestyle.
The paver driveway leads up to a covered entry that invites guests to pause and take in the tropical landscaping that perfectly frames the home.
This Oceanic Grande model is a newly built, partially furnished and move-in-ready home, a perfect combination for someone seeking an elegant, turnkey coastal residence. The frosted-paned double doors and the overhead transom of this spacious house lead into a light-filled hallway that features a chandelier, decorative niche, and dual sconces setting off a large oval mirror. Off the hallway is a convenient half-bath. The hallway opens to the living room, also filled with light, and an expansive outdoor view.
“It’s calming and soothing,” says Lisa Krynski, GHO Homes sales agent, of the subtle hues and sophisticated design.
Large-format porcelain tile provides durability against sandy feet while maintaining a warm aesthetic throughout the home. The furniture selection mirrors this organic approach, complemented by reclaimed wood accent tables and abstract art pieces that pull in the blues and greens of the lush landscaping and nearby ocean.
Gregory Allan Ness of Coastal Interiors beautifully executed the interior design. The textures and finishes Ness used elevated the space far beyond the standard spec home.
Krynski notes the use of textured wallpaper in the coffered ceiling and how the elegant chandeliers and lighting fixtures add a modern touch. The chic coastal-modern furniture was curated for the home’s dimensions.
The soft green palette is perfect, with the outdoor living areas visible through expansive sliding glass doors, notes Krynski.
At the heart of the home, the great room features a bar with a beverage cooler and an electric fireplace that serve as focal points, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for entertaining and relaxation.
This central space is open to a kitchen delineated by a large island with seating. GE Cafe appliances and a pantry hidden behind cabinet doors are enviable features for any chef. The dining room flows seamlessly from the kitchen, acting as a natural extension of the space. The laundry room and garage access are in close proximity to enhance workflow.
Adjacent to the main living area is a flexible club room, currently staged with a gaming table, bar and beverage refrigerator, the perfect spot for evening cocktails and a game of poker. The room could be used as an office or a bedroom with an adjacent full cabana bath, creating a handy private suite for long-term guests.
The layout is a true split plan. The primary suite, located on the opposite side of the house from the guest wing, features high ceilings and 10-foot sliders opening directly to the pool.
The ensuite bath exudes spa-like luxury, featuring oversized tile, walk-in closets, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, a water closet, dual sinks and a clerestory window that floods the space with natural light.
Outside, the screened travertine lanai offers a private sanctuary perfect for unwinding, with a pool featuring wide steps and a built-in underwater bench that invites relaxation. Expansive glass doors merge the interior with the resort-like pool patio.
A soothing water feature enhances the natural ambiance, creating a tranquil setting balanced by sunny spots and shaded retreats. You can enjoy morning coffee, al fresco dining and a cordial at the end of the day.
The turnkey home is “the best deal on the island,” says Krynski, noting its recent construction, the carefully curated furniture and a full-house generator.
“It’s a cozy, warm, comfortable place,” she adds.
Residents in The Strand enjoy maintenance-free living with full yard care, irrigation, deeded beach access, and upkeep of all the common areas. Homes in The Strand – the island’s first natural gas community – feature gas cooktops, tankless water heaters, and dryer connections.
An intimate, secure, and maintenance-free lifestyle in a quiet island neighborhood awaits the buyer of this outstanding residence. The community provides coveted ocean-to-river access – to the east, a short stroll leads to a private, deeded path to the Atlantic Ocean, complete with a residents-only shower; to the west, a private gate opens directly onto the historic Jungle Trail, an ideal place to walk and bike along the storied Indian River Lagoon.
The Strand at Indian River Shores, a 47-home, gated subdivision, offers deeded beach access and is conveniently located near the State Road 510 bridge for access to mainland shopping. It’s a quick 10-minute drive to upscale shopping, fine dining and cultural events at Riverside Theatre and the Vero Beach Museum of Art.
