Tucked away in the quiet and neighborly, 55-plus condo community of Grove Isle, is the light and bright condo at 700 Lake Orchid Circle, No. 205, which sits along a riverside preserve, only steps from a dock, kayak launch and clubhouse.
The entry door opens into a long, airy central space with gray-hued laminate flooring, and it is immediately clear that this home has been lovingly cared for.
Dove-gray half-walls define the foyer, which opens left into the dining room, and right, into the front/second bedroom.
A wide doorway leads from the dining room into the galley kitchen, with white, wood wall and floor cabinetry, creamy white Formica countertop, white appliances, double-basin stainless-steel sink, full-wall white tile splash and recessed lighting. You’ll also enjoy a tall kitchen pantry.
There’s plenty of well-configured storage space and a stacked washer/dryer.
The kitchen is open to the living room, which features a high, vaulted ceiling and long, high windows along the north side, providing soft ambient light. A handsome ceiling fan/light stirs the air.
At the far end of the living room is the charming Florida room, with a full-wall window to the east, providing a beautiful green view of the protected mangrove preserve, which stretches all the way to the Indian River Lagoon.
Adjacent to the Florida room is the primary, ensuite bedroom where light flows in via three mullioned windows to the east and south.
The walls here are of the softest, most delicate seafoam green; and a sleek three-blade ceiling fan helps keep the room cool.
With white floor tile and vanity and a high Venetian blind window, the bathroom features a glass-front, walk-in shower, loo and, behind a pocket door, a nice roomy walk-in closet, with built-in shelf units.
At the front of the condo, off the foyer to the right, is the second, ensuite bedroom, with a wide, west-facing window and another five-blade ceiling fan/light. The ensuite bathroom also opens to the front hallway, and provides a single basin sink, tile floor, loo and fully-tiled tub/shower with hand-held shower head and grab bar. The wall here is a very soft powder blue.
AMAC Alex MacWilliam listing agent Kevin Crofton said Grove Isle is very neighborly and social, with an abundance of leisure opportunities, including two clubhouses. “It’s the real deal,” he says.
From Grove Isle, it is a short drive to Vero Beach’s downtown arts, restaurant and entertainment district and an equally quick trip to Vero’s famous Village by the Sea with fine and casual dining, beach shops and elite boutiques, resorts, country clubs, parks, marinas and miles of clean, uncrowded Atlantic Ocean beaches with lifeguards stationed at popular swimming spots.
