The bright second-floor condo at 1845 Robalo Drive, Unit 205D, comes with a prime, “in the center of it all” location, close to Vero’s shops, restaurants and beautiful beaches – and a water view!
With its totally charming canal-side location just north of the Alma Lee Loy Bridge – within walking distance of the Three Corners riverfront development site – this little gem is perfect for year-round home, vacation retreat or investment property.
The light-filled unit is also move-in ready, with an open floor plan and crisp white interior grounded by wood-look vinyl plank flooring that extends throughout residence.
From the east-facing front door, step into the central living room/dining room gathering space, which gets lots of natural light from a tall translucent glass panel along the east wall and wide glass sliders on the west side that open to the screened porch.
Just to the right of the entry door, you’ll find a convenient, double bifold door closet. Left from the entrance is the kitchen, which features a handsome tray ceiling, creamy vinyl floor tile, cream-hued Formica counters, with matching floor and wall cabinetry.
Appliances include stainless steel range and built-in microwave; dishwasher; side-by-side, water-in-door fridge; and disposal. The double stainless-steel sink faces a wide pass-through to the dining room.
Situated between the kitchen and the porch sliders, the dining room comes with a graceful metal chandelier.
A short hallway with a closet leads to the bedrooms.
In the northwest corner, the 16-foot by 11-foot primary bedroom receives ambient light via windows on both exterior sides and enjoys serene and soothing water views, always a wonderful inspiration as you ease into the day. There is a ceiling fan, and you will certainly enjoy the roomy walk-in closet.
The primary, ensuite bathroom features crisp white walls, cabinet vanity with sunken basin, loo, and simple, elegant crystal-look pendant light, as well as a walk-in, pale olive shower that provides a pop-of-color.
The second bedroom, too, has lovely water views, as well as a ceiling fan and double-bifold door closet.
Also predominantly in white, the second full bathroom offers a tub/shower in contrasting pale gold/olive shades.
The screened porch will certainly be a frequent go-to, as it offers the best view in the house, looking out over the wide band of thick, well-tended grass to the tranquil canal, with opens to the Indian River lagoon a few hundred feet away.
Just to the right of the unit is a small dock and, on the opposite side of the wide canal, a thick wall of mangrove and other tropical greenery dips to the water’s edge, providing a beautiful natural backdrop along with a sense of serenity and privacy.
This cozy space, which has a handy storage closet, is perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, relaxing with a book, list making or even taking a restful nap.
Treasure Coast Isles is centrally located both to Vero’s mainland shopping, medical, and business centers, and to the popular downtown art gallery and dining district. Even better, it’s a mere 10-minute drive across the bridge to Vero’s famous Village by the Sea, with renowned live theater, a fabulous art museum, 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.
