With an easy elegance and a sunlight yellow exterior topped by a red tile roof bespeaking the warmth and welcome of the Mediterranean, the spacious home at 4800 Coventry Drive in Grand Harbor’s beautiful Coventry Island is ready to be your private oasis.
Recessed within handsome rooflines, the impressive, two-level entrance features a leaded, etched glass door flanked by slender leaded sidelights beneath an arched, mullioned window.
Inside, a glass “bubble” pendant light charmingly illuminates the foyer.
The house is filled with pleasant ambient light throughout, and grounded by creamy ceramic tile.
It impresses with whisper-gentle pastels, white millwork, soaring ceilings, archways and wide windows.
The foyer leads into the central living space, which encompasses living room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast nook.
The living room is spacious yet cozy, an inviting place to relax in front of the wood-burning fireplace.
The open, island kitchen is a beauty, equally ready for a gastronomy connoisseur or PB&J devotee. You’ll enjoy gleaming black and stainless-steel appliances, plenty of white, soft-close cabinetry, shelf-top crown molding, glowing stone-like countertops, under-cabinet lighting, pantry, deep, single-basin sink and tile backsplash.
The kitchen seamlessly flows into the family room, which enjoys charming views of the sparkling swimming pool and one of the community’s renowned golf courses.
The fourth area in this central space is a lovely breakfast nook filled with natural light from a large window and French doors that open to the lanai. Both breakfast nook and family room have been upgraded with plantation shutters.
Double French doors with plantation shutters open eastward to the spacious lanai and fully screened, heated, freeform swimming pool. From the lanai and pool area you have a “front row view” of the first hole of the verdant River Course, as well as a small pond frequented by exotic waterbirds.
Conveniently located right from the foyer, past the staircase, are the powder room; large laundry room with a window, wall cabinetry, deep sink, palm-tree themed wallpaper and lots of storage space; and access to the two-car garage.
Also on the main floor, occupying the north side of the home, is the gorgeous primary suite, aglow with soft ambient light from the north and east.
Here, too, is a white fan/light and ample room for a cozy seating/reading area. A short hallway with two large walk-in closets leads to the big, beautiful bathroom, where you will enjoy two single-basin cabinet vanities, private loo, and long glass-front shower with delicious rainforest head.
The home’s second level offers what will likely become a favorite go-to for guests and/or children alike – a nice big loft area, with loads of room for sofa, comfy chairs and side tables. Along the north wall, is a wonderful, full-length, white bookcase/TV cabinet/cabinet storage unit topped with crown molding. Above this unit, a trio of clerestory windows provide a flow of natural light.
From the loft, French doors lead to a flexible “bonus room” currently in use as an office. It features a tile floor and could easily serve as den, library, studio or exercise space – and the view is terrific.
The bedroom occupying most of the second-level south side could certainly be considered a second primary suite. The 22-foot by 12-foot room features a spacious bay with a sofa and coffee table, and, of course, the splendid golf course view.
There is a large walk-in closet that could easily become a dressing room, and the bathroom offers white cabinet vanity, glass walk-in shower, and additional multi-drawer cabinetry.
The third bedroom features a long double-bifold closet, ceiling fan/light, window to the south, and a bathroom with loo, single-basin vanity and tub/shower.
Grand Harbor is conveniently located off Indian River Boulevard, close to Vero’s mainland shopping, dining, medical and business centers and the popular downtown art gallery, pub and restaurant district. The community is only a 5-to-10-minute drive from a high, arched bridge that crossed the Indian River Lagoon to reach Vero’s famous Village by the Sea, with fine and casual dining, beach shops and elite boutiques, live theater, an outstanding fine art museum, resorts, country clubs, parks, marinas and miles of clean, uncrowded Atlantic Ocean beaches with lifeguards stationed at popular swimming spots.
