If you’ve ever stood on the deck of a cruise ship, with nothing but blue as far as the eye can see, you already know the feeling of living at 8050 Hwy. A1A #3N & 3S in Blue at 8050 Ocean.
“It’s like living on a cruise ship,” co-owner Kristin Notte says, gesturing toward the floor-to-ceiling glass that frames an endless ocean vista.
“We actually chose this level specifically. At this height, you aren’t looking down at the beach or up at the clouds – you are looking right at the horizon line. It’s exactly the view we wanted,” agrees her husband, Greg Capello.
Stepping into the great room of this magnificent, full-floor residence, your perspective changes. It isn’t just a matter of height; it’s the alignment of the horizon. At this elevation, the Atlantic Ocean no longer feels like a distant view – it envelopes the space.
Beyond the spectacular views, the true distinction of this “double unit” lies in its scale and proportions.
“The floor plan feels expansive yet cozy and beautiful in every way,” says ONE Sotheby’s International Realty broker associate Cindy O’Dare, who is co-listing the property along with Richard Boga.
Originally planned as two separate units, the owners collaborated with architect Randall Stofft of Stofft Cooney Architects to create a seamless floor plan. The result is a residence that offers both grand entertaining spaces and intimate enclaves.
Stepping off the private elevator, you experience a tangible sense of arrival. The foyer is anchored by solid oak doors, with inset frosted glass panels. The entryway serves as the home’s central axis, ensuring a quiet separation between the primary living areas and the dedicated guest wing.
To the right of the foyer, you are drawn to the “stunning oceanfront views” from the great room, notes O’Dare, a space that allows guests to take it all in from the kitchen, a seating area and the dining room.
A feature wall defines the space, creating an entertainment room with a cozy electric fireplace that adds warmth without missing out on the views.
Contemporary lines meet functional luxury through bespoke craftsmanship, where tray ceilings, crown molding and custom built-ins signal classic quality, offering a subtle hint at the refined elegance throughout.
The kitchen features stainless steel accents, a wet bar, a breakfast bar, and professional-grade Miele appliances with a butler’s pantry that ensures entertaining is a breeze.
Completing this wing are an office, pantry, powder room, mud room, storage room and two guest bedrooms with a shared sunset balcony.
In the office, dark wood built-ins with a glossy finish offer a sophisticated contrast to the soft blues and grays throughout the rest of the unit.
Off the great room, the primary wing features dual amenities that define luxury living – a primary bath with double sinks, a water closet with a bidet, a built-in vanity, a soaking tub and an oversized shower with three shower heads, complete with the requisite towel warmer.
O’Dare points to the grandly scaled bathroom and closet as a “dream” feature, with plenty of room for a seating area in the bedroom to enjoy the panoramic vistas through the picture windows and sliding glass doors that frame the view and lead to a secluded section of the balcony.
To the left of the foyer, the guest wing features its own kitchenette, bathroom and private balcony, making it a perfect retreat for multi-generational living or live-in help.
“We designed it so that when family comes to visit, they have their own entrance. They can come and go without us even knowing. They aren’t getting in our way, and we aren’t in theirs,” explains Greg.
On the covered balcony, glass balustrades disappear into the horizon, offering an airy sanctuary to watch the surf while protected by the screened enclosure.
The property also includes a four-car garage and a pool cabana, expanding the home’s footprint and enhancing its flexibility for entertaining.
While this unit is breathtaking, the owners are also excited about the community’s future. After some post-pandemic delays, WDG Construction Group is working to realize its full potential, with a projected completion date for the ultra-luxe project in November 2026.
“These are the nicest group of people I’ve ever met,” says the owner of his neighbors. “We’re all on the same page to get this place done.”
Plans for the gated community aim to elevate the living experience further, starting with enhanced security measures, including extended perimeter walls and a more secure front gate.
Inside, saunas and other upgrades to the fitness center will complete the amenities, along with an overhaul of the property’s greenery.
“Blue has really come into its own. It’s a stellar project with a gorgeous setting and wonderful amenities,” says O’Dare.
The community amenities rival those of a high-end resort, with a tranquil pool and hot tub, a clubhouse fitness center, a dune crossover and a five-hole AstroTurf putting green.
From Blue at 8050 Ocean, it is a short 10-minute drive to Vero’s famous island village for high-end shopping, dining and cultural experiences. Opportunities for golf, tennis, boating, fishing, swimming and surfing all are nearby.
