The crème de la crème of the lovely Grand Royale community – the bright, airy, upgraded condo at 235 Grand Royale Circle, No. 204 – is one-of-a-kind in many pleasing ways.
Grand Royale is a tidy, non-age-restricted community just south of Vista Royal on U.S. 1 that shares the scenic acreage with the Mangrove Sands Golf Course and a charming little lake.
From the parking area, a covered stairway leads to the condo’s front door. As you step in, the white and pastel palette, combined with lofty vaulted ceilings, creates a pleasant feeling of space and light, enhanced throughout the home with handsomely crafted crown molding and other beautiful millwork.
Large, diagonal, cream-hued tile flows throughout the central living spaces – living room, dining room, kitchen and enclosed patio – as well as one of the guest bedrooms.
Immediately to the right from the entrance is the updated kitchen, glowing with stainless steel appliances and handsome granite countertops with beveled edges.
The white cabinetry – floor and wall cabinets and a pair of pantries –includes several mullioned, glass-door display units.
A long, double-level peninsula separates the kitchen from the spacious dining/living room area, with the double basin, stainless-steel sink on the kitchen side and a snack bar on the dining room side.
In addition to the recessed ceiling lighting, a graceful, six-candle chandelier extends from the ceiling above the dining room space.
When the condo was updated, the porch/lanai was enclosed, creating additional air-conditioned living space. The tile flooring was extended onto the lanai, and hurricane windows were installed across the entire exterior wall, parallel to the exterior balcony.
The primary suite occupies the southwest corner of the residence. Flooring here is a light wood-look luxe vinyl tile. With its high ceiling, two large windows with green views to the south and white ceiling fan/light, the primary bedroom is a bright, peaceful haven. From the bedroom, a little hallway with a walk-in closet on either side leads to the primary bathroom. There, you’ll find a glass-front, walk-in shower, white sunken-basin vanity with marquee lighting bar, full width mirror and cabinet storage.
Shared by the two guest bedrooms, the second full bath offers tub/shower, loo, white sunken single-basin vanity and white-framed mirror with 5-bulb marquee lighting bar.
Grand Royale is conveniently located just minutes from mainland shopping, dining and medical services, as well as the downtown art gallery, restaurant and entertainment hub along and around 14th Avenue. Ten minutes away by car, across a high, arched bridge over the Indian River Lagoon, you will find Vero’s famous Village by the Sea, with fine and casual dining, beach shops and elite boutiques, live theater, an outstanding fine art museum, a USTA-run municipal tennis center, resorts, country clubs, parks, marinas and miles of clean, uncrowded Atlantic Ocean beaches with lifeguards stationed at popular swimming spots.
