Custom-designed and built in 2016 by one of Brevard's Premier home builders, this incredible home is nestled on one of the finest and most picturesque river front estates in Brevard County. Close-in on Riverside Drive this residence offers the right combination of proximity and privacy. Boasting nearly 5000SF of quality crafted interiors on nearly an acre, with water behind and alongside, it's hard to imagine a better location to enjoy life on the water and unimaginable evening sunsets. Guests will believe they have arrived at a fine resort. The grounds, the atmosphere and appointments leave nothing to the imagination. As you approach, via the flawlessly landscaped drive, it's hard not to be entranced by the skillfully designed and groomed lawn and grounds. The shrubbery, hardscape and lighting are done to perfection. Even the ivy on the stair tower was created on a trellis to preserve the wall behind. The framed drive is the ideal preamble to the home's raised entry. The custom arched iron doors set the stage for what lies beyond in the hardwood and tiled foyer. Upon entering and directly ahead is the dining room with floor to ceiling windows and doors to the porch, patio, pool, and river. Imagine the calm of sunset viewed from around the table at a dinner party or private gatherings, the vista simply mesmerizing. Sweeping to the right of the entrance is the masterfully crafted curved staircase to the upper level, where the theater/game room awaits, and secondary bedrooms reside. The theatre features 120" HD screen, 4K Projector in 3D and surround sound with 2 subwoofers. The covered balcony is perhaps the best vantage point to view activities on the river and the abundant wildlife while enjoying a beverage from the wet bar and stimulating conversation. Looking down from this vantage point once again gives the feeling of arrival at a resort. The glistening pool, stately palms, aligned chaise lounges, sparkling lights and, of course, the dock and river are alluring. The upper level enjoys two guest or family bedrooms with on-suite baths and walk-in closets. One even accesses the covered terrace with views of the river.'||chr(10)||'Once back downstairs in the main foyer you will find to your left the office/study, perfect for working at home or just getting away for a few hours of alone time.

Additionally, the garage boasts two air-conditioned storage rooms where all manner of items, deserving their own space, can be safely stored with easy access.'||chr(10)||'The design and construction of the house are more than noteworthy; highlighting flow, character, fit and finish of unparalleled quality. The plan was based on one of the Builder's most popular award-winning model homes with improvements to enhance the Owner's lifestyle and take full advantage of this incredible river location. Brilliantly erected on a stem-wall the elevated height enabled the residence to take full advantage of the water views and dramatic sense of arrival. The arc of the drive as you pass through the walled entrance was intended to shield the home from driveway-circle upon entry. The landscape was designed and installed by famed landscape artist, Susan Hall, and is truly the perfect adornment to the structure and color palette. And the view from the river or dock looking back toward the house is as breathtaking as the front façade. From the tree-lined pool, manicured hedgerows, groomed shrubs and plants...to the raised terrace and railed balcony above...this home's view from the water is nothing short of spectacular. '||chr(10)||'The covered dock, equipped with a lift, not only provides the perfect home quarters for a private watercraft, but also serves as a lovely venue for catching sunsets and watching dolphins or manatees from the protected railed platform. You may even want to drop a line for a little fishing. '||chr(10)||'Just some of the plethora of superlative features include custom-milled and hand-finished, stacked hardwood moldings and crown throughout; porches boasting cypress ceilings and crown; PGT Impact windows and doors; 10' tall custom designed arched iron double front doors; and hand-crafted circular wood staircase with designer railing. The house was built with state-of-the-art materials and methods including TAEXX in-wall and In-slab pest control, Durawall lateral structural steel block reinforcement and open-cell spray-foam insulation. Natural gas services the entire house and there is a Kohler whole-house gas generator. Hot water is provided throughout the home via a recirculation system to provide virtually instant hot water on demand. The home features Control 4 automation, with sound distribution, 3 separate surround sound systems and a projection theatre system. The security system and cameras are all operated through the Control 4 app. There are custom window treatments and motorized shades and motorized solar shades for the rear terrace. This is truly one of Brevard's signature river front estates, minutes from the Ocean and beaches, a short driver to Melbourne International Airport, Cape and Port Canaveral, the Orlando airports and the attractions and waterfront areas of Sebastian and Vero Beach.
