About This Home

As of January 2025

Nestled on 1.29 picturesque acres in Merritt Island, this stunning two-story pool home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 3,235 sq. ft. of upgraded living space. Backing up to a peaceful preserve leading to the Indian River, the home offers privacy and a connection to nature.

The 2020 kitchen renovation is a chef's dream, featuring espresso cabinets, subway tile backsplash, KitchenAid appliances, vented exhaust, smooth cooktop, double wall oven, breakfast bar, and under-cabinet lighting. The spacious family room includes a built-in electric fireplace, while formal living and dining rooms add elegance and versatility. Tall ceilings and a wood staircase with wrought iron spindles enhance the home's grandeur.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, showcasing a 2022 remodeled bathroom with a seamless glass walk-in shower, soaker tub, modern blue cabinets, and wood-look tile floors. A cozy fireplace with stone accents adds warmth to the bedroom. Two additional upstairs bedrooms share a bath with separate sinks, and a loft at the top of the stairs serves as an ideal office space. A first-floor guest bedroom and full bath provide convenience for visitors.

The outdoor living space is equally impressive. The heated pool, resurfaced in 2017 with upgraded tile and added fountains, invites you to relax and entertain. Some windows have been upgraded to impact-rated for added peace of mind. The property includes a 3-car garage, with engineered plans from 2025 for an additional 2-car garage and a possible mother-in-law suite.

Key updates include a new roof in 2019, a 2016 AC, and a 2022 water heater. This home seamlessly blends modern amenities with timeless elegance, offering the perfect backdrop for Florida living. With breathtaking natural surroundings, a community dock and room to expand, this property is more than a home, it's a lifestyle. Schedule your private showing today!
