About This Home

As of April 2026

Perfectly positioned on a wide canal with direct access to the Indian River, this fully renovated Harbor East residence delivers effortless coastal living in one of Melbourne Beach's most desirable waterfront communities. Thoughtfully redesigned with a functional split floorplan, the home showcases timeless finishes, sunlit interiors, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The beautifully updated kitchen opens to spacious living areas, all oriented to capture tranquil water views. Step outside to a covered lanai with hurricane-rated roll-down shades, a newly built heated pool and spa, and a private dock ideal for boating enthusiasts. Major upgrades include impact windows and a new metal roof, offering both style and peace of mind. Zoned for highly regarded Gemini Elementary and just a short bike ride to the beach, Ocean Avenue's restaurants, and local shops, this move-in ready home embodies the very best of the Melbourne Beach lifestyle.
