About This Home
Coastal Charmer – This 2,464 square foot, 4-bedroom, 3-bath beach retreat is perfectly situated just 1.5 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. Step inside to discover soaring 10-foot ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and an inviting wet bar ideal for entertaining. The open-concept design flows seamlessly through spacious living areas, including two expansive 450 plus-square-foot living rooms that provide the perfect setting for hosting family and friends.
One of the home’s most captivating features is the engineered rooftop deck—constructed with dock-quality materials and stainless steel hardware—delivering panoramic 360 views of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River, and rocket launches from nearby Kennedy Space Center.
Ideally located just steps from a quiet, no-drive beach, the property also offers easy access to the Canaveral National Seashore, where you can enjoy kayaking, hiking, and up-close encounters with manatees and dolphins in their natural habitat. New Smyrna Beach is famed for its premier surfing breaks and status as Central Florida’s top fishing destination. Take a short stroll to the world-famous JB’s Fish Camp, or explore nearby parks, boat ramps, and courts for tennis and pickleball. Vibrant dining, shopping, and nightlife await just a short drive away on Flagler Avenue and Historic Canal Street. You're also only 30 minutes from Daytona International Speedway and just over an hour from Orlando’s world-renowned theme parks and championship-level golf courses.
This home has been thoughtfully upgraded for quality and durability, with a full Tyvek wrap and Hardie Board siding (2018), a new roof with upgraded shingles and underlayment (2018), rebuilt decks with premium lumber, and HVAC units with extended warranties (upstairs unit new in 2022). Additional features include a termite bond, oak flooring in the second-floor living room, front and rear balconies, and a first-floor wraparound wood deck.
Whether you're seeking a tranquil full-time residence, a weekend coastal getaway, or a savvy investment property, this Bethune Beach gem delivers historic charm and modern convenience in equal measure. Embrace a lifestyle of kayaking with dolphins, watching space launches from your rooftop, or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty of panoramic water views. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of paradise—schedule your private tour today and experience seaside living at its finest.
