One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This gorgeous contemporary home sits high above the Intracoastal Waterway on the coveted John Anderson corridor. It offers fabulous panoramic views from a unique elevated vantage point, as if cantilevered over the magnificent Halifax River. Custom-built in 1997 for an owner seeking low maintenance waterfront living on one lofty level; it includes a cavernous lower-level bonus room. On the spacious main floor, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths surround a beautiful riverfront great room and fireplace. The living room and dining room are open to the fabulous eat-in kitchen, creating a phenomenal light-filled space beneath vaulted ceilings, with multiple French doors opening directly to the new custom Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) waterfront balcony verandah. The primary suite occupies the south end of the home with French doors to the verandah, a spacious walk-in closet, and a completely renovated bathroom with desirable raised vanities, water closet, and new walk-in marble shower (2023). Two additional bedrooms share a renovated bath on the opposite side of the home, offering guests privacy in a separate wing. The second bedroom overlooks the water with French doors. The third bedroom views the front garden and has a built-in Murphy bed for multi-use options. The gourmet kitchen features updated appliances with double ovens, stone countertops over custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, a breakfast bar, and a waterfront breakfast nook. The pantry/utility room and nearby laundry room flank the kitchen at the top of a short staircase to the 2+ car garage. The adjacent unique 27' by 65' bonus room offers endless possibilities. It could be opened to be a "toy barn" for vehicle collection or used as a hobby, media, or game room. Beneath the verandah, a new custom built-in exterior kitchen (2022) features Viking stainless steel appliances (grill, side burner, refrigerator and smoker oven) and a granite countertop. The deepwater dock has a boat lift and wide deck for fishing or sunbathing, an aluminum swim ladder and kayak launch/rack system for water sports are fun. The front is complemented with native succulents, palm trees, a white gated fence, and new paver parking (2022). This home is presented in immaculate turn-key condition, ready for immediate occupancy. Additional features include: fresh exterior and interior whole-house painting (2023); new Ipe wood balcony with invisible stainless steel rod railing (2023); new carpeting (2023); new LED ceiling lights (2023); new electric panel (2022); new storm-rated windows (2019); new air conditioning (2019); and newer roofing (2017). BRAND NEW KITCHEN APPLIANCES: top GE Profile combo oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The views of the river, the thin natural island on the opposite shoreline, and the Tomoka River Basin beyond must be seen to be believed!
