JESSICA HALL
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the serene Indian River Lagoon estuary, Vero Beach, Florida, is a hidden gem that has long been cherished by the ultra-wealthy seeking a retreat from bustling city life. Often dubbed “The Hamptons of the South,” this cozy beach town’s allure lies in its commitment to preserving its tranquility, with strict building codes that forbid high-rises and franchised shops from encroaching on its small-town feel.
Ocean Drive stands as the epitome of boutique shopping. The abundance of barrier island golf courses, many of which offer scenic ocean or river views, presents a haven for golf enthusiasts. The land value in Vero Beach trails behind areas like Boca Raton and Miami, and therefore makes it a good value in today’s market.
Vero Beach offers luxurious living, reminiscent of Palm Beach and Dade counties many years ago. For those who missed the opportunity to invest in Vero Beach’s real estate earlier, the regretful phrase “Shoulda coulda woulda” often echoes through their minds
.
To discerning buyers, Vero Beach invites you to explore the opportunity of owning a slice of this ocean paradise. Seize the chance to become part of this well-kept secret.
Among the coveted properties that exemplify the beauty and value of Vero Beach living is the understated casual feel at 246 Ocean Way. This estate is situated on an exceptional 120’ x 300’ (.83-acre) lot with 120 feet of pristine ocean frontage. This Bermuda-style home was designed by the esteemed firm of Peacock & Lewis of Palm Beach and built by renowned builder, Carroll Bowser.
The developer of this community maintained a sense of continuity throughout. Winding lanes weave through streets canopied by live oaks, creating a tropical setting for this family-centric neighborhood, which is just minutes from schools, shopping, and dining.
Walking through the custom-designed solid teak entry door, one is enveloped by a sense of sophistication and tropical charm. The open living room and dining area has a soaring 14’ tray ceiling, creating an airy and inviting space that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor space. The custom teak built-ins serve as a focus, while a ceiling skylight allows natural light to cascade down, illuminating the room with a warm glow.
Off the foyer to the right is the library, or the perfect home office. The spaciousness offered by the 14-foot tray ceiling, the privacy granted by the plantation shutters, and the mahogany shelves inspire creativity.
The primary suite has a large dressing room, 5 closets, two bath areas, a tile shower, and plantation shutters, which slide out of the way to fully take in the magnificent ocean views to a private balcony.
The chef’s kitchen, with ocean views, is a culinary enthusiast’s dream, featuring a coral accent wall and custom teak cabinetry meticulously crafted by a local boat builder. Equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Subzero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, Gaggenau cooktop, and two Thermador wall ovens, this kitchen sets the stage for culinary creations.
Upon entering the residence through the front door, guests are welcomed by a visually stunning floating teak staircase. The lower floor boasts a rec room and two en-suite guest bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to open gracefully onto the inviting covered porch on the first level.
Throughout this well-appointed first-floor space, the floors are adorned with colorful Mexican tiles, ensuring any concerns about sandy feet are effortlessly swept away. Conveniently situated near both the two-car garage and a beachside door, the process of transporting beach toys in and out becomes a seamless and enjoyable task, offering endless opportunities for sun-filled play.
At an impressive 1,400 square feet, the flexible recreation room allows residents and guests to connect with the outdoors through its access to the covered porch.
With its versatile layout, this multi-functional space is open to an array of possibilities. Whether utilized as welcoming live-in help quarters, a comfortable mother-in-law suite, a rejuvenating fitness room, or transformed into additional bedrooms to accommodate guests, the space adapts to suit the unique preferences of its occupants.
Beyond the custom-designed interior, 246 Ocean Way boasts an array of features that set it apart. With almost an acre of land, the expansive backyard is perfect for adding a pool, outdoor kitchen, or cabana area, making it an entertainer’s paradise. Electric shutters on the oceanfront windows and doors ensure safety and convenience, while the Bahama shutters on the front and side windows add a touch of seaside charm. The residence is thoughtfully designed with Anderson Windows double-pane throughout and decorative plantation shutters, maintaining the perfect balance between natural light and privacy.
