Description

Set behind a private gate along the coveted Riverside Drive, this extraordinary residence providing two deep water slips is a refined expression of timeless Southern Colonial architecture, thoughtfully designed for modern living in New Smyrna Beach. From the moment you step onto the front porch, the home sets the tone for an elevated lifestyle defined by elegance, privacy, and a seamless connection to the water.
Built in 2012 with enduring craftsmanship, the home’s classic symmetry, deep covered porches, and architectural detailing reflect the grace and longevity of Southern Colonial design. Poured-concrete porches, smooth stucco finishes, brick-accented entry steps, custom fencing, and fiberglass colonial shutters create a composed and welcoming façade, while a commercial-grade gate operator provides secure, seamless entry.
Inside, more than 4,600 square feet of curated living space unfolds across five bedrooms and four full baths, including a fully self-contained in-law suite with its own kitchen, living and dining areas, bath, and private access—ideal for multigenerational living or extended guests. Oak floors in custom lengths and widths ground the main living areas, flowing effortlessly through the open great room and casual dining space with understated sophistication.
The kitchen blends tailored design with effortless functionality, serving as both a visual centerpiece and a highly livable space. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, designer lighting, and a premier appliance suite—including a 48” Sub-Zero refrigerator, 48” Wolf gas range, Cove dishwasher, beverage refrigerator, and pantry—make it perfectly suited for intimate gatherings or elevated entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true spa-like retreat, offering exceptional privacy, comfort, and quiet luxury. A dedicated office, spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, an oversized custom closet, and a private balcony overlooking the Intracoastal create a serene escape that feels both indulgent and restorative. Two additional guest bedrooms are thoughtfully connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, providing comfort and functionality for family or guests.
Outdoors, the private dock delivers true riverfront living, offering direct access to the Intracoastal and effortless boating within minutes of the Yacht Club—where the coastal lifestyle seamlessly blends with an elevated social life.
Designed for comfort and efficiency, the residence features closed-cell insulation, gas tankless water heaters, multiple laundry hookups, enhanced sound insulation between living spaces, and a fully fenced yard. Recent enhancements from 2023–2025 further elevate the home, including new HVAC systems, fresh interior finishes, updated lighting, frameless glass shower enclosures, a whole-home generator, upgraded water filtration, and integrated custom storage throughout.
Outdoor living is further enhanced by redesigned front and rear landscaping and a serene cold plunge added in 2025—creating a private coastal sanctuary just moments from Historic Canal Street, the Yacht Club & the beach. A spacious three-car garage provides ample room for vehicles and storage.
Rooted in timeless Southern Colonial architecture yet tailored for today’s refined coastal lifestyle, this Riverside Drive residence offers classic design, modern luxury, and an exceptional waterfront setting rarely found in New Smyrna Beach. Private showings available by appointment only.
