Description

A RARE OVER-HALF-ACRE HOME WITH SPACE, CHARACTER & NO HOA. This is the property buyers wait for: an upscale, updated home offering exceptional land and massive rooms, a modern split floor plan and remarkable value—especially with a nearby half-acre home selling for $670,000. Inside, hardwood and tile flooring, fresh paint and new bedroom carpet complement multiple living areas, a propane fireplace and bright sunroom/second den. The large eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, glass-front displays, Corian countertops, center island, pantry and outstanding storage. The private primary suite offers a huge walk-in closet, separate vanity/makeup area, soaking tub and separate shower. Add an oversized side-load garage, huge driveway, storm shutters, public water and a new rear roof with warranty. Minutes from the Indian River, Atlantic beaches, 192, I-95, Viera and Suntree—this is rare Space Coast living with land, quality, location and no HOA. ROOM TO LIVE. ROOM TO BREATHE. THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS SCALE, CUSTOM QUALITY AND LIVABILITY. From the curb, the home has the presence buyers expect from a much more expensive property: a broad, beautifully maintained lawn, classic brick architecture, a substantial driveway and an oversized side-load garage that keeps the front elevation clean and refined. The dead-end street adds separation from through traffic, and pride of ownership is evident throughout the surrounding homes. Inside, the home is defined by MASSIVE ROOMS and a floor plan that gives everyone room to spread out without losing connection. Beautiful hardwood flooring brings warmth through the main living areas, tile provides durability through the other common spaces, and the bedrooms have brand-new carpet. Fresh interior paint gives the home a crisp, move-in-ready presentation. Multiple true living areas add flexibility, while the propane fireplace creates a strong architectural focal point. The modern SPLIT FLOOR PLAN is one of the home's smartest features. The primary suite is privately positioned away from the secondary sleeping wing, creating the separation buyers increasingly want. The suite is generously proportioned and includes a large walk-in closet plus a separate vanity and makeup area outside the main bath. The updated primary bath includes dual sinks with granite surfaces, a separate soaking tub and a tiled walk-in shower with built-in bench. The secondary bath has also been completely updated with granite, an upgraded vanity and tiled shower, plus direct access to the sunroom/den area for added convenience. THE KITCHEN IS ONE OF THE TRUE SHOWPIECES OF THE HOME. This is not a standard builder kitchen; it is a large, custom, eat-in kitchen designed around storage, function and entertaining. Custom white cabinetry wraps the room and includes extensive glass-front display cabinets that give the space a tailored, furniture-quality feel. Corian countertops provide generous workspace, while the center island adds another substantial preparation and serving area. A designer hood creates a dramatic focal point over the range, and the large opening toward the sunroom/den visually connects the kitchen to the home's additional living space. Storage in this kitchen is exceptional. In addition to the extensive custom cabinetry, there is a MASSIVE FOOD PANTRY, so groceries and bulk items do not have to consume valuable cabinet space. A built-in desk and planning area provides a dedicated place for schedules, paperwork or household organization, while a separate WINE/BEVERAGE REFRIGERATOR gives you dedicated cold storage for wine, drinks and entertaining. The glass-front cabinetry, beverage center, oversized pantry, desk area, island and abundant counters make this kitchen as functional as it is distinctive. Dining options are outstanding. The kitchen has its own casual EAT-IN DINING AREA for everyday meals, while a TRUE FORMAL DINING ROOM sits directly beside the kitchen and provides the space to host holidays, dinner parties and larger gatherings comfortably. You are not choosing between casual dining and formal entertaining here; you have both. The relationship between the kitchen and dining room makes serving guests easy. Beyond the primary living and family areas is a bright sunroom/second den that feels completely integrated into the house. Walls of windows bring in natural light, tile flooring keeps the space easy to live with, and exposed brick adds architectural detail. It works as another true living area and gives the home even more depth and flexibility. Functionality continues in the dedicated laundry room, which offers direct access to both the garage and the exterior, adding real everyday convenience. The oversized side-load garage includes a large dedicated storage closet, adding valuable organized storage without sacrificing parking. The exterior is where this property becomes almost impossible to duplicate at this price point. The over-half-acre homesite provides a broad, open setting with a beautifully maintained lawn and refreshed landscaping. The backyard is notably PRIVATE, giving you room to enjoy the outdoors without feeling exposed to neighboring homes. A block patio creates an established outdoor entertaining area, and an OUTDOOR SHOWER adds a distinctly Florida feature that is practical after yard work, beach days, pets or future pool use. There is real flexibility outside. The homesite offers substantial room for entertaining, gardening, recreation and future outdoor improvements while preserving plenty of open lawn. There may also be space for recreational vehicles or an RV, subject to local codes, setbacks and permitting. The land creates possibilities compact subdivision lots simply cannot offer. NO HOA adds another level of freedom. You have the benefit of an established neighborhood with beautiful surrounding homes and visible pride of ownership, but without an HOA dictating every detail of how the property is used. Important Florida ownership features are already in place. Storm shutters provide added protection, irrigation supports the lawn and landscaping, and the home is served by public water. The seller reports an existing termite bond. The main roof is reported by the seller to be approximately eight years old, while the rear roof is NEW and carries a WARRANTY. THE LOCATION IS OUTSTANDING because it connects nearly every part of the Space Coast lifestyle. The Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic beaches are close enough to be part of everyday life, not an occasional trip. Indialantic and Melbourne Beach are an easy drive for beach mornings, surfing, sunrise walks and waterfront dining, with the Indian River even closer for boating, fishing and kayaking. At the same time, the home remains convenient to everything on the mainland. The 192 corridor provides quick access to shopping, restaurants, services, medical care and everyday conveniences, while I-95 creates an efficient north-south connection throughout Brevard County and into Central Florida. Melbourne Orlando International Airport is convenient, with Orlando accessible via I-95 and the Beachline. Heading north, SUNTREE and VIERA are close enough to be part of your normal routine. Viera offers The Avenue Viera, Brevard Zoo, Duran Golf Club, major medical facilities, shopping, dining, sports and recreation, while Suntree adds established golf, dining and access to the north Melbourne/Viera corridor. Historic Downtown Melbourne and the Eau Gallie Arts District add another layer of lifestyle appeal with locally owned restaurants, boutiques, galleries, entertainment, events and waterfront destinations. Major aerospace, engineering, defense, technology and medical employers are also readily accessible. The neighborhood itself strengthens the value story. Nearby large-lot sales have already demonstrated substantially higher pricing, including a half-acre home that sold for $670,000. This property gives buyers the opportunity to purchase a substantial updated home on more land in an established setting where significantly higher values have already been achieved. While no future value can ever be guaranteed, the surrounding sales demonstrate strong neighborhood support. What makes this home compelling is the COMPLETE PACKAGE. You are getting custom features, oversized rooms, a modern split layout, multiple living areas, a showpiece eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry and massive pantry storage, a formal dining room, updated bathrooms, a private primary suite, dedicated laundry, oversized garage, exceptional storage, private outdoor space, a block patio, outdoor shower, more than half an acre and no HOA, all in one centrally located Space Coast property. The value is built into the property itself: land, scale, architecture, custom cabinetry, storage, garage space, multiple living areas, formal and casual dining, privacy, location and flexibility. These are difficult, expensive features to reproduce. For buyers focused on getting the MOST HOME AND PROPERTY FOR THE MONEY, this deserves serious attention. The combination of interior scale, custom features, entertaining space, outdoor room and neighborhood strength is difficult to match. You are buying a substantial property with room to live now and room to evolve over time. This is a home that works just as well for everyday life as it does for entertaining. The kitchen can handle a crowd, the formal dining room can seat guests for holidays and dinner parties, the eat-in area handles casual meals, the living areas give people room to spread out, the sunroom/den adds another place to gather, the secondary bath offers convenient access from that side of the house, the laundry room connects directly to the garage and outdoors, and the backyard offers privacy and established entertaining space. The lifestyle is just as compelling. Start the morning near the ocean, spend the afternoon shopping or dining in Viera, enjoy an evening along the Indian River or Downtown Melbourne, and come home to a private large-lot setting on a dead-end street with room around you. Coastal access, mainland convenience, land, privacy and a substantial custom-quality home all come together here. THIS PROPERTY IS DIFFERENT. It offers the kind of scale, custom detail, land and flexibility buyers normally expect at a much higher price point. For the buyer who wants something more substantial than the standard inventory, more room inside, more room outside, more privacy, more storage, more freedom and more potential, this is an opportunity worth seeing in person.
