THE SHORES

Location

Shores Drive, Vero Beach, Florida. This serene gated community is close to the beach in Indian River Shores.

Property

This beautiful lakefront estate built in 2001 enjoys the seclusion of a 1.3±-acre double homesite in Vero Beach. Classic archways hallmark the architect-designed custom-built residence with a charming Old World sensibility. Outdoor entertaining is the focus of the wraparound screened lanai with summer kitchen and bar, edging a lakeside patio with gorgeous beach-entry tropical pool and spa.

Residence

Expertly engineered, this gracefully flowing residence capitalizes on the lakeside scenery in 6,954± total square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3½ baths, tumbled marble floors, high-tech systems, air-conditioned storage room, and 3-bay garage. Carved mahogany doors prelude the formal foyer and faux-finished living room with fireplace flanked by built-ins. Handsome cherry built-ins line the coffered-ceiling library. The bright, tray-ceilinged formal dining room is served by the ultimate chef’s kitchen featuring furniture-grade cabinetry, granite counters and Dacor/GE Monogram appliances. The lakeside breakfast bay adjoins the custom-appointed family room opening to the lanai and a fountain courtyard. Adjacent are a large bar and decoratively painted powder room. Embellished with intricate hand-painted details, the magnificent master suite offers customized closets and a resplendent marble bath with spa tub and glassed shower. Hand-painted murals adorn the sunny octagonal lakefront study, an exquisite jewel-box replica of England’s Brighton Pavilion. In the opposite wing, 2 guest bedroom suites complete this wonderful Vero Beach residence.
