2145 S Tropical Trail

Merritt Island is considered Florida's largest island. The beautiful and historic Banana and Indian Rivers border this sunny strip. The sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches are just minutes away. This scenic island is a hub for the space program, hosting the Kennedy Space Center, Blue Origin, and SpaceX. Celebrate extraordinary views of stratospheric rocket launches from the privacy of your own backyard! South Merritt Estates is lined with charming homes and private boat docks, and there is a community boat launch for residents to use and enjoy. All local schools are within a two to ten-minute commute. Nearby is a wide variety of shopping, tasty restaurants, and other everyday conveniences. It's about an hour to the Orlando International Airport and the theme parks!

With sweeping waterside views from EVERY room, this two-story Indian Riverfront beauty satisfies all the desires of artistry and function. Enjoy a waterside deck and dock! The property boasts a 2021 80-foot dock, a NEWER seawall, a NEW metal roof, protective impact windows, and sophisticated interior updates. Wrapped in clean white exterior paint, lovely first impressions include light grey bricks paved around a half-moon driveway, curving up to a wood-ceilinged screened entry, and a contemporary glass front door. 

An impressive foyer gives way to a modern staircase adorned with cable-style railing and dark wood-look luxury vinyl plank floors cascading through bright, open living and dining spaces accompanied by two sets of triple glass sliders framing endless riverscapes. Recessed lighting crowns a pair of distinct living areas that flow into generous dining made for gracious coastal gatherings. The stylish adjoining kitchen exhibits white quartz counters with a waterfall-edged island, a prep sink, stainless steel appliances, a flattop stove, a wall oven, a stacked microwave, and crisp white cabinetry. Open all the sliders and celebrate breezy indoor/outdoor entertaining! This layout is the perfect platform for family, friends, and memorable island affairs!

This home offers splendid upstairs and downstairs suites. Both showcase deluxe appointments and ravishing riverfront vistas! The first-floor suite provides a walk-in closet with custom organizers, personal porch access, and broad river scenes. Savor your morning coffee on the screened lanai! The ensuite is designed with hexagonal tile floors, dual stone sinks, a freestanding tub, and a shower with penny-tile flooring. 

Up the handsome staircase is the second suite, flaunting a custom walk-in closet and access to the screened balcony overlooking the rippling riverfront. Relish sunsets on the terrace with a tropical drink! The attached bath boasts brushed gold hardware, a shower with pebbled tile flooring, and a veined stone vanity with twin sinks. Two more second-floor bedrooms feature sliders to the balcony. A hall bath grants a tile tub/shower combination and a stone-laid sink. These are ample accommodations for kids or special guests. The expansive screened balcony is topped with an attractive wood ceiling and presents pulchritudinous views of the water. Sit back and relax!

Back on the first floor, a half bath is convenient for party guests and quick pit stops. The supersized laundry/mudroom is equipped with cabinetry, an exterior door for easy access during yard work, and entry to the garage. It's an ideal drop-off spot for groceries, backpacks, shoes, and sports gear. 

The property's outdoor living is an airy companion to the beautiful indoor amenities. Unwind and relax on the shady screened lanai underscored with bouncy pebbled flooring. Host year-round barbecues and enjoy gardening in the grassy backyard. Lounge on the large deck, while watching dolphins frolic, manatees play, and birds dive for food. Fish from your private dock. All overlook the glistening river waters beyond. The backyard shed comes in handy for storing yard tools and water toys. 

This is Florida waterfront living at its finest. Welcome to the Island!
