7960 S Tropical Trl

COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREA
Considered Florida's largest island, Merritt Island is bordered by the glistening, historic Banana and Indian Rivers. The sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches are just minutes away. This sunny coastal locale features a wide range of single-family home communities, condominiums, townhomes, and luxury waterfront estates. Tropical Trail is a beloved corridor running north and south through the heart of the island and along the rippling river banks. Much of the northern shores are home to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Blue Origin, and SpaceX, putting the area at center stage for the latest innovations in space exploration and stellar rocket launches. The southern shores offer scenic riverside roads and waterfront properties like those in South Banyan Isles. Residents here are ten minutes from Patrick Space Force Base and a quick one-minute drive from the Pineda Causeway, leading west to the mainland and east to the beaches. Northrop Grumman and the Harris Corporation campuses are a twenty-minute commute. It's fourteen minutes to Ocean Breeze Elementary and ten minutes to DeLaura Middle School and Satellite High. Be at the Orlando International Airport and the theme parks in about an hour!

PROPERTY SUMMARY

IMPRESSIVE APPOINTMENTS
Five minutes from the ocean, this half-acre Banana Riverfront beauty is topped with a 2019 roof, privately shaded with lush tropical foliage, and introduced with a semi-circle driveway and double front doors. Upon entering, you're treated to eye-candy views of the expansive backyard and far-reaching vistas of one of the widest spots on the river. Glass French doors and generous windows off the formal living and dining areas infuse the home with natural light and showcase the extravagant waterside. A coral stone fireplace adds a warm, coastal touch. Plantation shutters compliment hardwood and wood-look tile floors coursing through the bright, sunny spaces. The large family room features a picture window framing the river along with a HUGE slider to the patio, creating a seamless platform for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Granite sweeps across the breakfast bar kitchen stocked with stainless steel appliances, light-colored cabinetry, and a built-in desk for your laptop and recipe research. A charming bay window curves around the casual dining nook overlooking the pool and water. It's a delightful spot for morning meals and catching up with the family over dinner. The owner's retreat is a relaxing escape, flaunting gorgeous river views, French door patio access, a walk-in closet with custom organizers, and an elegant ensuite. Celebrate dual marbled stone sinks, a classic clawfoot tub, and a tiled shower with pebbled flooring. Simply divine! Across the hall from the primary suite is a sizable bedroom ideal for an office or baby nursery. A nearby bath offers a stone-topped vanity, a tiled shower, and a glass door to the pool. This is ultra-convenient for water-soaked kids and outdoor guests. On the other side of the home, two additional bedrooms flank a bath with a tiled tub/shower combination, a comfortable set-up for the kiddos or overnight visitors. The laundry room is located next to the three-car garage entry, making it an easy drop-off spot for beach towels and sports gear.

AMAZING OUTDOORS
Step out onto the raised patio and take it all in...a glistening fountain pool, an expansive grassy backyard, and breathtaking riverscapes! Enjoy lounging on the patio or feasting on good food alfresco-style with family and friends while the kids splash around in the pool. The big backyard is perfect for gardening and interactive games. Set up a table and chairs along the grassy canvas where you can sit, relax, and unwind while gazing out at the rippling riverfront scenes. The current boat dock/lift needs repairs or replacement, but the deep waters at the seawall are boater-friendly, producing endless possibilities for new and improved waterside fun.

A beautiful property boasting updated features, a big backyard, refreshing outdoor amusements, and sweeping Banana Riverfront views. What a way to inject some spark, spunk, and spirit into your new Florida lifestyle! WELCOME HOME!
