Sunsets That Steal the Show

Every evening delivers a spectacle across the Banana River, where wide-open skies shift from gold to rose to deep violet. From this northwest corner residence inside Puerto Del Rio, the wraparound balcony becomes your private front-row seat to a horizon alive with cruise ships, waterfront wildlife, and rocket launches. Inside, the 2,434-square-foot interior unfolds in soft natural light, enhanced by custom-painted walls and an open design that keeps the river in view from multiple angles. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a thoughtful mix of upgraded finishes, the home reflects over two decades of careful, limited use.

Welcome In: Foyer, Dining & Great Room Flow

The foyer sets an inviting tone with magnetic door holdbacks, a motion-activated light, and custom fixtures that guide you inward. Ceramic tile carries through the hallways and dining room, creating a polished, low-maintenance foundation. The great room centers the home with upgraded carpeting, natural light filtered through Hunter Douglas pleated shades, and floor plugs that support flexible furniture layouts. Expansive sliders open directly to the balcony, keeping the riverfront backdrop ever-present.

Riverfront Living: Kitchen, Breakfast Space & Balcony Connection

The kitchen blends warmth and practicality with bamboo flooring, white solid-wood beveled cabinetry, soft-close features, and pull-out drawers. Silestone countertops pair with a stainless-steel Houzer double sink and Delta touch faucet for everyday ease. Under-cabinet lighting adds a soft glow, while dimmable LEDs above the bar elevate evening gatherings. New 2024 LG appliances include a convection range with double oven, microwave, dishwasher, and French-door refrigerator. The breakfast area transitions naturally to the balcony for uninterrupted water views.

A Peaceful Escape: Primary Bedroom, En-Suite & Closet Suite

The primary bedroom features room-darkening cordless shades by Springs and a calm environment designed for rest. The en-suite showcases marble countertops, double sinks, a jetted tub, a spacious shower with frosted glass door, Moen fixtures, and a linen closet. A Kohler commode with soft-close seat and dimmable lighting complete the space. Two primary closets offer California Closet organization with upgraded lighting, and the 2024 impact window with 3M tint enhances comfort and protection.

Flexible & Functional: Guest Bedrooms, Guest Bath & Laundry

Two guest bedrooms adapt easily to visitors, hobbies, or an office. One offers vinyl plank flooring and Hunter Douglas verticals, while the others feature upgraded carpeting and custom window treatments. The guest bath includes a marble countertop, frosted glass shower, Moen fixtures, safety bars, and a motion-activated light over the Kohler commode. The utility room adds efficiency with upper cabinets, wall-to-ceiling storage, an in-wall ironing board, a utility tub, and a GE front-load washer and dryer on pedestals.

The Wraparound Moment: Balcony & Outdoor Living

The 477-square-foot wraparound balcony defines the home’s signature experience with sweeping westward views across the Banana River. It becomes a daily sanctuary for watching rocket launches, passing boats, and sunsets that feel almost cinematic. 3M tint on west-facing sliders reduces glare while preserving the panorama, and hurricane shutters throughout offer peace of mind. With generous outdoor space and constant breezes, this balcony functions as an extension of everyday living.

Everyday Comforts: Systems, Storage & Peace-of-Mind Features

Comfort continues with a Rheem 14 SEER heat pump (2018), hardwired smoke detectors replaced in 2018, and Hunter ceiling fans in all bedrooms. A Stiebel tankless water heater ensures efficiency, while the living room fan offers quiet circulation without a light attachment. Tinted west sliders and the new impact master window strengthen storm protection. In the garage, three Rubbermaid storage bins and a reserved parking space add everyday convenience.

Resort Living at Its Best: Amenities That Elevate Every Day

Puerto Del Rio delivers a lifestyle shaped by recreation and true waterfront enjoyment. The community spans 700 feet of Banana River shoreline with a dedicated launch area for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Two resort-style pools, two jacuzzis, a fitness center, and a recreation room enhance daily living, supported by secure lobbies with elevators, a clubhouse, assigned garage parking, and on-site storage. A vehicle wash area and pet-friendly policies add practicality, and included services—cable TV, internet, water, trash removal, and grounds and structure maintenance—streamline ownership alongside attentive live-in management.
