A special note:

This beautiful custom built spacious home received a certificate of occupancy in 2002. Built in features took another six months to complete. With 2600 square feet of living space, all air conditioned with two separate systems, the home is quite livable.

The floor plan was drawn to assure spacious and comfortable rooms and to maximize cross ventilation.  As a result , all rooms have windows.  The breezy and delightful winter season on the Treasure Coast can't be really appreciated without adequate cross ventilation. The kitchen and living room are both particularly spacious and the space can be easily altered to complement any lifestyle from informal to formal.  It's an ideal house for a family with a teenager or a family needing privacy from a teenager, an older couple needing help from live-in caregivers, or those needing private/separate living quarters for a parent/parents or a handicapped child or adult. 

The house has been occupied by an individual owner for two years. The house was built in the middle of two lots, and is 110' long and 26' wide at the widest point.  This 1/2 acre setting offers added privacy and the flexibility to add a screened enclosure, with or without a pool, additional garage space, special landscaping or some other construction that the new owners would find desirable.  Mechanically the house was built to the highest building standards available. From all copper plumbing to hurricane protection above average, the house is a well built unit. If compared to other newly built homes in the area, it would win in every category. 

You will find no metal stud construction, no plastic water supply lines, no walls  uninsulated, no particle board anywhere, no chip board for the roof, no aluminum soffit material, and on and on. See it all for yourself.

Many native pine trees are scattered around the property. Five Florida maple trees were planted at the rear of the property, to provide future shade and screening, and they are thriving. The house is 2,600 square feet and is frame construction, well insulated and solidly and correctly built.  There was no damage to the house during last season's hurricanes.  This is a testament to the engineering of the building, the materials selected, and the high quality of the workmen. Frame homes take excellent carpenters to come out as well as this one did. Luckily this home was built when carpenters were available. Now in 2005 it is hard to find anyone to build anything except concrete, block and steel. The only homes built with wood these days are larger custom homes.

The house has three bedrooms, with one off the breezeway. This area is currently being used as a computer room and library.  This room has one complete wall of custom storage for banker's boxes, and collectibles. The three bedrooms aren't contiguous which also assures privacy.  The master bedroom suite and the guest bedroom suite are separated by the large living room and the computer room/library (3rd bedroom ) is separated by the enclosed breezeway that connects to the large kitchen/dining area.  The kitchen/dining room is also separated from the breezeway by a lockable door that allows the area from the breezeway towards the garage to be used as a separate suite.  

The rooms are designed so that their function can be changed to suit the needs of the new owner. There are many possibilities depending on life style. The home is immaculate. The result is a comfortable home which is strong and secure as evidenced by the fact that when hurricanes Frances and Jeanne came through in 2004, the house sustained no damage whatever.

Beauty as well as security of living in a well built structure are the important aspects of this home. This custom built hand finished home is exquisite with light colors to fully compliment the spaciousness. Please read on to see what other specific features are present.
