160 Island Cottage Lane , Vero Beach, FL 32963(Indian River County)

Located in prestigious Indian River Shores, The Estuary is a guarded/gated community of 89 luxury homes under a canopy of mature oaks and nestled between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. Canal and riverfront homes provide access for boating enthusiasts, while lakeside and courtyard homes provide a more tropical feel. The Estuary's winding roads are lined with old oak trees and manicured tropical foliage surrounding the common areas. Conveniently located to both Vero Beach and Sebastian, you will enjoy an array of fine dining, casual eateries, golf, museums, beach and water sport areas, and upscale shopping. This cottage style home has been lived in part time by a couple of snowbirds/lovebirds who are moving back near out-of-state family, and you will appreciate the meticulous care this home has had, in addition to the many upgrades. When you pull into the oversized paver driveway, you will appreciate the mature landscape, the cul-de-sac location, and the tranquility of the neighborhood. Every home is meticulous and the trees are simply magnificent. The homeowners association does a marvelous job keeping up the landscaping, irrigation, roads, etc. so you never have to give it a second thought. Ready to buy and take advantage of todays interest rates and prices before they go up, even if you are not quite ready to move? These sellers are planning to move in June but would love to find a buyer who can wait for possession and rent back, giving you some time and wiggle room, especially in the midst of all that is going on around us. And once you see this home, you will surely not mind the brief wait to make it yours. Built in 2001, this home boasts over 2,500 sf of luxe spaces with a versatile, split floorplan that you can customize to your lifestyle. For instance, the large living room with a fireplace was better suited as a dining room for the current owners because they love to entertain, but you could easily shift things around for your own needs. Of course you will likely spend all your time in the grand family room or out on the oversized south-facing lanai anyway, because the lake views and native wildlife (great horned owls, egrets and more) will captivate your attention and your heart. There has been a lot of care and love put into this home, including Brazilian cherry wood flooring, tray ceilings, crown molding, solid wood interior doors, a gas fireplace, granite counters, plantation shutters, surround sound inside and out, custom cabinetry, custom lighting inside and out, security system with motion and breakage sensors on satellite, a pool recently resurfaced and with all new equipment, newer appliances and upgraded water heater and AC unit, a tile roof, paver driveway, oversized garage, full storm shutters, and more. Beach access is a short five minute walk away, secluded and private where you will likely have the whole beach virtually to yourself. Ready to have a look?
