Property Description

Welcome to your own slice of coastal paradise, where luxury, comfort, and the laid-back
charm of beachside living come together beautifully. Ideally located between the lively
atmosphere of Flagler Avenue—with its beach access, restaurants, and
entertainment—and the local historic charm of Canal Street, this exceptional home
places the very best of New Smyrna Beach right at your doorstep. Spend your days
exploring boutique shops, dining at local favorites, cruising by golf cart, or enjoying a
sunset bike ride through one of the area’s most sought-after
neighborhoods.  Thoughtfully crafted by Hickson Construction, this custom-built, owner
designed, raised slab-on-grade, residence offers quality craftsmanship and an
impressive collection of upgrades designed for both everyday comfort and effortless
entertaining. The heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen featuring premium Bosch
appliances, a gas cooktop, Viking exhaust hood, Insta-hot faucet, pot filler, farmhouse
sink, two closet type pantries, spacious center island, and breakfast bar—perfect for
gathering with family and friends.  All plumbing fixtures are premium units that were
over a $13,000.00 upgrade over the builder’s construction allowance. Inside, you’ll find
rich hardwood flooring, a stunning natural gas stone fireplace, plantation shutters
throughout, crown molding, volume and tray ceilings, built-in speakers, custom lighting,
and countless architectural details throughout. The two separate 18-month-old
Mitsubishi ducted mini-split inverter A/C units feature UV lights for sanitation. The
spacious owner’s suite provides a private retreat with a jetted garden tub, dual vanities,
and spa-like ambiance. Additional features include a whole-house, lighting arrestor,
surge protector, centralized UPS battery bank with dedicated outlets throughout the
house for sensitive equipment as well as a natural gas whole house generator, central
vacuum system, tankless gas water heater, security/camera system, storm shutters,
abundant storage, a climate-controlled attic space, and an enclosed porch complete
with A/C, beverage cooler, and TV hookup.  This area was included in the living
area.  Step outside and discover a true nature-preserve-type backyard oasis
overlooking a peaceful pond. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the resort-style
outdoor living area features a tiki hut with outdoor kitchen and bar, natural gas grill,
firepit, gas tiki torches, spa, wood decking, TV hookup, and beautifully illuminated
tropical landscaping. Whether you’re hosting guests or unwinding after a day at the
beach, this private retreat offers the perfect setting.  Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate
the outdoor shower, kayak launch area, brick pavers, irrigation system, expanded
parking for an RV or boat, 30-amp & sewer RV hookups, hardware for air compressor
station and elevated construction under the porch design providing ample space for
recreational toys and storage.  Listen to the sounds of the ocean from your very own
waterfront backyard and catch one of the frequent rocket launches that light up the night
sky.  This immaculate well-kept one-of-a-kind home captures the very essence of
Florida coastal living—where every day feels like a vacation and every detail has been
thoughtfully designed to enhance your lifestyle. Property may be under audio and/or video surveillance.
