Dale Sorensen Real EstateVERO BEACH, FL – Dale Sorensen Real Estate sales associates Andonia Kleopoulos and Mike Young have listed a magnificent art filled home, in the Avalon community on Hutchinson Island, an area known for large mansions. The home, located at 172 Ocean Estates Drive, is listed for $1 million. 

“This home is an amazing property in a great community, listed for an unbelievable price,” Kleopoulos said. “There is so much room in this home for a large family, multi-generational family or for hosting friends and family from afar. But the best part of this home is the collection of contemporary art, which fills the home with bright colors and beautiful reflections of light. I love showing this home to prospective buyers and watching their faces when they walk in the door.”

At 4,984 square feet, this three-story home overlooks a lake with a very pretty water feature. Balconies on the second and third floors overlook the Indian River Lagoon and the fenced in backyard featuring a brick paver firepit and a pristine pool featuring fountains and surrounded by golden-warm brick pavers. The outdoor area is filled with amazing bronze sculptures by famed artist J. Seward Johnson of children playing and whimsical wildlife. There is a large-screened lanai with a built-in summer kitchen. Balconies on the front of the home have views of the beach and riverfront accesses. 

The gorgeous modern kitchen features dark oak cabinetry, stainless hardware, granite counter tops with an extra-large granite island with seating for five. The appliances are professional grade including a six-burner Wolf oven and range with large hood. Floors throughout the main downstairs living areas are caramel colored marble. The kitchen has a most extraordinary chandelier, a work of art, set within the tray ceiling. The open kitchen/family room area includes a gas fireplace with a contemporary tiled surround reaching to the tray ceiling. The family room is so large it currently, and comfortably, hosts a pool table. Three sets of French glass doors lead from the kitchen and family room to the lanai. 

A double flight of stairs leads to the second floor. The home also has an elevator to the second and third floors. This home features seven bedrooms, all with lovely warm hard wood floors, large windows allowing for lots of sunlight and most with access to the balconies. The six baths are works of art themselves with stylish cabinetry, sinks and hardware, beautiful tiles and roomy showers and tubs. 

This home is filled with contemporary works of art, created with bright blues, greens, yellows and reds, all shown off against walls of creamy white wainscoting panels. 

The area is known for adults and children fishing on the banks of the river and on the dog-friendly beach, perfect for those family memories. The location of the Indian River in the backyard of this home is perfect for kayakers and paddleboards, and those seeking an active lifestyle.
