Welcome to paradise at this three-story, iconic 5,000-plus-square-foot Mediterranean-style pool home on a 125-foot-wide lot in Bethune Beach. Just near the Indian River and three blocks from the no-drive beach. Pulling into the circular drive, a rarity in Bethune Beach, you will notice the grand entrance with beautiful iron gates. Once inside the gates, you will discover a tiled fountain and hand-carved arched entry doors from Ecuador. Once you enter the home, you will be greeted by an oversized foyer with natural stone flooring and a grand curved staircase. The first-floor family room includes a wine room with 90-bottle cooler, fireplace, billiards table, bar and yes, a window that looks into the swimming pool! Finding your way up the grand staircase, you will be captivated by the spectacular living room with a 19-foot ceiling and stained-glass windows. Wood beams accent the dining room ceiling and a brick archway frames the entrance to the kitchen. Step outside to the second-floor resort-style deck with an outside grill featuring a 22-by-32-foot-long, 8-foot-deep pool with retractable awning and heated spa. The oversized owner's suite includes a soaking tub and a walk-in closet. Details throughout the house include two- and three-piece crown molding, mahogany solid core doors, tile wall murals and designer lighting fixtures. Each bedroom has an en suite and the second-floor bath serves as a pool bath. Enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Indian River from several vantage points throughout the house. Take in the sunrise from the third-floor walkway that overlooks the expansive second-floor pool deck. Venture up to the rooftop deck to enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Indian River and Atlantic Ocean. Also, an ideal spot to take in a rocket launch. This home was once owned by Bob Ross Inc. and used as an artist's retreat. Drop your boat less than two miles away at the pristine Canaveral Seashore State Park or your paddleboard, just close to the river access.
