Résidence Unifamiliale à Ormond Beach

A truly remarkable custom coastal farmhouse sits high above the Halifax River on a beautiful, oak-shaded parcel just one block from trendy West Granada Boulevard. Built in 1998, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath pool home was thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the century-old neighboring estates that define this historic stretch of waterfront. A long driveway of herringbone pavers winds upward to an elevated brick front porch, where French doors open into gracious living spaces featuring soaring volume ceilings and wide-plank Georgia heart-pine floors. The grand poolside living room flows into a waterfront island kitchen outfitted with high-end appliances, custom solid-wood cabinetry, and a dramatic wood-burning fireplace as its centerpiece. The generous riverfront dining room captures sweeping water views through a wall of glass framed by beautiful Pella windows. On the ground floor, a private guest suite with its own bath overlooks the pool and gardens and sits adjacent to a handsome library/home office. Upstairs, three gracious bedrooms and two baths include a spectacular waterfront primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a riverfront sitting room, and an expansive walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The primary bath leaves nothing to be desired--natural light pours in through plantation shutters onto dual vanities, a spacious glass-enclosed shower, a water closet, and a freestanding soaking tub. A third-floor suite, reached by its own staircase and complete with a private bath, offers the perfect private retreat. Outdoor living spaces invite year-round enjoyment. A covered and screened porch with tongue-and-groove ceilings and a brick floor overlooks the pool and gardens, functioning as an open-air living room. The private pool provides the ideal place to cool off after a day on the water, surrounded by ample patio space for sunbathing. Tucked behind the neighboring property, a secluded alcove extends the back lawn with a hardscaped paver deck centered on a custom firepit--perfect for stargazing on cool evenings.
The detached two-car garage, accessed via a deeded easement off Highland Avenue, easily accommodates large vehicles and includes a generous workshop/storage area. A covered boathouse with a lift and spacious deck offers the perfect spot to relax or fish right from home. The location is second to none. Fine dining, casual tiki bars, a charming coffee shop, boutique shopping, and art galleries are all just steps from the front porch--walkability at its absolute best.
