Welcome to Island Time, a contemporary Bethune Beach waterfront home along the shores of Mosquito Lagoon, the most biologically diverse estuary in North America. Custom built by local builder, B. E. Dillard in 2018-2019, the home is as stunning inside as it is out, allowing the natural world to envelop you in the comfort of its many relaxing spaces~poolside, dockside, on the rooftop observation deck, or on one of its 4 covered porches. The property was built up to 6' high elevations to avoid any chance of the occasional nuisance tide on the island. During construction, exceptional quality was always the goal of both owner and builder. From the street, entry is on the right side of the home; you will know it by its 2-story high tiled wall! The open Foyer shares the 1st floor with a large Master Suite facing a 24’ x 10’ covered porch, screened heated/cooled pool and the lagoon. From the Foyer, transport yourself up one level by use of the (up to) 3-passenger wheelchair accessible pneumatic free-standing residential elevator or custom built open tread staircase to the open living area with a 20' wide set of sliding glass doors that spill out onto the 24’ x 10’ covered porch with retractable screen. Perfect for entertaining, the dining/kitchen has plenty of seating with its large stainless steel counter height breakfast bar and room for a large dining table. The open floor plan exposes the beautiful custom maple kitchen cabinetry with its oversize glass knobs for a touch of elegance. Appliances include a Jenn-Air counter-depth refrigerator/freezer and range/oven; built in stainless steel griddle, Miele coffee system and steam/convection wall oven. The large farmhouse double basin cast iron sink and Jenn-Air dishwasher make kitchen clean-up a breeze! Step out the side patio door and ascend the spiral stairs to a 10’ x 10’ observation deck where one can get a 360 degree birds eye view of the Atlantic Ocean, Mosquito Lagoon and everything in between. If you are a fan of watching the rockets launch from the Cape, you can see each and every one from here! Back inside there are two identical secondary bedrooms, each with 11' wide custom built-in closets. They flank a large bathroom with an oversize jetted bathtub and a 48” wall-mount double trough ceramic sink & vanity. The laundry/mechanical room has a ceramic wall-mount deep sink, washer, dryer, 50 gallon water heater, HVAC, maple cabinetry with an under counter beverage center and plenty of storage. All interior doors are glossy painted 8’ tall solid core; windows and doors are PGT impact resistant. Floors are expertly tiled inside and out with an array of patterned multi-colored ceramic tile. The custom spiral staircase to the observation deck has slip resistant diamond plate treads; all exterior 'wood' decking is premium composite decking; exterior trim is painted using a combination of composite & PVC to minimize maintenance. Solidly built using architectural ground/smooth face block, it gets a fresh coat of sealer every 15 years. The 2-car garage and workshop has lots of room for bikes, beach toys and hobby space. Walk the 75' boardwalk through the maritime hammock, dominated by saw palmetto, mangrove and salt marsh grasses as you reach the dock and the beautiful estuary. The covered dock with 60 amp dedicated service supplies power for lighting, ceiling fan and 4,500# lift. A large granite counter provides an ideal service bar for drinking and noshing as you take in amazing sunsets and the rich bird life along this waterfront sanctuary. Venture out and quietly paddle or kayak the shallow tidal waters of Mosquito Lagoon, with its stunning maze of scattered mangrove islands. Walk a couple blocks to the pristine beach; bicycle a few miles to Canaveral National Seashore~learn about barrier island ecosystems~visit historic sites! Truly a destination; a property where you and your family will find lots to do; but a place to be, to call your own, your Island Time home.
