Embark on the transformation of this magnificent Tortoise Island estate! This 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom gem has undergone a complete rejuvenation. Expertly designed by a professional engineer in steel fabrication and bridge building, the home stands as a testament to structural stability and strength. The construction features center-cut redwood and massive steel beams, all clad in cedar, creating a blend of vigor and elegance that define its architectural charm. This home was built with the foundation and structure designed for maximum resilience and stability. Upon entering through the foyer, you will find a glass enclosed bridge suspended over the koi pond which feeds the streams that run on either side of the home. At the heart of the entrance stands a majestic wood-burning fireplace, separating your entrance from the formal entertainment area. In the primary living space, you're embraced by the warmth of two fireplaces, large stone columns, and beautiful wood, creating an inviting atmosphere. The cozy sunken space, adorned with Berber carpet next to the gas fireplace, offers a tranquil retreat. The journey continues with another sunken TV area, offering a private space during larger gatherings. Family and friend events are elevated by the addition of a formal bar and catering area, seamlessly blending convenience with luxury. The property, boasting 190 front feet on the Banana River in the private community of Tortoise Island is divided into two lots to minimize taxes. One lot is .6 of an acre with the other unimproved lot at .3 of an acre, totaling just under a full acre and making this one of the largest parcels on the island! As an exceptional feature, discover one of the largest laundry rooms ever seen, doubling as a catering prep area. Featuring a spacious counter and a fully equipped fridge/freezer, this multifunctional space enhances both practicality and efficiency. Venture to the second floor, exclusively dedicated to the primary suite, featuring private dressing rooms that allow for a peaceful start to the day without disturbing the better half. The primary Jacuzzi bath, built for two, with a shower to match, showcases eastern-inspired stained glass, black stone, and gold accents, continuing the zen feeling throughout the home. Guest suites are thoughtfully separated from the main living area, accessible via another elevated bridge over one of the creeks that meander through the home. Windows and doors everywhere allow the soothing sounds of water to follow you. Enjoy Banana River views from the sparkling pool and the natural beauty and protection of the mangrove and coquina rock seawall, a softened edge of nature to protect your waterline. With a circular drive, porte cochere, and a 3-car garage, this home radiates sophistication. Situated just over 1.25 miles from the ocean and near Patrick Space Force Station, the property offers easy access to the beach and a prime location for space enthusiasts. Community amenities include a day dock, boat launch, clubhouse, pool, gym, basketball, playground, and tennis. Once a property in need of significant attention in 2022 deferred maintenance has now been completed and this property shines in a 24-hour guard-gated private island community in Satellite Beach!
