Built in 2007, this week’s GoToby.com featured House of the Week is a “one of a kind.” It’s packed with features you can use. When the square footage of a home is stated by real estate professionals, they typically refer to the square footage “under air” (heated and cooled). That doesn’t work with this house. It has 5,240 square feet of living area “under air,” plus a 1,200 square foot garage, also “under air.”

Not Your Normal Garage

The garage has its own HVAC unit, an epoxy floor and is tied into the home’s central vacuum system. The garage is double depth to accommodate four vehicles. It’s equipped with a two-ton A-frame lift, wall-mounted storage cabinets, a work bench, bench grinder and vise. The stained wood garage doors are insulated.

Main Kitchen

Mother-in-law kitchen

Besides the garage, the first floor has an exercise room, a utility room and a one-bedroom mother-in-law apartment with a separate entrance. The second and third floors combine to provide three master bedroom suites and lots of room for living and entertaining.

The home is in the Seaside Manor subdivision which has a deeded walkover to the sandy Atlantic Ocean beach just yards away across scenic State Route A1A.

Uniquely, the approximately 240 feet of Intracoastal Waterway frontage has both State and Federal permits for a 125 foot large yacht basin with no SSL lease fees or easement requirements, providing direct access to the ICW’s 12 foot deep channel.

Although this home has an open and airy look and feel, it is built with energy conservation in mind. All windows and doors are thermo pane and the home is well insulated. Average monthly utility bills are astonishingly low; $160 electric and $25 gas.

Location

Beverly Beach is located on scenic A1A only a few miles north of iconic Flagler Beach with its famous pier, restaurants and shops. Further south is Daytona Beach. Historic St. Augustine and Marineland are short drives north. Nearby Interstate 95 provides easy access to Orlando and Jacksonville.

The area, sometimes referred to as “the quiet side of Florida, features miles of beaches with abundant public access, miles of hiking trails, championship golf courses and top-rated schools.
