Seaside estate celebrates Ponte Vedra Beach living

Posted

In the seaside community of Ponte Vedra Beach, on Florida’s First Coast, lies an exquisite estate set in high dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Ponte Vedra Beach is home to many splendid homes but none that more embody the spirit of the coast than 2375 Ponte Vedra Blvd., set on a high knoll beyond an elegant gate.

Perfectly positioned along the banks of the Atlantic Ocean in the first block of South Ponte Vedra Boulevard, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home offers a beautiful contemporary oceanfront setting with Intracoastal views that could grace the cover of Coastal Living magazine.

This private residence with well-appointed living spaces, features two sweeping oceanfront porches, a private beach walkover and a 21-by-21-foot rooftop deck with panoramic water and preserve views perfect for outdoor entertaining. This elevated and dominant position allows for extraordinary ocean views, in a spectacular setting, in a historic seaside resort epitomizing the Florida lifestyle!

Lush grounds include a putting green and a large turf lawn that offer plenty of room to hit some golf balls or enjoy a game of catch.

As you step inside, the first floor offers a media/game room perfect for play time or gathering to watch a favorite movie with friends and family and an office/guest bedroom.

The main living area with an open floor plan is on the second floor and has been completely renovated and includes a living, dining and kitchen that flow together with form and function.

With ceilings of more than 20 feet in the main living room, walls of windows bring natural light and stunning ocean views to be enjoyed inside or out. Two sets of sliding glass doors open to the wrap-around oceanfront balcony perfect for dining al fresco, lounging around or soaking in the sun.

A newly designed white chefs’ kitchen is complete with beautiful quartz counters, two sinks, GE Monogram stainless appliances and a Bosch dishwasher and a butler’s pantry/ laundry room. A powder room located off the kitchen is also accessible from the side deck for the sun seekers. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level with a guest bedroom with a sliding glass door that opens to the oceanfront balcony and the other bedroom with scenic views across the Guana Preserve to the Intracoastal.

The third floor overlooks the main living room below with an in-suite guest room to the right and the master to the left. The guest room features a bay window with seating space, perfect for enjoying a good book and watching the sun set across the Intracoastal. The spacious master suite opens to a private oceanfront balcony and the suite includes a spa-like master bath with Intracoastal views.

From the private balcony take a set of stairs up to the rooftop deck where you can experience uninterrupted water views from sunrise to sunset and everything in between.

This beautifully designed home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of all that North Florida and its coastal communities have to offer for family vacationers; it will accommodate gatherings of all sizes.

About 34,000 residents call Ponte Vedra Beach home and thousands more come from around the world to play on its beautiful uncrowded beaches and enjoy world-renowned golf courses and tennis facilities each year. Visitors are often astounded to hear tales of Ponce De Leon landing on its shores as well as German saboteurs during World War ll.

Its past is intriguing, and its present is exciting. Walk the beach, watch waves roll in from foreign shores, and put a shell to your ear to hear whispers from the past. Then breathe deeply of the ocean breeze, and you will catch a hint of Ponte Vedra Beach living, which we all agree is simply the best!
