208 The Road to Waterford Bay is one of just five homes behind a gate on the Indian River in Melbourne Beach, and owners have a private beach crossover across A1A. Mornings can start with a walk on the sand, and evenings end with the sunset over the river. Inside, the first floor opens up under tall tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, with a coral stone wood-burning fireplace at the center of the living room. A wall of sliders leads to a covered lanai and a wide lawn that runs down to the water. The dining room and open kitchen share that same view, and a walled courtyard off the kitchen gives you a second outdoor room for morning coffee or a private dinner. With 2,856 SQ FT, 3 bedrooms, a den, office and 3.5 baths, there is room to spread out. The kitchen is set up for hosting, with a large island and cooktop, double wall ovens and plenty of cabinet space. An eat-in nook sits just off it, and the whole space flows into the dining and living areas, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Upstairs, a loft office with built-in cabinetry overlooks the living room below. The primary suite has a vaulted ceiling, French doors and its own balcony facing the river, a good spot to watch the sunset. Dual primary baths has a tub under a skylight, a separate shower, generous vanity space and two closets. Downstairs, the third bedroom has its own private bath, so overnight guests get a floor of their own. The A/C system was installed in 2018, with a new air handler in 2021. The association takes care of insurance, the grounds, the roof and exterior, and security, and owners share a community pool with a covered cabana and tennis courts. At this price there is room for the next owner to make it their own in a setting that would be hard to find again.
