787 OCEAN SHORE BLVD Ormond Beach, FL 32176

Oceanfront home like no other offering here on Ormond’s most coveted stretch of beach. A completely private experience tucked off the road, behind the dune line and surrounded by the natural coastal landscape. This house was constructed of solid block by a successful architect as his family’s personal beach home in 1953. It has since remained with the family for nearly 70 years and has been through a series of thoughtful renovations and additions without compromising the effectiveness of the original home. The charming home features four bedrooms and 3 baths situated around a grand oceanfront living room with a fireplace, vaulted ceilings and wonderful window space that brings the Atlantic‘s horizon into full focus from nearly every angle. The architect planted the home on a high ridge of dune line and angled the structure for optimal views with a footprint that allowed for a comfortable and private lanai that subtly sits among the sea oats and dunes that cover the tremendous seawall hidden beneath the sandy bluff. Adjoining the living room is a sizable dining room adjacent to the efficient pullman’s kitchen with butler’s pantry. The center piece of the home is a unique courtyard/verandah that serves as a second dining area with an ancient bougainvillea vine hovering above the old-world brick floor. The generous master suite rightfully occupies the most easterly portion of the home affording beautiful views and plenty of privacy.
