One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Recently awarded Florida's #1 Spot for Sun and Fun, welcome to world famous Daytona Beach! Situated on 2.7 acres of beauty and peace, this stunning 1953 built red brick Colonial exudes Southern charm and opulence. Inspired by the beauty of old world history, this timeless treasure is filled with modern day luxuries set among ancient grand oaks and surrounded by lush gardens, manicured greens, and 248' of premier deepwater intercostal frontage. A boater's dream - the intercoastal is your own backyard! The house sits adjacent from Halifax Harbor Marina and Halifax River Yacht Club. A short boat ride finds you on the Atlantic Ocean. The deepwater dock is within the no-wake zone and can easily be adapted to accommodate a larger yacht. Walk over Broadway Bridge to grab lunch or a coffee. See a ballgame at Jackie Robinson Memorial that gets 4th of July fireworks every time your team wins! And when you have a need for speed instead of a slow peaceful day take a short drive to see a race at the iconic Daytona International Speedway. No expense spared, no detail missed in constructing this nearly 8,000 sq ft estate with master craftsmanship and exceptional quality at the forefront of design. Notice how quiet the property is! As you enter the foyer, the marble floors, meticulous wainscoting and trim work, and the sweeping curved staircase hint at the timeless elegance found throughout. The expansive formal living room features oversized bay windows with sweeping picturesque views of the marvelous grounds and waterfront. Wide-plank wood floors and a fireplace with intricate millwork give the room a feeling of warmth and intimacy that can be enjoyed by gatherings of any size. Spacious formal dining room with arched casement windows and a crystal chandelier that will elevate any dinner party. The kitchen is designed for hosting, with a layout that offers multiple workstations including a butler's pantry with prep space, abundant solid cherry cabinetry with complimentary marble and butcher block counters and a cozy window seat overlooking the courtyard to relax and unwind. Moving through the home, an informal dining space overlooks multiple additional living and entertaining spaces including a traditional, handcrafted mahogany, marble, and brass wet bar with plenty of dedicated storage for glassware and wine. The second floor, accessible via the main staircase, service staircase, or elevator offers a private family room as well as three bedroom suites. The desirable owners suite offers endless space with majestic water views and access to a secluded lanai. Start your day with a quiet cup of coffee while you watch the rowing crew teams row by or end the day with a glass of wine taking in another Florida sunset. You will love the natural light that pours in across this enormous 1141 sq ft suite. Complete with a master ensuite that features ample closet space, his and her vanities, a roomy jetted tub and walk-in shower.

In addition, there is a modest apartment on-site that can quickly serve as office space or additional visitor quarters. A drive-through chauffeur's garage and a three-car detached garage offers space for all your hobbies. Gorgeous, slate roof purposely installed to endure the sun, heat and wind. The entire property is buildable land not marsh. Plenty of room for a pool and whatever else your heart desires on this one-of-one waterfront estate!
