ORMOND BEACH, FL 32176 1596 JOHN ANDERSON DRIVE

Lovely direct riverfront pool home on a sprawling, oak covered parcel of land with a John Anderson Address. Not expected to last, this 4300 sq ft concrete block 3 bed, 3 bath home is being offered for the first time since 1979 after a long stewardship by a prideful owner who renovated, improved and added onto the house without disturbing the charm of the original 1953 home. Beyond the three oversized bedrooms, the home features a family room, dining room, living room with fireplace, dedicated home office, sun room, and a large indoor utility room. A central island kitchen opens onto the grand riverfront great room where handsome tongue-n-groove ceilings hover above classic mid-century transom windows placed just above a wall of glass doors that allows for panoramas of the passing boats, sparkling blue pool and a fabulous grand oak tree that shades the riverside verandah. Step into the gracious waterfront owners' suite to find a series of sliding glass doors that create yet another glass wall bringing the sights of the Halifax River indoors. Two walk-in closets and a generous bath with river view soaking tub. A second waterfront suite with private bath features a private sitting area or office and the third bedroom also has it's own additional den or office. The two car garage is double deep on the north end and could accommodate 3 cars parked tandem. Vertical seawall plus a coquina rock revetment and a beautiful dock with boat lift under a 2nd story observation deck that overlooks the serene Tomoka Basin in the distance. A fabulous opportunity for a well cared for home on a large, private parcel directly on the Intracoastal Waterway and just a short walk to the beach. Priced to sell.
