Description

Completely remodeled oceanfront townhome-style retreat in the heart of Melbourne Beach, offering sweeping Atlantic views and an exceptional coastal setting. Located within one of the few true oceanfront communities along the Space Coast that allows short-term rentals, this property presents a compelling opportunity for both refined personal use and income potential. Renovated in 2024 with a new kitchen featuring soft-close KraftMaid cabinetry, expansive pantry, stainless steel appliances, new flooring, updated bathrooms, lighting, fans, and window treatments throughout. Major upgrades include a new HVAC system (2023), updated electrical panel, wiring for a whole-house generator, and electric vehicle charging capability. The first-floor bedroom and bath open directly to the beach, while the primary suite offers dual closets and a beautifully updated bath. Community features newer tile roofs and rebuilt beach crossovers. A rare blend of oceanfront lifestyle and turnkey condition.

Supplements: This completely remodeled oceanfront townhome-style residence delivers a rare combination of luxury coastal living, strong investment potential, and one of the most difficult-to-find assets on Florida's Space Coast: true oceanfront ownership with short-term rental eligibility. Positioned directly on the Atlantic in the heart of Melbourne Beach, this property offers sweeping, unobstructed ocean views from nearly every room and direct beach access just steps from the door. Unlike most oceanfront communities, this enclave allows short-term rentals, making it uniquely suited for owners who want both a personal coastal retreat and a high-performing income-producing asset. It's not just a second home  it's a lifestyle property that works for you financially. The entire residence was thoughtfully renovated in 2024 with quality finishes and functional upgrades throughout. The redesigned kitchen features soft-close KraftMaid cabinetry, an expansive pantry, and new stainless steel appliances, creating a clean, modern space that balances style with practicality. New flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by renovated bathrooms, updated lighting and ceiling fans, and new window treatments that enhance both comfort and design. System upgrades add long-term value and peace of mind, including a brand-new HVAC system installed in July 2023 (inside and out), an updated electrical panel, wiring for a whole-house generator, and electric vehicle charging capability. These improvements reflect not just cosmetic renovation, but meaningful infrastructure investment  the kind that matters for long-term ownership and rental performance. The floor plan is ideally designed for both private living and guest flexibility. A first-floor bedroom and updated full bath open directly to the beach via sliding glass doors, creating a rare and highly desirable layout for oceanfront living and rental appeal. Upstairs, the primary suite offers his-and-her closets and a beautifully updated en-suite bath, providing a private retreat with the sound of the ocean as your backdrop. The community itself is equally well maintained, with new tile roofs installed in 2015 and both beach crossovers rebuilt in 2022 using durable composite materials. Pet-friendly policies allow two dogs with no weight restrictions  another rare feature in oceanfront communities. Beyond the property, Melbourne Beach offers a lifestyle that blends natural beauty, privacy, and authentic coastal charm. Known for its quiet streets, uncrowded beaches, and protected shoreline, this area sits along one of the most ecologically significant stretches of coastline in Florida. Residents enjoy proximity to sea turtle nesting beaches, the Indian River Lagoon, world-class fishing, boating, and paddleboarding, as well as nearby Sebastian Inlet for surfing and waterfront recreation. The surrounding Space Coast region adds another layer of lifestyle appeal, offering everything from waterfront dining and boutique shopping to marinas, nature preserves, and cultural venues  all without the congestion and chaos of larger coastal markets. It's a rare blend of tranquility, accessibility, and long-term desirability. This property is not just oceanfront real estate  it's a strategic coastal asset. A fully renovated, turnkey residence. A legally permitted short-term rental. A true walk-out-to-the-beach layout. A strong income-producing opportunity. And a lifestyle investment in one of Florida's most authentic and protected beach communities. Very few properties combine oceanfront positioning, rental flexibility, modern renovation, and long-term market strength. This one does  and that's what makes it exceptional.
