510 John Anderson Drive

An iconic John Anderson landmark offered for the 1st time in decades with over 7000 sq ft of luxury space situated on nearly 1 acre of land with a rare 145' of shoreline offering unmatched privacy in the terribly desirable 500 block of John Anderson Drive. As you approach the gates subtlety tucked behind lush tropical landscape, the timeless architecture of the home comes into frame where grand arches hover high above a sprawling terrace that welcomes you home. Enter the home to be immediately greeted by sweeping views of the intracoastal from the main living room where cathedral ceilings soar high above the tremendous window spaces that beckon the soft morning sun. Gleaming oak floors lead to a lovely fireplace and a custom built in saltwater aquarium creates a wall of water where tropical fish and coral separate the living room from the waterfront great room where another fireplace and entertainment center are opposite the fabulous chef's kitchen. Commercial grade appliances set in custom cabinetry with double islands and multiple dining, serving and entertaining spaces. A dedicated formal dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen and several casual waterfront dining options are incorporated indoors and out. Step outside to the fabulous poolside covered verandah that serves as an outdoor living room for the owners or take a few more steps to the custom tiki to entertain and relax beneath handsome handcrafted wood ceilings. Step out to the dock where two oversized boat houses are positioned before a true deepwater slip that was home to a 53' Hatteras for many years. Back inside the home was designed with 5 bedrooms and two bonus rooms, however both bonus rooms are technically bedrooms, so the room count is officially 7 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. While all bedrooms with the exception of one are situated directly on the river, one of the most impressive features of the estate is the owners' quarters which occupies an entire wing and offers an incredibly gracious bedroom with panoramic views, private deck with access to pool and dock, luxury bath with water views and two very large wardrobes. Four additional waterfront bedrooms are suites with private access to the waterfront balcony. A downstairs riverfront suite is oversized with a private entrance and would make an ideal in-law or private guest suite. The property is offered in excellent condition having been maintained to high standards. Some notable features include , 4 car garage, 60 KW generator w/1000 gal propane, custom storm shutters and an underground survival bunker. Located just 1 mile north of the Granada Bridge and three blocks from the beach on one of just a handful of estate sized parcels that enjoy this grandeur.
