Unit 616 at The Preserve at Rivers Edge is the kind of renovation that makes you realize you've been settling. Every room has been touched. Every upgrade was chosen with intention. This is a home that was lived in, loved, and carefully improved -- and the result is a 630-square-foot one-bedroom condo that lives like a primary suite. THE FLOORS New wide-plank luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through every single room in a multi-tone coastal driftwood palette -- dark charcoal, warm brown, and weathered light tones mixed together in wide planks that read like beautifully aged reclaimed wood. Completely waterproof, scratch-resistant, low-maintenance, and visually rich. The flooring flows seamlessly from the living area through the bedroom, into the bathroom, and directly into the walk-in closet, giving the entire unit a cohesive, intentional feel. THE BATHROOM -- THE SHOWPIECE If you're going to do a renovation right, this is what it looks like. The walk-in shower is the centerpiece, and it was built to outlast trends and outperform expectations. Large-format marble-look porcelain tile covers every wall from floor to ceiling in a warm cream and soft gray veined pattern -- elegant, timeless, and consistently striking. The floor of the shower is river rock pebble mosaic: natural stone in a warm cream and sand palette that connects the space to the coastal setting just outside. A full-length horizontal niche shelf runs across the back wall, built into the tile and framed above by a coordinating pebble mosaic accent band -- this is the detail that tells you a designer was involved, not just a contractor. A separate square recessed niche is built into the right side wall, providing additional in-shower storage. A corner bench -- tiled to match the walls -- gives you a seat and makes the shower feel like a destination. Recessed lighting is embedded in the ceiling inside the glass enclosure, so the shower is beautifully lit from above. The showerhead system includes both a ceiling-mounted rain showerhead and a handheld unit on an adjustable slide bar -- use one, use both, your choice. The frameless glass door with brushed nickel hardware keeps the entire space visually open and consistently upscale. Step out of the shower and the finish level continues. The smart bidet toilet features an illuminated bowl with a blue UV nightlight and electronic cleansing and comfort functions. The vanity is a clean white cabinet topped with an elegant stone-look quartz countertop -- white with subtle gray veining -- finished with a classic brushed nickel bridge-style faucet that adds a timeless, tailored note. A decorative geometric-framed mirror ties the aesthetic together. A brushed nickel grab bar is mounted on the right wall, providing accessibility without disrupting the spa feel of the space. THE WALK-IN CLOSET This is a full custom built-in organization system. Floor-to-ceiling adjustable shelving lines both walls from entry to back wall. Double hanging rods handle garments of all lengths. A built-in drawer unit eliminates the need for a separate dresser. Wire storage baskets add flexible utility. A wood hook rail at the top center handles daily-access items. The luxury vinyl flooring runs directly into the closet, keeping the space unified. This is what a one-bedroom closet should look like -- and almost never does. THE KITCHEN Granite countertops anchor the kitchen with real stone. A deep 50/50 undermount sink with an upgraded faucet makes prep practical and clean. The full LG appliance suite is brand new and stainless: French door refrigerator, LG ThinQ smooth-top range and oven, over-range microwave, and dishwasher. Everything is current and ready from day one. LAUNDRY -- IN-UNIT Full-size LG washer and LG dryer are in a dedicated in-unit laundry closet. This is not a shared laundry room -- it's inside your home, available on your schedule. THE MECHANICALS -- CLEAN AND DOCUMENTED The Rheem Classic series tankless water heater delivers hot water on demand with no storage tank to maintain. The HVAC system was manufactured in April 2019 by Carrier/CAC and installed with a Daytona Beach city building permit dated 5/30/2019 -- documented and on file. These are not estimates or verbal representations. THE BALCONY The covered balcony has a wood-plank ceiling overhead, a ceiling fan for constant airflow, a roll-down sunshade for afternoon privacy, and a private storage closet for beach gear and seasonal items. The view from up here is a canopy of mature Florida palms and native hardwoods -- the private, wooded backdrop that gives this community its character and its name. THE COMMUNITY -- THE PRESERVE AT RIVERS EDGE The Preserve at Rivers Edge is a gated community set along the Halifax River in Daytona Beach, wrapped in protected native vegetation that gives the property its wooded character and natural privacy. The HOA of $495.37/month covers cable, internet, water, sewer, and trash disposal -- meaning your core utility and connectivity costs are bundled directly into your monthly fee. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, hot tub, clubhouse with fitness center, and a convenient on-site car wash area. Two pets are welcome per unit with no size limit (breed restrictions apply). 6 months minimum rental period keeps the community stable and residential in character while still offering long-term investment flexibility. This is a lock-and-leave lifestyle -- whether you're here full time, part of the year, or building a long-term rental portfolio. ACCESS NOTE This is a second-floor unit. Access is by stairs only -- there is no elevator on the property. Unit is currently vacant and ready to show. HOA $495.37/MONTH | 630 SQ FT
