636 N Riverside Drive
New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168 (MLS # NS1088821)
Description.
Historic, half-acre estate set along one of New Smyrna Beach's most treasured stretches of waterfront. Sitting high, beneath a canopy of mature trees, this elevated, landmark property offers direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and is just a short walk from downtown Canal Street. Known as "El Real Retiro", this handsome, single story home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the character that continues to make it unique. Original details include high ceilings, French doors, beautiful wood floors and generous, light-filled rooms, while recent upgrades such as hurricane-impact windows, a barrel tile roof, updated electric and plumbing, and a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms provide modern comfort and efficiency. Outside, the home features a cozy covered lanai with a stylish, tongue-and-groove ceiling overlooking the screened pool, spa and putting green, creating an incredible entertaining space. And a newer private dock (and 10,000 lb boat lift) provides direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, offering some lucky, new owner everything that comes with being a part of the NSB waterfront lifestyle. Additional improvements include a huge walk-in master closet, all new HVAC duct work and an added garage. Walk to the restaurants and shops downtown, cruise to our famous beach or hop on your boat and find yourself on the river in minutes. This historically registered property seamlessly combines the best of NSB's past and present. Come take a look today - and start your next chapter at "El Real Retiro".
