2244 S HALIFAX DRIVE, DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32118

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Newly constructed direct riverfront coastal-contemporary pool home sitting high on a bluff offering brilliant views. Owners' plans have changed and this 3 bedroom, 3 bath custom built home is available with an incredible 4773 sq. ft. including 2 car garage and beautiful verandahs. Over 3700 sq ft of air conditioned, highly efficient, living space where a great room layout is ideal for casual waterfront living and entertaining. The state of the art chef's kitchen is flooded with natural light with a gas range centered beneath two transom windows that allow southern sun to illuminate the space year round. Top of the line stainless appliances compliment quartz countertops over lovely white shaker cabinets. A custom butler's pantry subtly tucked behind a pocket door doubles as a caterer's kitchen with plenty of storage, extra refrigeration and a large farm sink. The island with sink and prep station floats into the living and dining spaces of the great room beneath volume ceilings. Here, a sliding accordion door with 3 large glass panels disappears into the north wall as the interior and exterior spaces become one. A spacious poolside covered verandah flows directly onto the sprawling elevated patio that surrounds the sparkling blue infinity edge heated saltwater pool with spa. A lower tier sunning deck sits just below the pool. While the square footage could easily accommodate a higher bedroom count, the owners designed this home to have two very spacious waterfront suites, one up and one down. The upstairs suite features a private balcony overlooking The Halifax River, a coffee bar, a separate sitting area or office, cavernous walk-in closet and luxury bath. The downstairs suite also has a stunning luxurious bath, but with an oversized soaking tub, spacious shower and an absolutely massive closet/dressing area with custom built-ins. A third bedroom sits in a quiet downstairs area of the home with a full bath. A large indoor utility room features a dog wash station, plenty of storage and an access door that leads out to the pool and waterfront. This is a unique opportunity for a new home, directly on the river with unbelievable views. This quiet, low traffic lane is tucked in off of the busier thoroughfare (S Peninsula Drive) creating a unique waterfront neighborhood where just 13 homes line the towering bluff that runs parallel to the shoreline below. The Atlantic Ocean and charming community of Daytona Beach Shores lie just three blocks east. Walk, ride a bicycle, or take your golf cart down to enjoy the beach or local shopping and restaurants. Boaters love this location for quick proximity to Ponce Inlet to the south and the quaint dockside restaurants and bars to the north.
