About this home

For the first time ever, this custom-built, one level modern coastal home in the desirable Bethune Beach community of New Smyrna Beach is available—just two short blocks (300 steps) to the private beach walkover on Drum and directly across from the Intracoastal Waterway, sitting proudly on a high-elevation lot. Live the dream in this natural paradise while you listen to the waves crash, bask in the sun, and watch the sea turtles nest and hatch - with famous Flagler Avenue and downtown historic Canal Street just minutes away, where you can enjoy shopping, dining and entertainment. Designed by its owners, a naval architect/engineer and an artist, in collaboration with local architect Ian Ratliff, this 2016 masterpiece embodies harmony between modern architecture and the surrounding natural landscape. Built to Miami-Dade hurricane standards, the all-block residence features a heavy-duty aluminum roof, hurricane-rated windows and doors, and an elevated, maintenance-free design. The 3BR/2BA interior showcases Brazilian Rosewood floors, 8’ solid oak doors, stainless steel hardware, soaring ceilings, custom hickory cabinetry, quartz counters, marble and ceramic tile baths, clerestory windows, and custom wood blinds, lighting and drapes. The spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area features LED lighting, a tongue-and-groove ceiling, quartz counters, GE profile appliances, induction cooktop, under-cabinet lighting, and dual sliders opening to a covered lanai for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite includes direct access to the backyard hot tub and shower, a custom walk-in closet, and a luxurious marble bath with a floating vanity, quartz counters, and Kohler fixtures. Guest bedrooms offer private access to the enclosed outdoor shower, sauna, or garden, one room featuring a Murphy bed, hidden in a large closet, which can double as an office or art space. The oversized garage accommodates up to 3 vehicles with a lift (available), epoxy flooring, 200-amp service, custom steel cabinetry, a work sink, and a dual-fuel generator with a propane hookup. Off the garage, double doors open to a workbench work area with a retractable lit awning. Outdoor living shines with multiple decks and paver areas, a covered lanai with built-in grill and granite counter, Trex decking, gas firepit with custom seating, programmable lighting and irrigation, and a heavy-duty pressure treated fencing with aluminum powder coated posts. This professionally landscaped yard was chosen for the 2025 Garden Club Tour. The home also includes a new 2-stage RUUD AC with advanced filtration, SimpliSafe and Ring security systems, and drawings by Ian Ratliff for a potential second-story expansion. A rare, impeccably crafted, turn-key home that reflects thoughtful design, artistry, and engineering—perfectly blending modern comfort with the relaxed beauty of coastal living.
