Residential

Welcome to ''The Sanctuary'', a magnificent riverfront home in Charleston Oaks, a one of a kind small gated community of 9 homes ...an ocean access paradise. This home deserves an ovation for the way it compliments and takes advantage of a gentle slope to the water of this 1.3 acre homesite. The architect designed what appears to be a one-story home from the front but is actually a three story home with towering views of the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and beautiful nature preserves. The home is situated on a private lagoon with a semiprivate dock leading to the North Fork of the St Lucie River. (see more details under supplement). Be sure to see aerial video of the property under photos tab. This plantation style home features a green metal roof, stately columns, 47 foot veranda with white rails and trim. The front half of the second floor is open, so you can see up into the cupula, when you first step inside. Spacious open kitchen. Just off the large master bedroom suite is a sitting room and balcony to enjoy the morning sunrises over the river. The 2nd bedroom features a cozy study loft. Every bedroom has its own private bathroom. Almost all rooms have great views. Other amenities include full house generator, 2 fireplaces, high ceilings throughout, large storage area above the garage with stairway access and much more. The landscaping of this home is incredible with a natural hammock environment in the front with numerous oaks, pines, and palm. The backyard has manicured lawns, hedges, and flowering trees including a magnificent Royal Poinciana Tree overlooking the river. Separate well for sprinkler system. Charleston Oaks features a 2,000 foot walkway along the river and through the tropical hammocks that include common dockage for Charleston Oaks and a Chickee thatched roof picnic pavilion on the river. The abundance of wildlife (sandhill cranes, manatees, bobcats and more) never ceases to amaze the owners. Not a requirement of sale, but seller would like to rent back the home till January/February 2023. See POA Covenants /Restrictions and Bylaws of Charleston Oaks in Documents tab.
