Built to the exacting specifications of its owners, Ilene and Paul Nebrasky, the beautiful home at 5082 Monroe Circle in the stellar Waterway Village neighborhood is truly one-of-a-kind, with each and every aspect given thoughtful consideration down to the last detail.
The result is a wonderful residence built for comfort, convenience, privacy and unmatched visual appeal, starting with the multi-gabled front façade that features a recessed entry porch and handsome bay window wing.
From the driveway, beneath a trio of tall palms, well-balanced tropical landscaping curves around the bay window wing.
Inside, sand-pale porcelain tile flooring flows throughout the home, while neutral walls, lofty ceilings, and recessed lighting enhance the airy ambiance.
The central heart of the home is a wide expanse containing open kitchen, dining area, and living/family room gathering area, with plenty of square footage for all sorts of furniture configurations.
The highlight here is the “cornerless” glass slider wall opening to the covered porch and screened pool. The sliders retract into the side walls so that, when open, there is no vertical frame at the corner, opening an unobstructed flow from inside to outside, onto the covered patio and screened pool area.
Here, Ilene Nebrasky has created a full service summer kitchen, with fridge, ice maker, storage space, a special gas burner and granite top snack bar.
Overall, this fully lighted outdoor haven is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing or reading, enjoying the beauty of your surroundings.
With plenty of white cabinetry and elegant white quartz-top counters and island, the stylish kitchen is well illuminated, boasting recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting and a trio of beautiful, glass teardrop-shaded pendants above the wide island, which also features drawer and cabinet storage, dishwasher, sink, electric outlets and a long snack bar. Also in the kitchen, find gleaming stainless-steel appliances and range hood, and a long, subway-tiled splash.
Another major feature of the kitchen is the handy floor-to-ceiling corner pantry, which Ilene Nebrasky has so masterfully organized, you simply have to see it for yourself. It’s nothing short of inspiring!
Just off the kitchen, beneath a wide window to the woodsy backyard and pool, is the dining area, receiving abundant natural light by day, and pleasantly lit by a delicate, multi-bulb chandelier after dark.
Of the many features that make this home special, Ilene Nebrasky notes the three bedrooms arranged in a three-way “split plan” – each with its own full bath and floor-to-ceiling linen closet, and each pleasantly separate from the other two.
In the home’s northwest corner, beneath a lofty tray ceiling, with recessed lighting and a handsome five-blade fan, the owner’s suite beckons, sporting a wide plantation shuttered window with a relaxing view of patio, pool deck, and private, peaceful backyard.
The owner’s bathroom offers a long two-basin vanity with quartz countertops and long well-lighted mirror. There is a glass corner shower, garden tub, private w/c, a separate dressing table, and a door opening into a large, luxurious walk-in closet. The closet is fitted out with ceiling-to-floor drawers, open shelves and hanging units, including plenty of shelf space for your shoe boxes. There is also a special space in this vast closet where Ilene Nebrasky has placed (and uses) her Peloton. Brilliant.
Nebrasky has also transformed one of the home’s many closets into a mini office.
Just off the foyer, the second bedroom sits within the front bay and offers lovely front yard and neighborhood views, a sleek three-blade “airplane” fan/light, and a full bath with glass front shower.
The third bedroom also has a fan/light and plantation-shuttered window, as well as a full bath with glass slider tub/shower.
The den is a flexible space with ceiling fan, recessed lighting and plenty of room for a wide range of uses.
As great as the house itself is, Ilene Nebrasky says what she’ll miss just as much is the vibe of the neighborhood itself. “It’s so nice, so friendly. On this block, they’re the best neighbors ever!”
Waterway Village, an epic development by DiVosta/Pulte Homes, is renowned for well-built luxury homes set in a beautifully landscaped, master-planned community close to everything Vero Beach has to offer, on the mainland and in the famous island village.
