9140 S Tropical Trl, Merritt Island, FL, 32952

Location, square footage, and layout...this one has them all! Perfectly situated on nearly half an acre on prestigious Tropical Trail and offering direct access to the Indian River, this 1997 custom two-story home was meticulously maintained by its original owners and is being offered for sale for the very first time. And boasting over 4,300 square feet under air, with five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a workshop, a three-car attached garage, and a covered and screened lanai, there's plenty of room to spread out! As you pull in off Tropical Trail, you'll be greeted by the electronic gate and led in on the charming paver driveway. Once you're inside the gate, you'll notice the spacious front yard; perfect for your furry friends or little ones to run around. And for peace of mind, you'll observe that the home is equipped with storm shutters. Before heading inside the house, you'll see the oversized three-car garage that provides plenty of space for all your toys! Next, through the garage you'll access the absolutely huge workshop/hobby room; which is under air and also has additional direct access from the outside. Through the front door and now inside, you'll find yourself in the grande two-story foyer. Directly to the right is the formal living room, and through it is the formal dining room; which connects to the kitchen, but can be closed off via a pocket door. The kitchen features oak cabinets, solid-surface countertops, a breakfast bar and separate prep island, and a newer stainless-steel refrigerator and dishwasher. To the right of the kitchen is a guest bedroom and guest bathroom. Back toward the kitchen is the great room, equipped with a fireplace, built-ins, and sliders that lead out to the gigantic covered, screened, and tiled lanai. Down the other hallway toward the garage is the laundry room and an additional full bathroom. Rounding out the first level is the sprawling master suite, which boasts another set of sliders that lead out to the lanai, a separate jetted tub and walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms with tray ceilings and upgraded carpeting; and an additional bathroom with a double-bowl vanity. Additional highlights include 8' doors, 5.25" baseboards, crown molding, and cedar-lined closets. Recent updates include the tile roof, A/C, and water heater. Once again outside, the back yard offers plenty of space for a pool and spa; and across the street you have direct access to the Indian River from the dock that features a lift and covered seating area. Welcome to paradise!
