Constructed in 1955 for wealthy philanthropist Captain Edwin and Hester Merwin Ayers, this two-story home was originally designed throughout as a ship from their time spent on the open sea. Built to very high standards, its superior design and construction has weathered the past 60 years. A complete interior remodel of the home was completed in 2010 bringing all plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems up to code creating a modern 2 bedroom, 2 bath (and 2 half-bath) home. Ensuring privacy and comfort for all occupants, the home's layout offers two appointed owner's suites with large walk-in closets, ensuite baths, and private balconies for relaxation. The building site even today provides this home with views to the horizon of the intracoastal in a panoramic display unmatched by all but a handful of the one hundred or more homesites between the north bridge and the inlet. Its 90 feet of seawall is one of the deepest spots along the north intracoastal due to the channel pressing eastward from the nearby island and sandbar which offer up ever-changing views throughout the tide cycle directly before your eyes. This is not just any intracoastal lot due to its height and exceptional location and boat access capabilities. This coveted spot on North Beach is just moments away from all the amenities with a short walk to the beach and close proximity to Smyrna Dunes Park, the dog beach, and Flagler Avenue where you'll find nightlife, restaurants, and shopping.
