Down the hall from the laundry room is the completely redesigned stair tower to the second floor. The storage room underneath houses the Control4 smart home system which controls security, lighting, video, and audio throughout the home.
The first floor master suite features stunning river views, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath retreat.
The master bath features dual vanities, granite countertops, an impressive walk-in shower with shower head, hand sprayer, and rain shower, and a glass tile adorned jetted tub for a truly luxurious spa experience.
The office/den off the master suite offers abundant natural light. A half bath across the hall features a hammered pewter sink and a door out to the pool deck.

Beautifully renovated riverfront home between the bridges BY STEPHANIE LABAFF Staff Writer
The kitchen is the heart of every home; and when builder Joe Foglia and architect Hal Lambert teamed up to create a renewed vision for the riverfront property at 665 Lake Drive in Riomar Bay II, the kitchen set the tone for the entire house. “Hal Lambert did a great job capi-
talizing on the view with the intent of the design. Clearly, the kitchen is the signature piece,” says Foglia. “When you walk inside, once you get your attention focused away from the river it’s the kitchen area that draws everyone.” The project was a major renovation with structural changes, a significant addition and updated design. The challenge for Lambert was to create
a plan that would upgrade the house without changing its character. “We wanted to keep the front the same and at the same time expand the living space while taking advantage of the site and the river view from the back,” recalls Lambert “We were adding to the footprint of the house and needed to make it all blend.” In a nod to the British West Indiesstyle architecture, Lambert eliminated the modern butt-glass glazing across the back of the house and replaced it with 10-foot, Windoor, impact slidingglass doors giving access to the patio while creating an unobstructed view of the Intracoastal Waterway. “We were trying to get as much glass as we could facing the water,” explains Foglia. The formal living room gives way
to breathtaking views of the Intracoastal Waterway through stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. The circular room with double tray ceilings hints at the understated elegance that echoes throughout the house. Extensive millwork and special details including automatic sunshades, limestone flooring and integrated, slotted HVAC built into the moldings add the finishing touches. A den, pool bath and the master suite are located in the northern portion of the house, creating a private domain for the homeowners. The spacious master suite enjoys views of the river while his and her cedarlined walk-in closets, a jetted tub, walk-in rain shower, dual sinks and a water closet finish the space. The gourmet kitchen is one of

the most substantial and elaborate kitchens in the county, according to Foglia. The functional masterpiece by Kitchens By Design of Vero Beach
takes advantage of the views in the open-space floorplan. More than just a kitchen, the area provides space for eating and a family room with a fire-
place before spilling out into the outdoor living space. Three islands form a buffer and create a natural flow for those com-
ing and going. Design and functionality were key factors, according to designer Rick Montgomery. “It was a fun kitchen to do. We had to get the

Just off the kitchen a Subzero wine cooler, powder room, laundry area and formal dining room are easily accessible for entertaining. Guests and overnight visitors are housed in this wing, affording plenty of privacy for everyone.

REAL ESTATE The house includes a Control4 Home Automation system. Foglia says, “It’s state of the art. Everything can be done on the pad: the A/C, sound system, media, lighting, security and pool functions. It basically controls the whole house.” The pie-shaped lot widens at the rear of the property. Paired with lush vegetation, the fenced backyard provides a level of privacy for outdoor activities where the lawn meets the river along the cap rock seawall. The mangroves tie the shoreline together, and the rocks create a small estuary. “This is inarguably the most dis-
suite baths and pool access are located on the main floor. Two additional bedrooms and a shared sitting room can be reached via the stair tower which links both sections of the home to the three-car garage. Taking advantage of the beautiful view along the river, the loggia adds outdoor living and dining space. The infinity-edge, salt-system pool is a striking feature surrounded by French-pattern, tumbled-ivory travertine. Fire bowls with water features
add a dramatic touch to the already stunning view. The outdoor eating and gathering space includes a gas fireplace, outdoor bathroom and summer kitchen designed to be wholly self-sufficient, so there’s really no need to run back inside. Teak cabinets house a Bosch dishwasher, galley sink, ice maker and refrigerator drawers. A 2,000-gallon propane tank provides fuel for the pool, both fireplaces, the range, grill and whole house generator.
