A vacation or holiday stay at a luxury home rental, five-star hotel, or upscale spa resort has a magical way of making us feel refreshed and recharged. It gives us exactly what we need: natural scenery, refined relaxation, and profound tranquility. But what if you could turn your everyday home into a blissful, resort-like retreat?
With the right architectural design, your custom-built home can be much more than just a house; it can be a sanctuary, a place of comfort, a peaceful refuge. Sitting on a large waterfront lot just short of an acre, this striking riverfront estate in Ormond Beach, designed by award-winning architect Ben Butera is a remarkable example of how you can enjoy the perks of a destination vacation every day, right at home.
A Resort-Style Luxury Home on the Halifax River
With over 7,500 sq. ft. of living space, a striking open floor plan, grand high ceilings, beautiful walnut floors, a chef’s kitchen with a large island, a glass-enclosed wine room, a dedicated bar area, 5 bedrooms, 2 morning kitchens, walk-in closets, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, a home theatre room, a home office space, and several lounge and seating areas with fireplaces for entertaining and recreation, this Ormond Beach waterfront house was designed to be the ultimate riverfront oasis.
This custom home’s master suite is a true testament to Ben Butera’s ability to turn a simple bedroom into a resort-style sanctuary. It features an ensuite spa bathroom with double vanities, a steam shower, and a sunken tub, as well as walk-in closets, a sitting area, a morning kitchen, and a private balcony to enjoy the breathtaking riverfront views in all their splendor.
Beyond the master bedroom, every room of this modern mansion was carefully designed by renowned architect Benjamin P. Butera to maximize the view of the beautiful natural scenery. Expansive glass windows and large sliding glass walls throughout the home seamlessly blend the exterior landscape with the interior home decor, enhancing the home’s design and creating an elevated indoor-outdoor living experience.
The large covered lanai with a patio-style lounge and seating area, outdoor kitchen, and motorized retractable screen, combined with the heated saltwater pool and spa, the clean-cut landscaping, the natural marble deck, and the private boat dock with a boathouse, turn this luxury home into a private paradise retreat.
For additional comfort and accessibility, this impressive estate also features a glass home elevator as well as floating stairs with transparent railings, designed to look modern and sophisticated without obstructing the stunning river views. Accentuated by exquisite lighting, this luxury home’s statement features are brilliantly highlighted, whether it be day or night.
This single-family home exhibits a refined curb appeal, a must-have in any custom-built home that has visionary architect Ben Butera’s signature design style. With a gated-entry driveway, exquisite landscape architecture, a grand mahogany front door, and a garage that doubles as a luxury car showroom, this riverfront home is the embodiment of timeless architecture, carefully crafted to leave a lasting legacy.
