Riverside Condo Has Views for Local Vets

Serving in the armed forces is an impressive and highly regarded profession — especially in this region. As military veterans retire and remain in the area, this highly accessible Porto Vecchio complex with river views is an option — listed near the $417,000 limit for a Veterans Administration Home Loan guaranteed in the G.I. Bill.

This 135-unit complex was designed to take full advantage of its riverfront location. The elegant lobby faces a lounge with walls of windows providing an expansive view of the gardens and the river beyond. The fourth-floor unit listed also provides impressive views from the dining and living areas, which are open to each other.

The living room’s full-length windows include sliding glass doors opening onto the terrace for an even better view. They also face built-in bookshelves. These public areas are enhanced and unified by crown molding above parquet wood floors. The dining room is also open to the full eat-in kitchen behind it.

On the other side of the living room, the bedroom also overlooks the river and features hardwood floors and walk-in closets. The luxury bathroom includes a Whirlpool tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower, a wall of mirrors and lights framing the vanity counter and sink.

During the warmer seasons, residents and their guests can also enjoy a swimming pool and sundeck overlooking the river, a kayak dock with storage area, a river barge with picnic tables, a bicycle/jogging trail and a lighted tennis court. At any time of year, they can take advantage of the informal party room with its large-screen TV, an exercise area with a sauna and 24-hour desk service.
