1809 North Indian River Road (South of Surf Street)
Built at 986 square feet, now over
2000, this 1951 home embodies Florida
living: inside & out, around the
exceptional pool & on the rooftop for
sunset river views. Long a local surfers’
hangout, several recent owners carried
on that lore through choices in improvements & decor. Recently tweaked to provide year round & vacationing family members both privacy & interactive spaces, the Blue Wave Surf Shack exudes beach life as always.
Karey Home –
1801 North Indian River Road (at Riverview Place
This sleekly modern 1951 home brings in the outdoors as it extends daily living
outside. Coquina walls, diverse garden areas, Tennessee limestone patios & pathways ring the exterior.

River views & amazing sunsets accessed via street-wide right of way & kitty-corner lot placement complete the visual delights offered here.
