Description: A spectacular waterfront Penthouse is one of a limited number of residences in San Marco’s only new riverfront community.

Offering just six homes in the first phase —a combination of Riverhomes, Townhomes and Penthouses - 1616 River Road reflects the historic nature of San Marco while bringing a new and dynamic feel to this exclusive area. In harmony with the surrounding neighborhood, the riverfront buildings are designed to reflect the scale of the already established look and feel of historic San Marco.

A spectacular 55-foot screened lanai overlooks a wide and lengthy portion of the St. Johns River. However, the riverfront view does not stop there. It continues with the great room, den, master bedroom and kitchen.

All have panoramic views of the St. Johns River. Natural stone or engineered hardwood flooring complement smooth, barrel-vaulted ceilings in the entry gallery and tall ceilings measuring approximately 10 feet throughout the home.

Crown moulding frames every room - 7” crown moulding in the living areas and 5” crown moulding adorns the bedrooms and even the laundry room. Niches, alcoves and step tray ceilings abound. The luxurious owner’s suite is a serene retreat where the warm gleam of all wood raised-panel cherry or maple cabinets, combined with the beauty of polished granite and natural stone flooring create a tranquil haven.

Draw a warm bath in the Jacuzzi tub or rinse off in a separate shower with dual showerheads which is encased by glass and stone. Enjoy individual granite top vanities, Kohler plumbing fixtures and solid brass faucets with a choice of finishes ranging from brushed nickel to oil rubbed bronze, as well as custom designed closets by Ponte Vedra Closets.

State-of-the-art appliances and adjoining butler’s pantry come standard in the Penthouse’s true gourmet kitchen.

Wolf gas cook top, electric oven, warming drawer, 42-inch Subzero refrigerator and a U-Line wine chiller are appliance products you will love to use in the kitchen. The Bosch front-end load washer and dryer will make laundry less of a chore. The Lutron RadioRa lighting control system and structured media wiring are essentials for modern living. Granite countertops with 4-inch backsplashes are situated beneath furniture-quality cabinetry.

The Penthouse at 1616 River Road is the right combination of light and space. Clean Mediterranean lines lift the eye to lofty ceilings where river reflections dance.
