About This Property
Casa de Paz -- ''House of Peace'' -- is a stunning, renovated
Mediterranean-style estate reminiscent of the grand villas of Italy
and Spain, yet perfectly situated in the heart of Cocoa along
Florida's booming Space Coast. Timeless, elegant, and sun-soaked,
this extraordinary residence offers expansive gathering spaces
designed for entertaining alongside intimate retreats meant for
quiet moments and relaxation. Positioned on an elevated triple lot
with direct views of the Indian River, Casa de Paz is proudly
recognized on the Brevard Historic Registry. Originally built
in 1924 by developers D.P. Davis this iconic estate is located in
Cocoa's coveted Carlton Terrace neighborhood with neighborhood
river access park across the street. Rich in architectural
character, the home showcases classic Mediterranean details
including Italian tile, warm wood flooring, wrought iron accents,
dramatic tray ceilings, and refinished casement windows complete
with their original hardware. Much of the home's original woodwork
was meticulously restored between 2006 and 2007, including the
grand entry doors and hardware, preserving the home's historic
integrity while enhancing its timeless beauty. The sun-washed
yellow stucco exterior is beautifully complemented by a newer red
barrel-tile roof, creating an unmistakable Mediterranean presence.
Guests are welcomed through the home's classic "sleeping porch,"
featuring gracefully curved open windows designed to capture
Florida's coastal breezes. The 2,778-square-foot main residence
offers spacious yet inviting living areas, including a formal
living room, dining room, updated kitchen with breakfast nook, 3
bedrooms, and 2-1/2 baths. The living room centers around a
beautifully tiled fireplace with an engraved wood mantel, while the
kitchen blends historic charm with modern functionality, featuring
restored cabinetry, antique silver hardware, breakfast bar seating
for 4 and elegant pendant lighting. Updated plumbing (PVC) and
electrical for peace of mind. A graceful wood staircase with
intricate scrolled ironwork leads to the second level, where the
impressive primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat complete
with a private sitting area, fireplace, and access to a
second-story balcony overlooking the Indian River. The spa-inspired
primary bath features coordinating granite and stone finishes along
with a spacious walk-in shower. 2 additional upstairs bedrooms and
bath are equally well-appointed and share access to another balcony
with breathtaking water views. The 850-square-foot guest house
offers exceptional flexibility and privacy, featuring its own
kitchen, living room, family room, bedroom and full bath. Outdoor
living at Casa de Paz is equally enchanting. The grounds feature a
pristine, recently resurfaced pool and patio, winding garden
pathways with lush tropical foliage, a brick-paver loggia and a
pergola shaded by a majestic oak tree. A large portico further
enhances the estate's grandeur and functionality. Blending the
romance and elegance of European Mediterranean villas with the
