A piece of Ormond history has hit the real estate market.
The house at 2627 John Anderson Drive in Ormond-by-the-Sea, which sits on land formerly part of town co-founder John Anderson's 1800-1900 estate, has been listed at $5 million. The waterfront home has six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms and sits on 1.6 acres of land, according to a press release.
This property was previously owned by Gordon J. McCarthy, who, in 1986, brought in a World War II-era tugboat to anchor on the property. He lived on the tugboat as he built the home.
McCarthy died in 2015 and the home was "just stone, foundations and brickwork," the press release states. The current owner purchased it in 2017 for $550,000 and completed construction.
"Constructed with impenetrable poured concrete and Chicago brick from the turn of the century, this waterfront masterpiece is dubbed the ‘Mona Lisa,'" the press release states. "The Tuscan inspired villa is flanked by vaulted ceilings and unusual architectural details."
Notable features include a modern living space with a 25-foot limestone fireplace, iron detailing, a gourmet kitchen and a two-story master suite with two full baths, its own office and balcony. There is also a separate carriage house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home also has a private entry office and three garages,
Outdoor features include 3,000-square feet of entertaining space with a heated saltwater pool, kitchen, fire pit, shower, 10,000-pound boat lift and private dock.
The house is listed by Patrick Meyer and Kory Lostaglio with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
