1009 NW Terrace Road, Stuart, FL 34994

In Stuart, life has always followed the water. Fishing boats leave before sunrise, afternoons unfold along the river, and evenings bring families and friends together in a downtown that has preserved much of its old Florida character. Along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, 1009 NW Terrace Road offers a place within that story. Incorporated in 1914, Stuart has grown without losing the qualities that have defined it for generations. Historic streets, locally owned shops, waterfront restaurants, and a community whose connection to the water runs deep. Known as the Sailfish Capital of the World, Stuart remains a place where fishing is more than a pastime and time spent on the water is part of everyday life. Positioned on 0.31 acres with 81 feet of waterfrontage, the property offers a setting increasingly difficult to find. With no fixed bridges between the property and open water, offshore fishing grounds are approximately 10 minutes away by boat, depending on conditions. In the other direction, Historic Downtown Stuart is just moments from home, with its boutiques, restaurants, and Riverwalk overlooking the St. Lucie River. Built in 2014, the residence reflects a balance of enduring construction and comfortable waterfront living. The first level is constructed of concrete block (CBS), while the second features frame construction, with impact windows and doors throughout. Terrazzo floors anchor the first level, giving way to genuine hardwood flooring upstairs. Across 4,394 square feet of interior living space and 5,823 square feet in total, five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half bathroom provide room for extended family, visiting friends, and the kind of weekends that have long been part of life along the river. Yet the significance of this property reaches beyond its architecture or square footage. Homes can be renovated, rooms reimagined, and finishes changed with time. What remains is the land, the relationship to the river, and a location within one of Florida's most established waterfront communities. At 1009 NW Terrace Road, the appeal is not simply owning a home on the water. It is becoming part of a way of life that has shaped Stuart for more than a century.
