Listing of the Day
Location: Vero Beach, Florida
Price: $21.75 million
This recently renovated oceanfront home in one of Vero Beach, Florida’s high-end gated communities offers a pool, a two-bedroom guest cottage, two bars, an elevator and 130 feet of beach.
The development, known as Windsor, is a 472-acre new urbanist community on a barrier island between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. It now has 350 home sites, including village homes, cottages and beachfront estates, along with a main village, a town hall, a store and a post office.
“Everything is within walking distance,” said Betsy Hanley, president of Windsor Real Estate Inc.

The Eton Way home is owned by Jay Newman, an American novelist and former hedge fund portfolio manager, and his wife, Elissa Kramer, a retired radiologist, Hanley said. Newman’s debut novel about dark money and global politics, “Undermoney,” was published in 2022.
The couple bought the house in 2021 and immediately began a restoration, Hanley said. “The house was built in 2003, so it wasn’t old. It needed some updating, and they refreshed it.”
She described it as an “upside-down house,” with the main living spaces on the second floor to take advantage of the beach and ocean views out beyond the sand dunes.
Architectural and design details include a front entry garden, an auto court, a mix of hardwood and stone floors, columns, French doors, crown moldings and built-ins.

The front door of the home opens to a central entry hall with dual curved staircases that lead up to the oceanfront great room, which has living and dining spaces, a bar, a double vaulted ceiling and two fireplaces, one at each end of the room, according to the listing.
To the left is the renovated kitchen and a casual seating area, Hanley said. This level also holds an office, a den and the primary bedroom wing, which has vaulted ceilings, a private covered porch with direct access to the pool and beach, a stone-clad bathroom with two walk-in closets, and a study with a private west-facing balcony.
The ground floor has four en-suite bedrooms and a game room with a wet bar and a fireplace that opens to a loggia, the pool terrace and the dune crossover to the beach, according to the listing.

“Everything has views out to the Atlantic, and this is not a very busy beach,” Hanley said.
Meanwhile, the greater community is really a unique community in Florida, she said. It was developed in 1990 by Galen and Hillary Weston, “who wanted a place in the sun for themselves and like-minded people.”
The community’s relaxed atmosphere is a “whole different vibe and feel than the rest of South Florida,” Hanley said. The least expensive home in Windsor is now listed for $4.7 million and “it will probably go for higher than that,” she said.
Florida is made up of a lot of “little suburban communities where you may wave at your neighbors,” she said. “Here, you’re walking or on a golf cart and you really get to know your neighbors.”

Neighborhood Notes
The home is on the east side of Highway A1A, very close to the amenities and beach club, Hanley said. It’s about 10 minutes to Vero Beach, a “quite charming community. It still has a little bit of that small-town charm.”
It’s about an hour-and-20-minute drive to the airport in Orlando and an hour and thirty minutes to the one in Palm Beach, she said.
