About this home
70 RIVERSIDE DRIVE
Historic Ormond charm blends seamlessly with refined modern design at the exceptional 70 Riverside. Thoughtfully crafted by acclaimed local architect Bill Chapin, this custom residence sits in one of Ormond Beach’s most coveted locations and features the original Rockefeller seawall along its picturesque waterfront. Perfectly positioned for an active coastal lifestyle, you’re just a short stroll to the beach, a quick golf cart ride to Oceanside Country Club, moments from The Casements, and direct access to the Halifax River from your own backyard. A private dock equipped with water and electric, a boat lift, and dedicated jet ski lifts makes enjoying life on the water effortless. Designed with both everyday comfort and upscale entertaining in mind, the home offers a flowing, open layout with beautifully connected living spaces. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, complete with an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and seamless transition into formal living and dining areas. Expansive outdoor living spaces overlook the pool, fenced yard, and tranquil riverfront setting. Upstairs, all four bedrooms feature ensuite baths and stunning river views, while a fifth bedroom on the main level provides flexibility for a primary suite or private in-law accommodations. Additional highlights include a spacious upstairs recreation room, a well-appointed laundry room, generous closet space, and multiple balconies that capture the surrounding natural beauty. Located along the iconic one-way stretch of Riverside Drive, shaded by a canopy of mature trees, this property offers unmatched character and walkability. From watching dolphins pass by your dock to enjoying breathtaking sunsets and front-row views of Fourth of July fireworks from your backyard, this is a rare opportunity to experience true waterfront living at its finest.

Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.

Where $545/sqft sits among the 400 Ormond Beach actives
The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property. Condition, floor, view and lot are not fully captured by any model — ask us for a full comparative market analysis.
