ST AUGUSTINE BEACH HOUSE

Offered by the original owner, this 1986 beach house just completed a round of improvements to make it a sweet spot for the next residents. Just 6 blocks from the closest beach access and the hot spots on A1A, this stretch of F Street is purely residential so you get the best of both within a 5-minute walk of your front door. A covered porch is ready for some comfortable chairs so you can watch the new landscaping grow while you contemplate what kind of fun is on your agenda and where to eat.

Step inside this sunny house and try it on for size. An open plan keeps it simple with ample wall space for furniture groupings and plenty of natural light. The kitchen opens to the dining room but is not visible from the front entry so you can cook meals with abandon! You’ll find plenty of workspace and cabinets with a handy pass through over the breakfast bar.

Brand new sliders in the dining room let the gatherings spill out to the 12 x 12 patio and backyard. Bedrooms are on the east side of the house with the en-suite master at the back. A generous hall bath serves the two additional bedrooms and day guests as well. The 1,200SF plan has very little wasted space and lives larger than it looks from the street.

A deep single-car garage has laundry hook-ups, a new garage door opener and a pedestrian door to the backyard. There’s a partial chain link fence in back (one section and a gate being replaced soon) so pets will have room to roam safely.

St Augustine Beach offers a laid-back island lifestyle with its long stretch of white sand beach and a host of eateries, small shops and services and you can ride your beach cruiser to everything including the Publix shopping center where you’ll also find Starbucks, RIPE Restaurant, great ice cream among other things and then there’s more to eat and do at SeaGrove with a great new restaurant and a library.

Ask for a list of improvements and foundation work and then make your way over the F Street and check it out in person.
