Description

Location! Location! Never flooded and more at this desirable Davis Shores Charmer! This pretty coastal gem offers a 9 minute walk over the Bridge of Lions into downtown, historic Saint Augustine! Steps out the back door bring you to the many acclaimed restaurants, bars, breweries and shops of Anastasia Island. Rocking chairs on the inviting front porch are set to enjoy morning coffee and to offer greetings to neighbors passing by. A retractable screen door has been added to let the bay breeze in. Step into the bright, welcoming, open living area painted in light shades of blues and greens that reflect seaside living. You’ll find hardwood floors, trim molding, large windows and great storage. The kitchen has been updated with a cork floor, and attractive granite countertops, expanded to accommodate extra seating. All stainless steel appliances, including a dual-fuel range/oven, open shelving, soft-close drawers, and a great tucked-away bar area combine to make this a highly functioning space for cooking and entertaining. The sea colors next draw you into the large primary bedroom, which offers his and hers closets. A beautifully updated ensuite bathroom opens with a pocket door, includes marble floor and wall tiles, a glass enclosed shower, water inspired wallpaper, bespoke wainscoting and all new fixtures; toilet, vanity, mirror, lighting. The large second bedroom features an ensuite with the original coveted “Mamie Eisenhower” pink tile on walls and shower. It has also been updated with all new fixtures. Passing through the mud room/ laundry area brings you into the two car garage and out onto a new stamped concrete patio. Landscaping (with a fig tree!) is equipped with sprinkler systems to cover ground, planters, and hanging pots. This is a perfect spot to enjoy evening cocktails around a firepit while dinner is being grilled. We said there’s more! Back through the laundry room brings you upstairs to an efficiency apartment, with its own private, side entrance and patio area. It features a kitchenette, new AC/heat, walk-in closet, and large full bathroom. This second floor space would be perfect as an in-law setup, for visiting guests, a home office/ studio or even for rental income. And one more thing! The backyard is surrounded by an attractive shadow box fence with electrical outlets and gates. A 37’ driveway and 50 amp electrical service has been installed to accommodate RV parking (think guest house!) or boat storage. This prime location and lovingly maintained home will go quick!
