A century ago, Mr. Mellon of Pittsburgh was told he might sleep and rest easier on Summer Haven. After a long train ride, and then a further boat ride from St. Augustine, Mr. Mellon found this little island and made it home. The Mitchell's cottage, built on the old estate tennis court, at the northwest gate that led to Ned Mellon's house, keeps the character of Summer Haven alive and well. Blue/grey composite shingles, porches, white rails and a picket fence, a lighthouse red door welcome you into gleaming wood floors, high ceilings and casual comfort everywhere. Welcome home to 'the refuge', safe haven for family and friends. This four bedroom , three bath home has finishes you will admire and want to make your own. Come see this incredible seaside home. This coastal haven is nicknamed "The Refuge". The ocean is a stone's throw to the east, the river, down the block - a very forgiving and comforting location. Four bedrooms up, plus dreamy porch beds with a peek of the ocean, this New England style home is made for seaside entertaining, holidays, family. Three bath's plus an outdoor beach shower for the salty kids and dogs. The picket fence, shingle sides, open & screened porches welcome you home to the island, Matanzas Inlet, Summer Haven.
