Steal another glance at this colorful community and begin your exploration.

Swing open the teak front door and marsh views immediately greet you from the south end of the house. Richly hued wood floors run through the 1st floor nicely complementing a myriad of styles. Kitchen, dining, living and family rooms all run together enjoying a peaceful vista of graceful oak trees and the water. Take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with the versatility of those Scandinavian windows and doors which open 2 different ways - leave them open and they let in the breeze in while keeping any rain out. A gas fireplace straddling the kitchen, family and living rooms is hoping for a streak of cool evenings and so will you be. Down the hall from the kitchen you'll find a large pantry closet, 1/2 bath, generous laundry room and the door to the garage. All the bedrooms live upstairs. En-suite master has a treetop and water view from inside and out on the covered porch. 2nd and 3rd bedrooms share the updated hall bath and enjoy northern exposures. All the sleeping rooms have vaulted wood ceilings and softly carpeted floors. Attached single car garage has room for a car and then some. The beach is right across A1A and a few minutes south brings you to the Publix plaza, Puccini's Pizza and a few shops. Further down Vilano Rd you'll find restaurants and a fishing pier. Got a boat? There's a public ramp across the bridge and a little further south, downtown St Augustine is waiting to welcome you. Intelligently designed, solidly built and beautiful -it's a hidden gem.
