Embrace Florida living in this 3BR/2BA island, pool home! Situated on a large lot (86' x 140'), the spacious yard offers mature trees and plenty of room to make it your own and you can't beat the location. Inside offers a traditional floor plan with the formal living room to the front and a short hall that opens to the family room, and kitchen. The family room has a wood burning fireplace flanked by a pair of windows for great natural light in the main living areas. The kitchen serves as the anchor of the home and has counter seating where family and friends will want to gather. The kitchen offers plenty of workspace, counter seating for a few and the dining area can easily accommodate a table for 6-8. Sliders off the family room and master bedroom open to the 30' x 11' Florida Room and a stone walkway leads you to the pool, a perfect place for entertaining friends and family in the coming summer months. Situated on a large lot (86' x 140'), the spacious backyard offers mature trees and plenty of room to make it your own and you can't beat the location. Nestled on a small street off the main road, its close enough to most things you'll need or want. Walk to the Ampitheatre for the Farmer's Market or a concert, bike to Anastasia State Park, drop the boat in the water at Lighthouse Park or bike downtown to Historic St. Augustine, it's all close by. A project for sure, this home is ready for some updating, but the roof and AC were completed in 2017 so you can cross those off your list and get started on the rest! Offered AS IS with inspections welcomed.
