Nestled under old-growth oaks and palms and just moments from the beach, this one-story home in Ponte Vedra By The Sea has an excellent layout for entertaining inside and out. The kitchen was designed to be a gathering spot, open to the Great Room. Cabinets are loaded with storage, as is the walk-in pantry. Nestled inside the front door is a room with French doors, now a sitting room that could be a formal dining room or office. A similar space at the back of this home is now used as an office; imagine a studio here, with its abundant natural light. The three bedrooms, each off their own hallways, have spacious closets, high ceilings, and large windows. Other special features include natural wood floors, transom windows, paver driveway and walkway, wood deck, and a private lot adjoining the preserve. Around the corner on Ponte Vedra Blvd. are the private oceanfront Lodge & Club and Cabana Club, as well as 1912 Ocean restaurant (open to the public). Open House 4-21-24, 12-2 p.m.
