Located in the heart of Davis Shores on Anastasia Island, 43 Menendez Road delivers the quintessential St. Augustine lifestyle—steps from local restaurants, half a mile to the Lighthouse Boat Ramp, and just one mile from Historic Downtown and the Amphitheatre. Built in 2019 by Entire Inc., a respected local builder known for quality craftsmanship, this coastal home combines elevated construction, energy efficiency, and timeless design. Beyond the lifestyle appeal, the value proposition is equally compelling. Buildable lots in Davis Shores are currently selling in the $300,000–$350,000 range. Considering today’s construction costs, it would likely take approximately $500,000 or more to build a comparable 1,710-square-foot home with a pool. Between the land acquisition, rising material costs, labor, permitting, impact fees, and the time involved in new construction, replicating this property would be significantly more expensive and far more time-consuming. Set on a high 9-foot elevation with no history of flooding, it features a durable metal roof and full spray-foam insulation for year-round comfort and low utility costs. The open floor plan connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a bright, inviting space for gathering. The kitchen showcases quartz countertops, shaker cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and generous workspace, complemented by durable wood-tone flooring throughout. Glass doors extend the living area to a covered patio and private fenced backyard with a private pool. The first-floor primary suite provides convenience and privacy with a walk-in closet, spa-style bath, and direct access to the pool area. Upstairs are two spacious guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a loft / family room—a flexible space for a home office, media room, or play area. A first-floor laundry room and half bath add daily functionality. This property is offered fully furnished and turnkey, ready for immediate use as a primary residence, second home, or short-term rental. Zoned RS-2, it’s a proven income producer with a 4.8-star rating from guests who appreciate its design, comfort, and proximity to everything. Annual insurance remains favorable (HOI ˜ $1,356 | Flood ˜ $1,010). Nearby attractions include Conch House Marina (0.8 mi), Salt Run Access (0.4 mi), Anastasia State Park Beach Access (1.5 mi), and R.B.
