Just steps to the beach, this renovated private coastal retreat in St. Augustine Beach is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and offers the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and convenience. At the end of the cul-de-sac, a charming bridge over the retention pond leads straight to nearby beach access—just a quick and easy five-minute walk to the sand. Designed with a unique “upside-down” floor plan, this peaceful coastal retreat elevates the main living spaces for added privacy and tranquil lagoon-style views. The light-filled second floor features an open great room with warm wood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, a bright dining area, and a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances and an incredible oversized pantry. Step onto the partial wrap-around deck from both the living room and the updated primary suite and enjoy serene scenery filled with birds, turtles, and lush landscaping. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms and a second living area with a wet bar/kitchenette provide ideal space for guests or an in-law suite, along with an updated bath, laundry, and access to the attached two-car garage with custom storage. Thoughtful upgrades throughout include new doors, trim, fixtures, dual HVAC systems (one recently replaced), filtered water, well-fed irrigation, and a newer water heater, all in a high-and-dry home with solid concrete block construction on the first level. Move-in ready and ideal for younger couples, empty nesters, or weekend beach house buyers, this quiet island escape delivers coastal living at its best.
