GREAT ISLAND NEIGHBORHOOD

Presiding from its high perch in the El Granada neighborhood, this is a favorite island location mixing equal parts of sunshine with shade trees and offering a tranquil setting of gently rolling topography – a welcome antidote to the typical grid. Enjoying a quiet spot on the cul-de-sac, there is wonderful privacy afforded in both the front and back yard of this single-story home courtesy of established and mature landscaping. Living larger than it sounds, the floor plan is very comfortable.

Sleeping quarters wrap around the south side of the house with the generous master overlooking the tree line at the back. The second and third bedrooms are at the front and share a tiled hall bath. The eat-in-kitchen has a spacious spot for casual meals and opens up to the deck where you’ll find yourself gathering for outdoor dining and entertaining. The living room spills out to the deck and the yard and presents a soothing view any time of the year. You’ll wish for cool evenings so you can make use of the fireplace set on the diagonal with a wood accent above it. For more formal events, the dining room with its generous bay window will easily accommodate family and friends when they come to gather.

The oversized garage will please the hobbyist and auto enthusiast and still leave ample room for bikes, kayaks and other equipment for your outdoor adventures. The backyard begs for a garden so polish up your green thumb. Some updates have been made but there is room for you to put your personal stamp on the house to make it suit your style.

El Granada is a small neighborhood where residents walk their dogs, chat at the mailbox and wave when they see you. Tucked off the main road, you’ll forget how close you are to just about everything you need and want. It’s an easy walk to the St Augustine Amphitheatre where you can enjoy some amazing concerts and events including the Saturday Farmer’s Market and if you get out your bike, you can be at the beautiful Anastasia State Park beach in minutes. There’s a wide array of independent restaurants and services , along with some interesting retail in both directions and you have your choice of shopping centers further south or over the 312 bridge on the mainland. Lots to explore and discover here so pay a visit and try it on for size.
