SOLID HOME WITH BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD

In the same family for 40+ years, the siblings remember their growing up years with great affection and now it’s time for a new generation to bring this ranch up-to-date and start generating its own memories. Located on a great street in a super island neighborhood, allow plenty of time to take in the excellent backyard. Think of having your own personal park and you’ll get the idea. Taking advantage of our normally temperate climate, the outdoor space will accommodate all kinds of recreation.

Circa 1961, this ranch has a central core of common rooms, starting with the living room up front where you can enjoy the fireplace on those chilly evenings. A family room, Florida room and eat-in-kitchen offer plenty of options for gathering together or separating your activities – it’s your choice. On the north side the en-suite master is a large room with a big closet. Some rearranging would make a larger bathroom without compromising any of the space. the other sleeping quarters are on the south side of the house. Three bedrooms (one with a renovated en-suite half bath) flank a newly remodeled full bath which is also easily accessed from the main rooms. A utility room and additional storage are located off the kitchen and you can step out to the patio from the utility room and the Florida room. And that’s when you step out onto the patio and catch your breath.

A 19′ x 21′ patio stretches out in front of you and there’s a wooden multi-tiered planter for your potted herb garden. Two benches under a wooden lintel offer a shady spot for contemplation. Cedar trees dot the property offering shade when you want it with a tropically landscaped “island” where you can work out your green thumb. A 10′ x 12′ workshop has a 6′ x 12′ covered porch for hobbies under roof and is a great spot for a potting area.

The south end of Coquina Avenue is a great place to hang your hat and get to know the neighbors as they walk by with their dogs or ride their bikes to the Farmer’s Market and the great live concerts at the St Augustine Amphitheatre (be careful because your friends will want to park in your driveway!). Anyway you look at it, if the laid back lifestyle of Davis Shores appeals to you and having serious and beautiful outdoor space is critical to your survival, we’ve got the place for you. See you there!
