3603 HARBOR DR St Augustine, FL 32084

Life on Camachee Island is about embracing the natural beauty stretching out in all directions - think marsh with ever-changing colors of grass, the river where you can spy a sailboat on the horizon, sea breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean ruffling palm fronds and an array of graceful water birds that make you grab the binoculars. Open the gate into the front courtyard where orchids thrive in this sheltered space. Adjacent 1-car garage and outdoor storage closet offer most welcome storage. As the front door swings open, your gaze is drawn to the peaceful view on the other side of the glassed-in Florida room but there first let's explore the inside. Honey-hued wood floors complement a neutral color palette and you'll notice you've begun to relax. Generous kitchen is on the right with a wealth of crisp white contemporary cabinets and black soapstone counter space. Big pantry, separate laundry closet plus a casual dining nook under the courtyard window complete the room. Owner loves the large open "window" connecting kitchen to gathering room where guests can sit at the cypress bar top during meal prep. Living and dining enjoy unbroken marsh views and soft natural light bathes the room. Wood-burning fireplace is welcome in cooler months so be patient. Owner's bedroom is off the Florida room - this large retreat combines sleeping area with private sitting room. En-suite bathroom has walk-in shower, double vanities with ample storage and an outfitted closet. A wall of windows invites the outdoors in so starting the day with coffee and a daily sunrise makes this Florida room a favorite spot. Step outside and breathe deeply to take in the air scented by the ocean - ah. Guest quarters are up front with a spacious bedroom and adjacent bath also accessed from the entry foyer. Split bedrooms assure privacy for your inevitable list of visitors. Camachee Island amenities include pool, marina, a genuine nautical ambiance and 2 restaurants within walking distance. Magic!
