It's not often that instant gratification crosses your path so don't miss this serendipitous moment! Presiding from the banks of a real lake, this immaculately kept residence invites you to try on its contemporary and casual lifestyle. This is a house to savor slowly so as not to miss a single detail and you can start at the covered front porch with its eastern exposure. Greet the sunrise with your morning coffee and a songbird serenade. Once inside the entry foyer, your gaze is instantly drawn to the water view straight ahead across the living room and screened porch. Just off the foyer, the flex room is on your right. Think office or library or add some French doors and make it a home theatre, gym or overflow 4th bedroom - whatever is on your wish list will work nicely in this sunny space. Generous living room is flooded with natural light and looks over to the splendid kitchen and adjacent dining area. Triple sliders open to the waterfront screened porch where al fresco meals will be a regular event. Evening cocktails with the daily sunset as your backdrop and the array of birds flying over the lake is sure to make you smile. Dining area has a smaller set of sliders opening to the porch so during cooler months the indoor and outdoor gathering spaces become one. The kitchen will inspire you to dine at home. A large island adds prep space plus seating for friends. A wealth of cabinets, counterspace and a walk-in pantry keeps everything within easy reach and out of sight and appliances have been replaced in recent years. Just off the kitchen, there's a micro office and a large laundry room with welcome storage. Sunny main bedroom has a bank of 3 windows overlooking the lake. A private bath with walk-in shower, extended vanity with double sinks and a large closet complete the suite. Guest bedrooms are on the other side of the house and share the hall bath. The outdoor living is as enticing as the indoor gathering rooms. Screened porch offers year round use and there are sunshades to keep you cool in summer. The owner is as meticulous outside as in, so the backyard is wonderfully landscaped while 18' x 13' patio has a knee wall on two sides offering additional seating while you're grilling for family and friends. An aluminum fence keeps 4-legged friends and the younger generation in tow so this crew can run around freely. Large 2-car garage can actually hold 2 vehicles with room left over to store bikes and outdoor toys. This is as easy as calling the movers and letting the Post Office where to send your mail. Coquina Ridge is centrally located with fast access to major roadways. You're less than 10 minutes to the closest Publix shopping center, 15 to downtown St Augustine or I95 and a few more minutes takes you to the closest beach. Compare the quality of construction, detail, appointments and design to brand new homes and come back to 346 Montiano Circle - we'll be on the front porch waiting to say hello.
