It's 3 blocks to sand, sea and unlimited sunshine and then it's back home to our favorite St Augustine Beach neighborhood. Boasting the best tree canopy at the beach, the sun-dappled street is so welcome after a day of surfing and collecting shells. Architecturally speaking, 5 Sea Oaks has always been appealing with its private courtyard entry and contemporary design. Set back from the street with a driveway that will happily accommodate all your friends when they come to visit, the orientation makes the entrance nice and private. Courtyard is a blank canvas waiting for your imagination to create the best use for your lifestyle. A short foyer opens to a wonderful gathering area under a lofty ceiling and there's a huge stone fireplace acting as the main focal point. With such an abundance of space, you can create a couple of seating areas and still have ample room for a dining room table that will make you the Thanksgiving host every year. Kitchen is tucked out of view of the front door but is open to living and dining. A long bar separates counters, cabinets and appliances from the casual seating on the other side of the stepped up bartop. 2 or more can easily work together in this generous kitchen which enjoys natural light through a large window overlooking that courtyard. Pantry closet, laundry room and access to the garage are just off the kitchen, and sliders open to a small screened porch. At the back of the house, a flex room is ready to be whatever you need it to be - 3rd bedroom, office, gym or some combo. You can also access the south patio from here. Main bedroom is really big and has two walls of windows facing the back and side yards. Bathroom has a 50s ambiance but there is room to make it bigger and more contemporary without compromising the bedroom. Hall bath was renovated recently and has an excellent walk-in shower. 2nd bedroom faces the front yard and it's another large room with a walk-in closet. Backyard is supremely private thanks to a tall fence and nice tree canopy at the rear. There's another patio by the main bedroom and the north side of the yard is paved so your boat or camper has its own parking pad tucked inside the fence. Oversized garage can hold 2 vehicles and all your beach toys (electric car charger already installed). Masonry construction and Flood Zone X-shaded takes away the worry and you can put your imprint on this cool house to make it your own. The Sellers loved their 13 years in the Sea Oaks neighborhood and we think you will too.
