140 Orchis Road St Augustine, FL 32086

First-timers, downsizers, second-homers - 140 Orchis Road checks the boxes for easy and casual living in St Augustine South. Framed by welcome shade trees, this updated single-story house with a brand new roof features a 32' x 16' inground liner pool in the generous backyard along with ample green space for outdoor grilling and dining. Entering from the front porch, the living room opens up with expansive wall space for furniture groupings and media needs. With an easy flow to the combination kitchen and dining room plus Florida room in back, everyone stays connected during meal prep, and hosting parties will be a regular event. Kitchen is thoughtfully laid out so everything you need is within easy reach and an abundance of storage keeps things organized and out of sight. The dining area can hold a large table for daily meals and dinner parties but remember you have a 28' x 10' heated and cooled Florida room just waiting to be used. Hallway off the living room leads to the sleeping wing with the primary bedroom in the northeast corner overlooking the front yard. A large room with a private bathroom, there's an additional transom window on the north wall under which a king-sized bed will fit just perfectly. Bedrooms #2 and 3 face the pool and backyard and share the hall bath. Washer and dryer are located in the extra deep garage which opens to the kitchen. A south facing window in the laundry area brings in natural light and there's a handy utility sink here too. The Florida room is the heart of the house with easy access to backyard/pool and kitchen/living spaces. Measuring 280SF with a perfect spot for the biggest flatscreen you can find, this room offers the flex space we all want. The pool and deck occupy one half of the yard so there's plenty left over for other outdoor recreation. St Augustine South is a favorite neighborhood with its wonderful tree canopy of live oaks and other mature trees. Put your boat or kayak in at the neighborhood ramps, ride your bike along Shore Drive and enjoy the beauty of the Intracoastal, meet the neighbors walking their dogs - it's an easy decision to make the South your new home. Even though 140 Orchis Road is tucked away off the main road, it's a snap to get to everything you need in 5-10 minutes including grocery stores, a host of restaurants, medical facilities, retail and home improvement stores and then you hang a right on SR 312 and take yourself to the beach. Sweet!
