Embrace Florida living in this beautiful marsh front, pool home! A quintessential ranch, this 4BR/3BA home lends itself to the casual lifestyle it was designed to provide. Mature oaks stand tall in the front and provide a welcoming shade and the wide front porch is a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or tea or sit and chat with the neighbors as they pass by. Inside, a generous formal living room to the left overlooks the front porch and yard and enjoys diffused natural light filtering in through the large windows. There's a dedicated office to the right but the views across the pool to the marsh beckon you down the short hall to the heart of the home where family and friends will love to gather. Entertaining is easy here and thankfully the kitchen is equipped to handle meals for 2 or 20. Lots of cabinet and counter space, casual seating for 6 at the counter height island, stainless appliances, gas cooktop and a huge pantry so everything you need is close by, but yet out of sight. The dining room is directly across from the kitchen so it's just steps back and forth from stove to table and the gas fireplace keeps things cozy. Tall ceilings in the family room give this great space an even loftier feel and a 4-door slider runs across the back of the room allowing for great natural light and picture-perfect views to the marsh. In the backyard, meet the space that you'll practically live in all summer. A 30x55 screen enclosure with a solar heated pool surrounded by stone pavers on the spacious lanai and a great green space perfect for gardening or a game of catch. Back inside if you must, the en-suite master is a spacious retreat with a nice sized bedroom with beautiful views of the marsh and back yard. The master bath is complete with a 6ft tub, oversized shower, double sinks with seating space between. The utility room and walk-in storage closet are down the hall from the master while the 3 guest bedrooms and 2 full baths are on the opposite side. A series of updates and renovations over the last 10 years can be appreciated throughout this wonderful home and the location is just as great. The small cul-de-sac street is tucked off the main road but still close enough to most things you'll need or want. Walk to the Ampitheatre for the Farmer's Market or a concert, bike to Anastasia State Park, drop the boat in the water at Lighthouse Park or bike downtown to Historic St. Augustine, it's all close by. See you there!
