Contemporary 2 story home tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through street in St Augustine Beach. First level 9ft ceilings give the home a spacious and airy feel. Modern sleek kitchen with black granite counter tops, 39' cabinets w/etched glass inserts, convection oven, glass hood vent and other high end appliances, double bowl round sinks, porcelain tile, recessed lighting & reverse osmosis filtration system. The small waterway next to the backyard makes herons, ducks and turtles frequent welcome visitors readily observed from the open rear patio. Behind the waterway, a backdrop of trees and lush vegetation gives a sense of secluded privacy. Several windows in each room upstairs let sea breezes and the sound of waves wash through the house. Efficient modern lighting and upgraded insulation throughout, along with the brand new Trane aluminium complete air conditioning system installed last year with a Nest smart thermostat, will save energy costs for many years to come. Serenity Bay is an anomaly within the 32080 zip code. It's high elevation is unusual for the area and flood insurance is not required by regulation as confirmed by major storms in recent years. The HOA has no special restrictions on short term rentals. This 12 yr old neighborhood with only 45 homes is ideally located a short bike ride from the beach, Publix, Winn Dixie, Starbucks, Kookaburra, and many more of the island's hot spots, yet it withstands minimal traffic along its three short streets. Serenity Bay most efficiently addresses the needs of single families that want to live by the beach, at an average price of $50,000 to $100,000 less than homes with similar square footage in the area. Easy living with minimal maintenance. Don't miss out on this great buy!
