Welcome to your own slice of island life, tucked between the Matanzas River and Butler Beach, where days can begin on the water and end with spectacular sunsets over the marsh, in an ideal location with NO HOA. Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home combines the relaxed coastal lifestyle with a flexible layout designed to grow and adapt with you. The main living space upstairs is bright and inviting, featuring a full kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Step outside onto the expansive upper deck and you'll quickly understand what makes this home special. Beautiful marsh views create a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee, outdoor dinners or evenings gathered around the fire table as the sun sets. Downstairs, 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath and kitchenette provide wonderful flexibility for everyday life. Create a private guest suite for visiting family and friends, a comfortable space for multigenerational living, a home office, media room or separate living area. With its own entrance, the space also offers the option for rental income, if desired. Outdoor spaces are made for enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Relax in the hot tub after a day at the beach, entertain on the extended deck and BBQ area, or enjoy the privacy of the fenced backyard. The oversized 2-car garage offers exceptional room for bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, beach gear and toys, while the extended driveway provides parking for up to four additional vehicles. The location is ideal; you’re just one block from the Intracoastal Waterway and a public boat ramp, less than a mile from the Butler Beach access ramp with 4x4 beach access, and approximately 9 miles from the restaurants, shops and historic charm of Downtown St. Augustine. Thoughtful improvements provide added peace of mind, including a new roof and gutters (2022), crawl space encapsulation with dehumidifier (2025), downstairs HVAC (2022), hot tub and deck extension, electrical improvements, rear fencing, washer and dryer, painting, new doors and additional updates completed within the past few years. Whether you're searching for a full-time island home, a coastal getaway, an investment property, or simply a place with room for everyone, this unique property offers the space, flexibility and laid-back lifestyle that make St. Augustine's island communities so special. The property is currently used as a short-term rental with options to rent the downstairs separately or as part of the entire house. Rental income available upon request to serious buyers.
