Beautiful wood flooring, a stone fireplace (new insert firebox and relining make it fully functional), and double living areas provide scenic views of both the front and back. Modern white kitchen has new stainless appliances, new tile flooring and includes a double doorway to backyard oasis in addition to convenient access to the garage and new laundry systems. The front bedroom has windows at almost every corner and an ensuite bath which also opens to the hall. Primary suite is roomy with (electric) fireplace and sitting nook with the benefit of sunshine spilling in from multiple windows. Barn doors lead to attractive & extensive primary bath with new fixtures. 3rd bedroom is being used as a study/workout room. The backyard has been upgraded extensively to become a tropical paradise with the addition of a luxury pool with several water features, meandering pavers, new landscaping and strong new decking surrounding a jacuzzi. There is also a bonus firepit sitting area under a mature tree complemented by a custom mural by renowned Florida artist David Nackashi. The home has been so well maintained it is truly turnkey. More upgrades include: new AC (2024), new flat roof (2023), new large front load washer/dryer (2023), new pool pump, sprinkler pump, hot tub cover and porch tiles (to clean up front porch after custom wrought iron was installed.) Entire home has been painted in order to convey in a prime move in ready condition. Even the delightful little sidewalk library has been managed with care as it opens to frequent passers by. Offered furnished, this property would make an excellent turn-key vacation rental investment as the proximity to downtown from Anastasia Island simply can't be beat (1 week minimum). St Johns County boasts the best school district in the state and St Augustine in particular has grown in popularity as both a popular destination and an ideal full time residence. 6 Oglethorpe provides the best of so many worlds.
