17 Bay View Dr St Augustine, FL 32084

Nestled in one of Uptown's most beloved neighborhoods, this circa 1925 cottage was thoughtfully transformed into a comfortable and welcoming home during a complete renovation and addition in 2004. In the past 6 years, the current owners have poured even more care and attention into the property, creating a place brimming with warmth and character. Now, they're excited to pass on this happy home to its next owners, hoping you'll find as much joy in it as they have. Positioned on a large corner lot, the fully fenced yard spans just under a quarter acre, offering ample space for your imagination - and your pets - to roam free. Whether you're dreaming of a garden oasis, water feature or a play area, the possibilities are numerous and there's room for more than one. The inviting wraparound porch is a favorite feature extending your living space outdoors. Thanks to a deep overhang, it provides shelter during spontaneous rain showers while soaking in both morning and afternoon light. Meanwhile, the back deck serves as the spot for grilling, entertaining friends, or watching your garden grow. Step inside, and you're in the sunlit living room, which offers several seating areas with views of the deck and expansive backyard. A versatile enclosed porch currently serves as a dedicated office but has also been used as a media room in the past. With four windows and three exposures, it also lends itself as an art studio or quiet reading nook. The dining room seamlessly flows into the deck and kitchen, creating a perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining. Once your friends find out where you've moved, they'll be eager to gather here. If you enjoy cooking, this kitchen will quickly become a favorite. With abundant storage, ample counter space, a large pantry, and a central island, it's easy for multiple cooks to collaborate and create delicious meals. Down the rear hallway, you'll find all three bedrooms. The spacious main bedroom is a sweet retreat, complete with a newly updated en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also spacious and share a hall bath, which conveniently connects to a large laundry room with a sink and extra storage space. The huge elevated deck is perfect for outdoor cooking, dining, and relaxation - providing ample space for enjoying those sunny afternoons and cool evenings. Whether you're hosting friends or simply unwinding, enjoying deck will quickly become a daily event. When you're not at home, you'll love exploring the vibrant neighborhood and all the neat offerings along San Marco Ave. The backyard is a blank canvas, ready for your vision. The southwest corner offers room for a potential garage, with plenty of space left for a pool, garden, bocce court, or whatever outdoor oasis you have in mind. Fullerwood Park, this welcoming neighborhood, adds to the appeal with its community garden, several little lending libraries, a playground, and an annual block party that brings everyone together. San Marco Ave, our local version of Main Street, is brimming with indie shops and unique eateries. And, when you're ready to explore even more, the heart of downtown is just a short distance away. Welcome to your new life - this is a place you're sure to fall in love with!
