Description of 216 Fifth Street, St. Augustine - MLS# 2142057
This custom three-story residence sits on a private 100x100 lot just a short stroll from the beach, offering a level of space, flexibility, and craftsmanship that is rarely found in Vilano Beach. Set within a uniquely desirable neighborhood with no HOA, the location delivers true coastal living with one-block access to both the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. From the moment you arrive, wide wraparound porches, paddle fans, mature trees, extensive paver work, and new privacy fencing create a setting that feels relaxed, private, and secure. The ground level is anchored by an expansive 1,373-square-foot, 3 car garage designed with function in mind, featuring ample room for vehicles, fishing gear, boat, storage, and a custom California Closets workbench wall, along with a fully separate in-law suite with its own private entrance and thoughtfully designed kitchenette. Whether used for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or additional income, this is real, usable flexibility. The main living level is where the home truly comes to life. A chef's kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, a six-burner range, dual ovens, custom cabinetry, and a large pantry flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, creating a space that works well for everyday living and entertaining. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and character, while a beautifully built fireplace with an electric insert creates a natural focal point. A formal dining room sits just off the kitchen, and the primary suite offers a true retreat with a custom California Closets walk-in, a cast iron soaking tub, travertine floors, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and multiple access points to the surrounding porches where coastal breezes move effortlessly through the home. The third floor adds three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing ample room for family and guests. A whole house generator with its own in-ground tank adds peace of mind, while the oversized lot continues to deliver privacy and ample parking, a rarity in this area. An exterior elevator lift adds everyday convenience. Located just minutes from Cap's on the Water, Aunt Kate's, Reefs, and Lynda's at the Ocean Club, this home is also near Publix and just around the corner from the beach. Offered fully furnished, it presents a seamless move-in-ready opportunity. This is a property that delivers space, lifestyle, and flexibility in one of Vilano Beach's most sought-after settings.
