Description of 890 A1a Beach Boulevard 8, St. Augustine - MLS# 2155714
Experience the very best of St. Augustine Beach in this beautifully updated, ocean-block, two-story townhouse-style condominium nestled within the highly sought-after Sea Winds community. Offering the privacy of no neighbors above, the convenience of an attached private garage, and the flexibility of short-term rentals, this is a rare opportunity to own a true turnkey coastal retreat just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a lock-and-leave second home, or an investment property, this home offers an exceptional combination of lifestyle, comfort, and peace of mind. Thoughtfully designed with a desirable two-story floor plan, the layout provides an ideal separation between the living and sleeping areas, creating privacy and functionality for both owners and guests. The open-concept main level seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, where quartz countertops, custom gray cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy fireplace create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. Peaceful lagoon and fountain views provide a beautiful backdrop from the living area, while multiple private balconies invite you to enjoy refreshing ocean breezes, morning coffee, outdoor dining, or relaxing after a day at the beach. The spacious two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout has been extensively updated, including a complete renovation of the upstairs full bath and downstairs powder room in 2026, taken down to the studs and rebuilt with designer tile, shiplap accents, new vanities, sinks, toilets, plumbing fixtures, lighting, ventilation fans, and upgraded shower hardware with a handheld showerhead. Beyond the cosmetic improvements, one of the home's greatest strengths is the extensive investment made in the systems and infrastructure, providing buyers with confidence and minimizing future maintenance. Additional improvements include a full plumbing repipe completed in 2026, HVAC system replaced in 2022, hot water heater replaced in 2021, washer, dryer, and dishwasher replaced in 2025, an Ecobee smart Wi-Fi thermostat, Yale smart lock with Airbnb integration, and a garage keypad for effortless owner and guest access. Nearly all linens, household essentials, and guest-ready items have also been recently refreshed, making ownership and guest turnover exceptionally easy. The attached private garage is a true rarity for beachside condominiums, offering secure parking along with valuable storage for surfboards, bicycles, golf carts, beach gear, and all your coastal essentials. Offered substantially furnished, with most furnishings, beach equipment, and household items included (subject to the final agreed-upon inclusion list), this residence is truly move-in ready and perfectly positioned for immediate enjoyment or continued rental success. Sea Winds is one of St. Augustine Beach's most desirable communities, offering a quiet, beautifully maintained, and family-friendly atmosphere with private gated beach access via a dedicated boardwalk, a community pool and hot tub, newly renovated tennis and pickleball courts, scenic lagoons, and lush landscaping that create a true resort-style setting. The HOA further enhances the low-maintenance lifestyle by covering internet, cable, exterior insurance, professional management, lawn and landscape maintenance, security gate and beach access maintenance, pool amenities, and trash service. Perfectly located in the heart of St. Augustine Beach, you're just a short walk to the beach, Anastasia Plaza, Publix, First Watch, Starbucks, Bronx Pizza, local restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, while Historic Downtown St. Augustine is only minutes away. What truly sets this home apart is the effortless lifestyle it provides--spend your mornings on the beach, afternoons enjoying the community amenities, and evenings dining nearby, all while knowing the major improvements have already been completed. Rarely does a property combine an unbeatable location, thoughtful floor plan, extensive recent upgrades, an attached garage, resort-style amenities, turnkey convenience, and exceptional versatility for full-time living, a vacation retreat, or investment ownership into one complete package.
