2254 Shore Drive

Description

There is a reason this home has been a favorite of so many St. Augustine South residents for decades, and seeing it in person is all the explanation you’ll need. Classically styled, this expansive ranch home (no stairs!) is situated on FOUR oversized buildable lots with an extraordinary 200’ panoramic view of the intracoastal. With a healthy 16’ elevation, this is the part of Shore Drive where the homes never flood, so you can rest easy while still enjoying the spectacular river laid out before you. The four lots can be built on, with each new home having stunning views, or you can keep the home and build a guest house and rent out (short term rentals allowed here), or just enjoy the charm of this 1958 old Florida home as it comes. Renovated in the years 2004-2007, this solid concrete block home was modernized with an open kitchen with gas stove, updated bathrooms, smooth ceilings, and an extended front porch perfect for boat and people watching along Shore Drive. HVAC 2016, blown insulation under crawl space, and original oak flooring throughout much of the home. There's a 50amp hookup and pad for your RV, space for your boat, and a large shed. Furnishings are negotiable if you want a turn-key investment. Shore Drive wanders along the riverbanks in St. Augustine South, and is one of the most beautiful streets in the county. Hanging swings, waterside benches, and little docks for fishing are all along its way, and every day you'll find friendly neighbors stopping by to chat during their walks. There are two county-owned boat ramps in the neighborhood as well, and a ton of kayaking access points. Drop a crab trap or a fishing line, or just simply watch the boats go by. No HOA, and Flood Zone X (no flood ins required).
