In convenient St Augustine South & out of a special flood hazard zone, this gem of sturdy concrete block construction with low-maintenance shell dash exterior, covered gutters, irrigation well & sprinklers has a completely fenced rear yard for privacy. The cozy interior has been enhanced by wood laminate plank flooring, plantation shutters, new carpet in the primary suite, stylish new lighting fixtures, vanities & more! The flow from the great room to the eat-in kitchen is accented by the breakfast bar, with the screened lanai beyond accessed via two French doors. The front guest bedroom/den is currently used as a formal dining room but the original French doors, now on the closet (used to display china), can be reinstalled in the doorway should buyer wish to revert to bedroom use. Lovingly cared for inside and out, this home is a gem; make your appointment to view it today! Step onto the lanai with pet-proof screening to survey your private, verdant oasis of flowering trees: crepe myrtle, bottlebrush, flowering cherry, calamondin & fig, as well as a selection of lovely shrubs. Please check under the Documents tab to see all improvements and a landscape listing. There is a security system with contacts on all doors & windows, one motion detector, one keypad, one remote fob & smoke module (to detect fire) that requires a complimentary inspection & a $350 cellular communicator upgrade (to 5G) by Village Key & Alarm to be operational. Monitoring by VKA is additional. NOTE: chandelier in dining room/front bedroom and shell mirror in pictures have been removed. Detail on excluded items is in Documents. Measurements have been rounded due to MLS constraints; buyer should verify all.
