Pelican's Paradise | Team Joseph Ellen

Summary:

Welcome to your charming poolside retreat at the base of the Bridge of Lions! This home draws you in with its inviting presence: a large front yard, friendly sidewalks, and a spacious front porch flanked by bespoke lion statues and an iconic old tree that exude timeless charm. Located in St. Augustine, this home places you in one of the most popular, vibrant communities in Florida. It's truly a blend of comfort, beauty, and just a short walk over the Lions Bridge into downtown.



The Space:

The front bedroom is an airy haven with windows nearly at every corner, filling the room with light and offering an en-suite bath that also connects to the hall for easy access. The primary suite is a true retreat, with an electric fireplace, a cozy sitting nook, and windows that pour in sunlight. Slide open the barn doors to enter the expansive primary bath, with new fixtures and a refined touch that invites relaxation.



The third bedroom serves as a versatile space, ready to be your study, workout room, or a place to unwind. Step outside, and you’ll find an upgraded tropical paradise. A luxury pool with cascading water features is surrounded by fresh landscaping, meandering pavers, and a Hot Tub. A bonus firepit area under a mature tree makes for cozy nights, enhanced by a custom mural by famed Florida artist David Nackashi.
