A quick bike to the beach or walk to downtown. Location perfect. Condition immaculate. Luxury unlimited!
Three spacious floors of well-planned open living space create a great flow and room for friends and family to gather without ever feeling crowded. The first floor has a bedroom and bathroom besides the stunning entryway to the home. Bedrooms on the 2nd floor also provide a nice quiet area in which to rest and slumber. Third floor living area is open and airy, bright and light and the decks on the 2nd and 3rd floors are fabulous for enjoying a breath of fresh salt sea air while enjoying your evening libation. A walk out on the dock make this the best space to enjoy your incredible views of sunrise, sparkling waterways in your wonderful location and accompanying breezes just off the water. Glorious moments will be spent here when you are not out enjoying the rest of fantastic St Augustine Florida, the Nation's oldest city Water's Edge at Cortez is located in the exclusive Cortez community. Cortez is located in the well sought after neighborhood of Davis Shores, the first section of the island that was settled. Rich in history and surrounded by the river, ocean, and bay, the views are outstanding, breezes bountiful, parks and historic sites plentiful. Cortez is located steps from the well-known Conch house marina which has a restaurant, docks, boat rentals & fuel, and several cocktail bars. The restaurant offers tiki style huts which are fun to dine in as they sit out above the water offering fabulous views. The Cortez community is a quick walk to historic downtown where you will cross the famous Bridge of Lions and find yourself transported back in time to days of old with horse and buggies on cobblestone streets and beautiful ancient architecture. The city is well preserved and there are a plethora of shops and restaurants to enjoy there. Art lovers will enjoy all of the amazing galleries with a wonderful mix of local artisans and world-famous artists. Back on the island you are walking distance to the old lighthouse which still shines today. Take a big breath and walk up to the top. It is a bit of a climb, however the views are well worth the effort. The 360 views will astound you and absolutely take your breath away! You have a selection of beaches to enjoy. From Cortez, the state park beach will be the closest. There is a small fee to enter, however you will find restrooms, a restaurant and other options such as sunfish and kayaks to rent. No dogs allowed on this beach. Next is Anastasia Island beach with volleyball courts and a water play section for small children. This is right next to the pier which is great for just walking or fishing. There is a small fee for the pier, but all the rest is free.
