About This Home

Welcome to island living in the gated Makarios community, perfectly positioned in the heart of St. Augustine Beach. This ground-floor, single-level condo offers 1,544 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space with no stairs, a quiet preserve setting, and an ideal blend of comfort, privacy, and coastal convenience. Inside, the home is truly turnkey. Fresh interior paint, brand-new carpet, tile flooring in the main living areas, new blinds and screens, and all new stainless steel, high-end appliances - never used - create a crisp, move-in-ready feel. The kitchen features light-colored real wood cabinetry, new hardware, updated fixtures, and flows seamlessly into the open living and dining areas. A flex office/den provides versatile space for working from home, guests, or hobbies. The primary suite is spacious and private, offering direct access to the screened lanai, a walk-in closet, a soaking jacuzzi tub, and a large walk-in shower. Both bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed, including new toilets, updated fixtures, and a new vanity and lighting in the guest bath. Additional upgrades include a brand-new HVAC system, new ceiling fans, new light fixtures, and a brand-new washer and dryer. Enjoy peaceful mornings and evenings on the screened lanai overlooking the preserve, providing privacy, greenery, and no road noise - a rare feature this close to the beach. The home also includes a single-car garage, perfect for parking, storage, or beach gear. Makarios is known for its resort-style amenities, including two community pools (one heated), a jacuzzi, and gated access, all within walking distance to the beach, the fishing pier, restaurants, grocery stores, and local shops. The building’s roof has been recently replaced, and the community is located within the A-rated R.B. Hunt school district. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, second home, or coastal retreat, Makarios delivers the lifestyle St. Augustine Beach is known for - high and dry, beautifully updated, quiet, and just steps from the ocean. **Some photos have been virtually staged and enhanced.
