18 River Rd Saint Augustine, FL 32084

Tucked off the street in the middle of a 162' deep lot surrounded by mature trees, this spring green cottage lives larger than it looks. Diffused natural light illuminates the 980SF interior making the wood floors gleam in the sunshine. A 24' wide covered porch overlooks the shady front yard and is ready for Adirondack chairs and rockers for lazy afternoons. Step inside and the living/dining room opens up in front of you with a cozy alcove on the east side. 2nd bedroom is off the living room and has a small sitting area or micro office nook. This bedroom has private access to a new bathroom with a wall of built-in shelves for handy "in-your-face" storage along with a walk-in shower clad in white subway tile. An efficient kitchen is next to the utility room and both have potential for more storage space. The large bedroom (master) is at the back of the house and enjoys a covered porch facing east for morning light with your coffee.
