5577 Pelican Way Saint Augustine, FL 32080

Tucked away at the south end of Pelican Way, this beachside house is ready for new owners. Used as a long-term rental for the past decade, it's time for renovation and repair needed to turn it into a residence for modern living. A covered front courtyard has the potential to be a sweet spot to greet you when you come home. The tiled foyer has room for furniture and opens to the stairway with a hall branching off to the right where you can also enter from the single-car garage. Downstairs you'll find a generous bedroom with walk-in closet and a 3/4 bath across the hall. A large utility room with laundry chute has plenty of space for additional storage and there's another room at the back of the house which could be used as an overflow guest room (needs a closet) or an office if you need peace and quiet to concentrate. Upstairs is wide open with a large gathering and dining room spanning the width of the house. There's great ceiling height and architectural woodwork to complement the space. Doors open to a small deck with a great ocean view to the southeast. The compact kitchen works well for a single cook and the economy of motion will be appreciated as everything is within easy reach. A hall bath accommodates dinner guests and the small guestroom as well. The en-suite master takes up the southwest corner of the house. In addition the bedroom with its single vault ceiling, there's a full bath plus an office/sitting room which opens to the side deck. Besides the open patio up front, there's really not much yard to worry about and when you have the beach so close, yard work is not something you're going to miss. The driveway's large enough to get your cars off the street and the single garage can take a vehicle or all your beach toys. You can see the beach access from the yard and it's an easy walk to the sea. Remember: there are some projects needed inside and out to put the bloom back on the rose, but if it suits your fancy, roll up your sleeves and come on over.
