Gather peace of mind and ground your soul to the crashing waves just minutes away. POOL HOME, walking distance to the beach, views of both the ICW and Historic Downtown St. Augustine. Welcome to 186 Surfside Avenue in the HEART of Vilano Beach, where vibrant artistry, rich history, and authentic charm fill the soul. Originally built in the 1920s, this coastal-chic cottage was completely reimagined in 2013, albeit keeping the original footprint and charm. The home is positioned perfectly on a beautiful and private corner lot with ample parking and lush vegetation/landscaping. The inside boasts a functional and open living concept where the kitchen, living space, and dining room all blend seamlessly together. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a loft space that functions as a great reading nook or extra bedroom. As much as you will love the floor-plan inside, the outdoor space is truly in a league of its own. Revel in the sea and sun: Take a dip or relax by the pool, enjoy an aperol spritz in the custom-built cabana or catch the sunset over the Intracoastal from the South deck. There's a magic unique to Vilano, where the splendor of nature blends with a lifestyle of casual sophistication. Take advantage of the spacious detached garage for your car and beach toys, along with the oversized driveway for additional parking. This home boasts the lifestyle, functionality, and amenities to make it your own personal oasis. Every Summer has a story: make this one a tale of adventure you tell again and again. On top of a complete remodel in 2013, the most recent upgrades since 2022 include a metal roof, bamboo wood flooring, wraparound deck, water heater, refrigerator, freshly painted, and a new grinder pump for the sewer system. This home is move-in-ready and would make for a fantastic income-producing property as a luxury vacation rental or a wonderful primary/second home residence.
