22 Pearl St, Saint Augustine, FL 32084

Craving a cool place to live within walking/biking distance to a favorite local restaurant, neighborhood corner bar, brewery, other indie offerings and all without breaking the bank? Or, are you seeking an affordable investment property with nightly rental zoning? Welcome to 22 Pearl St with its laidback cottage look and unexpectedly contemporary interior. I love walking into the wide open living, dining and kitchen under a vaulted ceiling, with natural light streaming through the sliders. This generous area allows for one or two seating spots, expansive wall space for flat screen and art plus an easy flow to the patio. Kitchen runs along two walls with white upper cabinets and sage cabinets and drawers below. Ample storage for everything you need within easy reach, lots of counterspace for prep and a pantry closet too. While there's a perfect place for a table inside, it's likely you'll be enjoying grilling and dinner on the private patio just off the kitchen. White vinyl fence provides wonderful privacy so you can start the day out here with coffee and a sunrise songbird serenade and end it with a cocktail as the moon rises overhead. Bedrooms are off the center hallway. Both guest rooms are on the east side and share an update bathroom. En-suite main bedroom is in the southwest corner overlooking the backyard. Private bath has a large shower with subway tile and glass doors while oversized vanity offers welcome storage. This generous sleeping room will easily handle a king-size bed with room for additional furniture. Bedrooms #2 and 3 are comfortably sized - you can make a flex office/guest room and still have one left over for guests. Originally a carport, owners converted it to a garage with laundry room. Get one car off street and still have room for bikes, boards and kayaks. Check out the fully fenced big backyard with a handy storage shed tucked in a corner. Enjoying equal parts of sunshine and shade, the outdoor space is ready for gardening, a hammock or two and a happy place for your 4-legged family members. Long driveway can hold two average cars off street in addition to the garage so you meet the parking requirements for vacation rentals if that is your intended use. The neighborhood enjoys mature tree canopy producing welcome shade in summer. Roof from 2022 and HVAC from 2017 - sweet! From your front door it's a five minute ride or slightly longer hike to Buena Onda - a favorite local restaurant, St Augustine Refillery which is full of delicious, nutritious and healthy offerings, Bog Brewery and a new neighborhood corner bar and that's the short list. Less than a mile to the east, the downtown historic and commercial district is also ready to be explored. Welcome to West City....
