Craving a quiet spot to call home? A piece of land large enough to stretch your arms or throw a frisbee to your dog? Something colorful with personality instead of beige and cookie-cutter? Well! This may be just the place. Elkton offers the best of peaceful country living only 15-minutes outside of downtown St Augustine so you can make a joyful noise and then go home and watch the stars sparkle against the night sky. Come up the long drive flanked by trees and slowly the house comes into view. But first you'll pass a playhouse or shed and then a 1-car garage plus carport appear as you circle around the driveway to the house. Soon the two bougainvilleas will begin to bloom along the flagstone path to the front porch - a burst of tropical color to greet you every day. Once inside you'll find the 2nd bedroom and the hall bath straddling the center hallway. Another few feet ahead and the great room opens up with lofty ceiling two stories high and large windows looking over the tree-lined back yard. A wood-burning fireplace will have you longing for chilly nights. Expansive wall space allows for several furniture groupings and room for art display and media equipment. Newly renovated, the kitchen has Shaker-style wood cabinetry and a rich earth-tone granite complementing a copper farm sink. A serious pantry and laundry room allow for easy multitasking and abundant storage. 2nd floor is all master, including open sitting room, sun deck, bathroom and huge loft-style bedroom. Screened pool is big enough for laps and attached sun room extends living space outdoors. There's a play set for the wee ones, a brick BBQ for the grillers and it's all fenced in for 4-legged family members. Walk down a bit to the cottage and contemplate the guest list. A sweet studio with full kitchen and bathroom, it won't lack for company. With 1.46 acres, there is room for outdoor play or more outbuildings for your hobbies. Dappled sunlight through the trees is an antidote for what ails you.
