2612 Vista Cove Road

Description

The story of this condo begins with one incredible couple who saw nature, the Great Cross, the Historic skyline of the nation’s oldest city, and this rarely recognized Florida river, as a cause for celebration of the spontaneous spirit of life in Vista Cove, St. Augustine, and the San Sebastian River. Very close to service and American pride, they are reluctantly letting this go. A wall of windows and a glassed-in patio are center stage in your joyous entrance into 2612 Vista Cove Road. This double wide view of our glorious location highlights the awesome power of our area, covered by three saints: Saint Augustine, Saint John and Saint Sebastian. This nearly 1,600 sf condo moves into another dimension because of the light, the ever-changing scenery and the incredible wildlife surging past your windows Freshly painted in ‘White Glove’ and floored in a lovely sandy grey-light blue luxury vinyl wide plank flooring, one can move directly to the main attraction – the great outdoors. . While there’s a place for a big tv, who cares? Watch the real show outside! For the material world, let’s take in the nearly new kitchen with lovely new white cupboards, going almost up to the 9’ ceiling and topped with a molding top-edge. Ooh and aah over the counters done in a beautiful granite that totally accentuates the flooring and the stainless-steel appliances. The undermounted double sink is perfect for cooking and prepping, as is the large breakfast bar cum entertainment center, where one can layout hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and totally wow one’s guests. The delightful Samsung appliances – of which the Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator and the dropped in double oven/five cooker/solid top range vie for your attention. Subway tile keeps us easy-clean, while the closet pantry, sunny window with plantations shutters and another cabinet storage smartly tucked in gives even a busy family plenty of room for all the necessities. The long run of the north wall of the living/dining room area is just asking for some built-ins and fabulous finishes. Or! Just leave it as is! If you wish more ideas on how to utilize the wonderful Vista Cove spaces, please ask your Realtor to arrange a tour of homes exuding wonderful and fun examples. The glassed-in porch will be your favorite room and while the utility closet is currently un-staged, let your imagination run wild with a butler’s pantry, displays for your favorite glasses, barware, or your hide-away office, prayer closet – you name it – this is the space you’ll want to have a lot of fun with! The porch is glassed in so nicely, while there are screens ready to be inserted, you may not want to spoil the view? Many of the owners in Vista Cove use their sunrooms year-round – just keep the doors open and the fans on, and allow a little more time for the ac to settle out. It is well worth the little expense. Many of your neighbors spend most of their days and evenings in their sunrooms; with two high tides, two low tides, thirteen trains running north and south (but the sound dampened by the marsh and water), plus the dolphins, mullet, white pelicans, herons, Ibix and spoonbills, you will always be entertained and less apt to turn on the boob tube. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and two baths – guests will be comfy in their west-facing rooms with generous closets, new fans and fresh paint. Or, use one room as your office – if all of the glory outside the living room and sun room are too distracting! There’s a generous guest bath, plus linen closet, included upstairs. One might want to fight for the right to the east facing master bedroom! It’s a fabulous view of the entire skyline and gives one good reason not to give up the right to this glorious view. Highly recommended: Captain’s bed with two layers of drawers beneath the box spring and mattress. Therefore, no bureau needed – just sconces on each side of the bed. There are his and her closets with pocket doors that are just waiting for a closet maker by design to come in and make this very ooh la la! The original bathroom is what it is, but it gives you a great idea for two vanities with a shelf and drawer system in between. Redo the mirrors and lights, redo the bath and shower, new windows are ordered for the powder room. There is a lot of space in here, especially within the closest closet and the full bath – have some fun!!!! How often will you find a river front home with a skyline view in the oldest city in the nation? Not often! This is a treasure in the lovely necklace of St. Augustine – don’t let it go!
