Property Description
Welcome to 115 Ferdinand Avenue, a solidly built concrete block home in Davis Shores—one of St. Augustine’s most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods. With marsh views, glimpses of the iconic St. Augustine Lighthouse, and an extraordinary natural setting, this home offers a side of island living that few properties can match. Designed for comfortable living and entertaining, the open floor plan features a spacious kitchen, wood flooring, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Soaring windows fill the great room with natural light while framing views across the marsh to the Lighthouse beyond. Step through to the expansive 10' x 27' deck overlooking the marsh—an incredible extension of the living space and the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or cocktails as the sun goes down. The three-bedroom layout offers wonderful flexibility and multiple opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The upstairs primary suite opens to its own private deck, while one of the two downstairs guest bedrooms enjoys a separate porch. A convenient service kitchen with a refrigerator and sink is located near the downstairs bedrooms, creating an especially welcoming and functional space for overnight guests or extended family. But perhaps the best-kept secret of this home is what happens at dusk. As the Lighthouse beacon begins to sweep across the marsh, the landscape can come alive with an ever-changing array of colorful coastal birds. Adjacent to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm's renowned rookery, the area is a destination for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers. Depending on the season, Great and Cattle Egrets, Tri-colored and Great Blue Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks, White Ibises and other native and migratory birds may gather nearby—all part of the remarkable view from your windows and decks. And then there is the location. From Ferdinand Avenue, walk to favorite neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops, stroll to the Bridge of Lions for a spectacular sunset, or continue across the bridge into historic downtown St. Augustine. Bike to Anastasia State Park for the beach, swimming, surfing, fishing and watersports, or walk to nearby Conch House Marina when the water is calling. It's an exceptional blend of coastal living, nature, convenience and the unmistakable character of St. Augustine. A five-year-old roof, new water heater and paver driveway complement the enduring quality of this concrete block home. Whether enjoying coffee overlooking the marsh, watching the birds arrive at dusk, heading downtown for dinner, or biking to the beach, 115 Ferdinand offers a lifestyle—and a view—that is distinctly St. Augustine.
