3096 COASTAL HIGHWAY ST AUGUSTINE FL 32084 MLS #FC319445

For more than 35 years, this oceanfront property has been the backdrop for generations of family memories, with the beach serving as an extension of the backyard. Now, the time is ripe for a new owner with their own vision to create a own coastal haven, whether as a private family retreat, an income-producing investment or a combination of both. Located at 3096 Coastal Highway, this legally zoned duplex is centrally positioned on a deep 275-foot lot, leaving ample space for the addition of a pool, expansive decking and outdoor entertaining areas to be enjoyed nearly all year-round. The upper-level residence serves as the primary living space and is accessed through a large foyer. A generous kitchen overlooks the dining and living areas, all oriented toward inviting vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. Large windows fill the home with natural light, and nearly every room enjoys a water view. The living room and primary bedroom open through sliding glass doors to an expansive deck spanning the width of the home. No better place to greet the sun and ocean breeze with morning coffee in hand. From here, a private boardwalk leads across the lawn directly to the sand and surf. The guest bedroom and bath are situated off the dining area, providing privacy and separation from the primary suite. Additional conveniences include a dedicated laundry closet and a small front porch where two can watch the brilliant sunset skies. The first-floor apartment features a private entrance on the north side of the home. Its open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area extends to a covered patio through sliding glass doors. Two bedrooms share a full bath, and the unit includes its own laundry room, making it well-suited for guests, extended family, or rental income. For buyers seeking a single-family configuration, the home’s layout naturally lends itself to multi-generational living, with distinct spaces that offer both
togetherness and privacy. A single-car garage provides valuable storage or sheltered parking for your beach vehicle and recreational gear. Just ten blocks from the heart of Vilano Beach, residents enjoy convenient access to the area’s vibrant commercial district, featuring restaurants, shops, live music venues, hotels and a major grocery store. A short drive across the bridge leads to the historic charm of St. Augustine, where renowned dining, shopping, cultural attractions and exploration of historic sites await. Whatever your intended use or uses might be, this oceanfront duplex offers versatile options to explore. Just don’t forget your straw hat!
