Beneath a sweeping canopy of mature oaks, this well maintained home offers a private garden retreat on nearly half an acre spanning five platted lots in St. Augustine South. Positioned on a spacious corner at Shamrock Road and Shore Drive, with coastal marsh just across Shore Drive and generous separation from neighboring homes, this concrete block home combines exceptional privacy with a peaceful natural setting, thoughtful updates, and room to enjoy the outdoors. Lovingly cultivated by a dedicated gardening enthusiast, the grounds feature winding garden paths, diverse plantings, beautiful flowers, fruit-bearing plants, and vegetable-growing areas. Explore your own backyard landscape, relax beneath the oaks, or imagine adding a pool with space to spare. Inside, fresh paint, hardwood floors, a fully updated kitchen with over-sized granite top island, and remodeled bathrooms create a warm, welcoming feel. The covered, screened lanai opens onto a deck with a pergola, creating an inviting outdoor retreat for morning coffee or a relaxing evening overlooking the gardens. A large two-car garage and large shed provide ample space for storage, tools, and hobbies. A 2023 roof, 2026 AC unit, and newer water heater add practical value, while a well water system serves the property. Situated in Flood Zone X.
