1050 Bella Vista Blvd, Unit 202

Life at Las Palmas is all about casual living surrounded by the scenic beauty of marsh and water views, welcome shade trees plus a host of recreational opportunities inside this gated condominium community inside the city limits. The 1050 building is tucked away on the south edge - a 5-minute stroll to the community center where you can cool off in the marshside pool and air dry on the sun deck. Unit 202 has the best of the 2/2 floorplans - great privacy with split sleeping quarters, generous living space including a dining/flex room, big bedrooms, loads of storage and a detached garage with extra driveway space! Tiled foyer has a large laundry room off to one side and then wraps around to sunny dining, kitchen and living areas which flow seamlessly together. If formal dining is not your thing, this flex space can be used any way you desire. This galley kitchen has turned out many happy meals as the neighbor potluck will gladly verify. The pass-through window doubles as a breakfast bar on the other side - nice for quick meals or for friends to consult while you are cooking. Large windows invite sunshine inside and bathe the living room in natural light. Adjacent porch enjoys an eastern breeze and is a sweet spot for morning coffee and sunrises. En-suite, the main bedroom is a peaceful retreat enjoying a large space with room to spare, walk-in closet and private bath with linen closet. 2nd bedroom is adjacent to guest bath off a short hall behind living room. The owners adopted the mantra "condo is the new house," and have enjoyed their time here and the ease of locking, leaving and hitting the road when the travel bug bites. Las Palmas is a lovely place to live - ask anyone you meet walking their dog or riding their bike. The pool and spa are very inviting, and you can get your exercise with volleyball, at the fitness center and weight room or the tennis court. Point your bike south and head to the neighborhood coffee/wine bar called DOS or to Creme de la Cocoa where your sweet tooth will swoon with anticipation. Centrally located to major roadways (although you'd never know it), 2 grocery stores within minutes, nearest beach and downtown St Augustine in easy reach and it's waiting for you to discover it all.
