4325 Palmetto St

Just a block from the beach, this Vilano Oaks home captures the lifestyle that draws people to St. Augustine. Easy access to the ocean, a quiet neighborhood setting, and a backyard built to be enjoyed year-round. From the moment you arrive, the oversized paver driveway and inviting curb appeal set the tone for what’s inside. The first floor was completely remodeled in 2019, creating a fresh, functional living space with updated finishes throughout. The first floor features a well equipped kitchen with lots of cabinets, multiple living areas, a dining area, and a half bath. The layout flows naturally out to the backyard, where your private oasis awaits. The backyard features a heated saltwater pool with a spa, private outside shower, a convenient pool bath, covered seating area, and a private fire pit area perfect for those cooler evenings. This is the type of backyard that makes you never want to leave…unless you’re going to the beach that is. All four bedrooms, two full baths, and the laundry room are located upstairs, offering a practical separation between living and sleeping spaces. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet with built-ins, an ensuite bath, and a private balcony overlooking the pool. Major improvements have already been taken care of, including a new roof, soffits, and gutters (2020), two new HVAC systems (2022), and a new water heater (2021). The pool has been well maintained with a new pump (2024) and heater (2018), and the home also features a water softener and reverse osmosis system (2023). A 250-gallon buried propane tank services the grill and fireplace, and multiple systems throughout the home are smart home capable, including lighting, HVAC, pool, and security. Beyond the property itself, the location is hard to beat. You’re within walking distance to local favorites like Caps on the Water and The Reef, about half a mile to the boat ramp, and just four miles to downtown St. Augustine. Being in Flood Zone X means flood insurance is not required, which adds long-term savings and peace of mind. And with short-term rentals being prohibited in Vilano Oaks, the neighborhood maintains a quiet, residential feel with consistent pride of ownership. If you’re looking for a home near the beach that’s been well cared for, thoughtfully updated, and positioned in one of the more desirable pockets of Vilano, this is one worth seeing!
