119 Ferdinand Ave

Surround yourself with the most beautiful views on Anastasia Island in this designer bungalow, built with the health of its occupants as top priority. Located in the highly desirable neighborhood across from the native seabird rookery, you can’t help but take a deep breath as you step out onto the expansive front porch each evening as the birds fly overhead back to their nests. Soak in unimpeded views of the marsh and the historic St. Augustine Lighthouse as you dine al fresco or in the large dining room overlooking the preserve. This home was intentionally constructed with healthy, natural materials. The interior of the home is painted with Alkemis mineral paint and Ecos Zero VOC premium paint. The floors are solid white oak (no engineered or laminate products with glues and plastics), and are sealed with natural oil. The home’s water supply runs through a whole-home filtration system, with reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. Natural stone quartzite countertops and maple butcher block span the kitchen, and overhead cedar beams accent the ceilings. Handmade zellige, terrazzo & terracotta tile round out the natural feel. The massive European-style kitchen is anchored by a large vintage prep table, perfect for planning meals & gathering with friends and family. Café appliances make cooking and cleaning a breeze. Privately located toward the back of the home, you’ll find a large living room as well as the primary bedroom with “his and hers closets” and an en suite spa-like bathroom, including a soaking tub and Kohler rainhead shower feature. Three more bedrooms are situated toward the front of the home, as well as another full bath, powder room, and laundry room. Enjoy the fenced-in yard with pesticide-free gardens, including many native and pollinator plants, as well as lush banana trees, palms, and a fruiting lemon tree. You can park your cars or boats under the house, and create the outdoor living space you’ve dreamed of with this thoughtfully elevated home. Ride your bike to nearby shops and restaurants, or check the surf at Anastasia Park, located 1 mile away. Historic downtown St. Augustine is just 2 miles away. Zoned for and walking distance to the excellent RB Hunt Elementary school.
