JUST UPDATED on Amelia Island, let's not ignore the obvious, this location is ridiculously good. You're less than 1.5 miles to the beach and public parking, about 4 miles to downtown Fernandina Beach, and roughly 2.5 miles to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. This home has had a serious refresh and it shows. The full interior has been professionally repainted, the kitchen has new stainless oven and microwave, fixtures and hardware have been updated, and the layout gives you the easy flow everybody wants with open living, dedicated dining space, and a front office for work, overflow guests, or whatever life is demanding this week. The kitchen features, premium cabinetry, pantry, island, and breakfast bar, so it actually works for real life and not just photos. The big-ticket items are done too, which is where this one starts separating itself from the usual pretty-on-the-surface listings. There is a new HVAC system with thermostat, new hot water heater, new fence, repaired sprinkler system, new lanai screen door, refreshed exterior paint, cleaned and painted garage and lanai areas, pressure-washed driveway and patio, and the whole house has been cleaned inside and out. There is also a convenient half bath for guests, a screened lanai, side-entry two-car garage, mature landscaping, and a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to relax, entertain, or let the dog live its best life. Bottom line, this is not one of those listings where you move in and immediately start making a repair list. The work has been done. The location is fantastic. And the lifestyle here is exactly why people want Amelia Island in the first place.
