2010 Mariposa Vista Lane, #102 St Augustine, FL 32084

It took almost 10 years of patient waiting for the owner to be in the right place at the right time to acquire this condo. It was always her favorite because of the private location at the end of the Mariposa Vista cul-de-sac with its beautiful stand of mature trees that provide shade and music when the river breeze ruffles their leaves. The front door is right next to the attached 1-car garage so this unit comes with covered parking and a second spot in its own driveway - sweet! Take the interior stairs to the second floor as this 1 bedroom/1 bath corner unit comes into view. Since this is a corner condo, you add two additional windows which provide natural light for most of the day. A lover of all things old and antique, the flat is furnished and appointed with an authentic "shabby chic" look but the canvas is blank as far as your sense of style. A generous gathering area runs from front to back, allowing for several seating areas and there's an ideal wall for your media center. The kitchen is larger than its counterpart in the other 1/1 models and opens to the main living and dining area. An island with elevated bar top makes a great cocktail station and buffet during parties and there have been many soirees held at this happy home. A small, covered porch overlooks treetops and is supremely private. Facing south, it's always a pleasant spot for coffee, tea or cocktails while you listen to the local songbirds serenade you. Bedroom is large and can hold a lot of furniture if you're worried whether everything will fit. Walk-in closet is currently a dressing room but there's ample room for conventional storage. Bathroom can be accessed from kitchen or bedroom and there is a tub/shower combination. The 1-car garage is used by the owner for hobbies and quiet space if she has guests. Washer and dryer plus additional storage are housed down here. Las Palmas is a wonderful place to live - ask a neighbor who might be walking their dog, talking a walk, heading to the clubhouse for a swim in the marsh front pool or a soak in the spa. There's are two fitness rooms with equipment and free weights and you can rustle up a game of volleyball too. A small playground for the littles and a fenced dog park for the 4-legged residents means everyone is welcome. If you play tennis, we've got you covered there too. This 1/1 with the best floorplan, garage and excellent location equal a great opportunity to outfit it to suit your design sensibilities. See you there!
