This sophisticated residence pairs high-end upgrades with expansive water views across all three levels and the private rooftop terrace, complemented by a premium upgraded deeded boat slip and a curated collection of custom finishes that reflect a refined approach to coastal living.The Intracoastal serves as a striking backdrop throughout the home, with uninterrupted waterfront views shaping the experience from nearly every vantage point. A private in-unit elevator services all 4 levels, while high-end custom details and designer finishes bring together sophisticated design, functionality, and comfort.The rooftop terrace creates an entirely different perspective, with sweeping views extending across the water, sky, and horizon. On quieter evenings, even the distant sound of waves along the Atlantic can be heard-a subtle reminder of just how closely connected this residence is to the coast. For those who value life on the water, the community marina provides deep-water, navigable access to the Intracoastal and Atlantic Ocean. The residence includes an upgraded deeded boat slip featuring 50-amp electrical service, an expanded 15-foot width, and an additional piling to secure a larger vessel. To further personalize the residence, the seller is offering a $14,000 credit at closing, which may be applied toward interior painting or used toward other buyer-selected improvements. From mornings overlooking the Intracoastal to evenings on the rooftop and days spent on the water, 473 Cortez Avenue offers a distinctly St. Augustine waterfront lifestyle-designed around the views, the marina, and the freedom to enjoy the coast from home.
