With its muti-tiered roof, faceted exterior walls and stacked double-height windows, this home makes a dynamic and visually interesting silhouette against the sky. Set on a flat 1.26-acre lot, it's beautifully landscaped, PRIVATE and NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE, perfect for adding a pool (in as little as 50 days). Enter through a grand 14-foot foyer into a thoughtfully designed single-story layout with no carpet and 10-14 foot ceilings throughout. Straight ahead is an elegant salon, ideal for quiet relaxation or entertaining. To the right, the open-concept living area includes a spacious dining room, breakfast nook, and a well-equipped kitchen with 46-inch cabinets, granite counters, and newer appliances. Off the kitchen, you'll find a butler's pantry and a family room, cozy with a gas fireplace framed by custom built-ins. A stunning wall of windows spans the back of the house, filling the space with natural light and framing the lush backyard. The desirable split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from guest rooms. The spacious primary suite offers an ensuite bath, two large walk-ins, and dual vanities. No doubt, the layout of this quality home combines architectural delights with well planned, functional spaces that cater to modern living. Located in Amelia Bay Estates, an exclusive gated community of custom built homes, it's just 10 minutes from pristine beaches and Fernandina's historic downtown. IT IS EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND A HOME IN FERNANDINA IN A GATED COMMUNITY WITH OVER ONE ACRE OF LAND AND LESS THAN $1M.
