1865 Hometown Drive

Some homes ask you to slow down the moment you arrive. This one starts with a Southern front porch, adorned with a classic haint-blue ceiling, designed for exactly that. Set on a quiet street in Amelia Park, one of Amelia Island's true walkable neighborhoods, this 2022 coastal-style home pairs classic architecture with the comfort of newer construction. Downtown Fernandina, shops, restaurants, and the beach are all just minutes from home. Inside, 2,311 sqft unfolds beneath 10' ceilings, with coastline oak cotton flooring, upgraded lighting, and a layout that lives exceptionally well, opening naturally into the dining and living areas, anchored by a shiplap fireplace that adds warmth. At it's heart, the kitchen features quartz counters, a generous island with prep sink, 5-burner gas cooktop, stainless appliances, built-in oven and microwave. The secluded main-level primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, upgraded en suite bath, and an adjoining office that makes a statement with Monkey 47 "Wunderbar" wallpaper imported from Germany, built-in cabinetry, and shelving. The main level laundry room has been completely upgraded with custom cabinetry, sink, and quartz counters. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, while a cozy loft creates a flexible second living space. Outside embraces easy coastal living, with a fenced side courtyard, covered lanai, and established yard framed by citrus and banana trees, outdoor shower, and landscape lighting. The detached, alley-loaded 2-car garage and paver parking pad preserve the classic streetscape. A WHOLE-HOUSE GENERAC GENERATOR, water softener, tankless water heater, and Tesla charger add everyday ease. Homes with this level of character and finish don't come up often.
