The story
- Pool
Located a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, this single-story 2015 pool home backing onto a pond in Ocean Breeze at Amelia pairs easy one-level living with the outdoor Florida lifestyle that draws so many to Amelia Island. A stacked-stone entry and double glass doors open to 2,512 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, where 12-foot ceilings and transom windows fill every room with natural light. A formal dining room with wainscoting sits off the foyer, and a private home office with glass pocket doors and built-in bookshelves offers a quiet place to work. The open kitchen features a large island with farmhouse sink, double wall ovens, a gas range updated in October 2026, a beverage refrigerator and generous cabinet and counter space, all open to the family room. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private en-suite bath, the primary suite adds dual vanities, a soaking tub and walk-in shower, and a powder room off the kitchen serves guests. Out back, the covered lanai opens to one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, where a pool and hot tub are wrapped in a travertine deck, framed by tall hedges. Recent updates include a freshly painted exterior in November 2025 and a new Rinnai tankless water heater, and the 2.5-car garage leaves room for beach gear, bikes or a golf cart. Ocean Breeze offers a shaded community park with a pergola and swings, and from here the beaches of Amelia Island are about a mile away, the Amelia River-to-Sea Trail is nearby, historic downtown Fernandina Beach is a quick golf cart ride, and Jacksonville International Airport is about 40 minutes by car. Pool days, beach mornings and dinners downtown can all be part of an ordinary week.
