73 Cortez Ave, St. Augustine, FL 32080

Direct, uninterrupted Intracoastal views, a refined level of custom design and curated upgrades, and an upgraded deeded boat slip come together in this residence within Cortez on the Water, where a natural connection to the water carries throughout. Thoughtfully enhanced with a high level of custom detail and finish, and complemented by a private in-unit elevator connecting each level, the home reflects a balance of elevated design, functionality, and ease.

The Intracoastal becomes a continuous presence, carried throughout the home with uninterrupted views that shape the experience at every turn. From the upper levels, the perspective opens to sky and horizon, while the rooftop terrace offers a more immersive vantage point where, on quieter evenings, the distant sound of ocean waves can be heard.

For those who prioritize time on the water, the community marina provides deep-water, navigable access to the ocean, with a deeded slip enhanced by 50-amp service, expanded 15-foot width, and three additional pilings already secured for future configuration.

Inside, the home reflects a cohesive, design-forward aesthetic shaped by extensive upgrades and carefully considered selections. Restoration Hardware lighting introduces architectural presence throughout, including a sculptural halo-style fixture above the expanded quartz island and a cascading vertical feature along the stairway that creates a soft interplay of light and texture. Upgraded flooring and refined finishes reinforce a clean, composed interior.

The top-floor living space is defined by light, proportion, and orientation, anchored by a kitchen that balances presence with precision. A premium Viking appliance package includes a professional-grade range with custom hood, dual dishwashers, and integrated beverage and coffee stations with additional refrigeration and wine storage.

The primary suite offers a quieter retreat, framed by water views and direct balcony access, and complemented by a custom-designed walk-in closet. A series of waterfront-facing balconies extends across each level, from the first through the third, each capturing expansive Intracoastal views, including one just off the kitchen and dining area where the St. Augustine Lighthouse comes into view.

The rooftop terrace introduces an additional layer of living, while elevator access to every level reinforces ease and continuity throughout. Additional features include a whole-house generator, dual EV charging stations, and tankless water heating.

Residents enjoy a private marina, waterfront pool and spa, and a setting just moments from historic downtown St. Augustine where dining, boutique shopping, and culture are part of the everyday landscape-as well as the beaches of Anastasia and Anastasia State Park, creating a lifestyle defined by both access and atmosphere.

This is a residence where perspective, design, and access come together, offering a refined and complete waterfront living experience.
