WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE HOME
This home is so spectacular it has been featured in the photo journal “Tidewater Amelia” and in the May 2018 edition of The Islander magazine. This amazing home is located only one block from the Tiger Point Marina, one block from the Amelia River, two blocks from the historic Fort San Carlo site, in the oldest Spanish Platted neighborhood in the country. Only blocks from the Fort Clinch state park with miles of undeveloped shore line, and blocks to the public beaches of Amelia Island!
Let them know you saw it on Old House Life!
