26 Gilchrist Way: Charming Shearwater Home With Front & Back Porches, Dedicated Office, and Resort-Style Shearwater Amenities
Looking for a St. Augustine home with resort-style amenities, great walkability, a dedicated office space, and inviting front and back porches in a master-planned community?
Welcome to 26 Gilchrist Way, St. Augustine, FL 32092 — an inviting 1,800 sq ft home in the sought-after Shearwater community. With a rear-loaded 2-car garage, front green space, fenced backyard, private office, and access to top-tier amenities, this home gives you the comfort, convenience, and lifestyle so many buyers are searching for.
If you’ve been exploring homes with resort-style amenities in St. Augustine, this one offers both the lifestyle and the curb appeal.
Rear-Loaded Garage = Better Curb Appeal & Front Green Space
One of the first things you notice is the rear-loaded garage — a design detail that completely changes the way the home feels from the street.
Because the garage sits behind the home rather than in front, you get:
A clean, charming front elevation
A landscaped green space right out front
A more welcoming, front-porch–focused neighborhood feel
Fewer cars parked along the street
It creates an open, friendly atmosphere — the kind of place where neighbors wave, kids play, and the front porch becomes part of everyday life.
Front & Back Porches Made for Real Living
Porches are a huge part of the story here — and they add so much personality to the home.
A Welcoming Front Porch
Overlooking the front green space and sidewalks, this porch is perfect for:
Morning coffee
Evening unwinding
Chatting with neighbors
Watching life in the community
It’s the kind of spot that slows you down in all the right ways.
A Covered Back Porch for Relaxing or Entertaining
Out back, the extended covered porch connects easily to the fenced yard and rear garage area. It’s ideal for:
Grilling
Casual dinners
Relaxing in the shade
Letting pets explore the yard
Both porches are truly usable — not just decorative.
Fenced Backyard: Defined Space, Less to Maintain
The backyard is enclosed with an iron-style fence, giving you:
A defined area for pets or play
Openness that keeps the yard from feeling boxed in
A more elegant look than a typical privacy fence
And because the yard is a manageable size, you’ve got less upkeep — meaning more time to enjoy Shearwater’s amazing amenities instead of working on the lawn.
1,800 Sq Ft of Comfortable, Easy Living
Inside, the home offers a well-planned 1,800 sq ft layout — spacious enough to feel comfortable, yet simple enough to maintain without overwhelm.
You get:
3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
An open main living area with kitchen, dining, and family space all connected
A dedicated laundry room
Thoughtful storage
Finishes that make the home feel bright, clean, and easy
It’s a layout that works beautifully across many life stages.
A Dedicated Office Space — A Major Bonus
One of the standout interior features of this home is the true dedicated office — not a converted bedroom, not a nook, not a corner of the living room.
This real office space gives you:
Privacy for Zoom calls or focused work
Room for shelving, dual monitors, or creative projects
A quiet environment separated from living spaces
Flexibility for remote work, studying, hobbies, or even a future nursery
In today’s world, a dedicated office is a must-have for many buyers — and this home delivers it in a way that makes everyday life easier and more organized.
Shearwater’s Resort-Style Amenities
Shearwater is known for creating a vacation-like lifestyle right at home. Here, you’ll have access to an incredible lineup of amenities, including:
Multiple resort-style pools
Lazy river + water slide
Fitness lodge
Tennis and sports courts
Dog parks
Open green fields
Miles of walking, running, and biking trails
Community clubhouse and activity spaces
There’s always something to enjoy — and because your yard has less upkeep, you actually have time to use the amenities that make Shearwater special.
Everyday Convenience in the Heart of the CR-210 Corridor
While this home sits in a peaceful pocket of Shearwater, you’re still close to everything the CR-210 corridor provides, including:
Shopping, dining, and daily essentials
Easy access to I-95 and 9B
Quick routes to Jacksonville or historic St. Augustine
Medical offices, recreation opportunities, and major employment hubs
You get the perfect blend of calm neighborhood living with easy access to what you need.
A Rear-Loaded 2-Car Garage That Works for Real Life
The 2-car garage accessed from the alley behind the home keeps the front elevation beautiful — but it’s also incredibly functional.
You’ll love:
Covered parking for two vehicles
Extra space for storage
A cleaner street view
Easy in-and-out access
It’s one of those details you don’t fully appreciate until you live in a home designed this way.
Imagine Life at 26 Gilchrist Way
Picture this:
You start your day on the front porch as the neighborhood wakes up.
You work from your dedicated office without distraction.
You head out for a walk along Shearwater’s miles of trails.
Maybe end the week floating in the lazy river or grilling on the back porch.
And you unwind knowing your home and yard are designed to be simple, comfortable, and easy to love.
That’s the lifestyle this home makes possible.
