Interluxe Online Auction of Private Oceanfront Home in St. Augustine, Florida Opens Bidding on November 8th
St. Augustine, Fla. (PRWEB) October 17, 2013 -- To showcase their private oceanfront estate set among the rolling dunes of Crescent Beach, the owners of a four-bedroom, four-bathroom beach retreat are choosing to sell their home through a global online auction with Interluxe, an innovator in the luxury real estate auction segment. Bidding for the private compound, with nearly 4,000 square feet of living space, opens Friday, November 8th with a starting bid of only $500,000. The property was previously listed for $1.595 million. Interluxe is presenting this extraordinary home in partnership with Frank O’Rourke, Broker of St. Augustine Real Estate Company.
“An online auction is an efficient, transparent means for the seller to sell their property in a defined period of time. By allowing a exceptional property such as this to be sold through online auction the seller is saying to the market they are ready to sell and move on,” stated Scott Kirk, President of Interluxe. “The Interluxe platform is straightforward, secure, and easy to use. Buyers and their agents can tour the property in person and online, examine pre-provided due diligence, place bids online, and ultimately transact in a way that eliminates headaches and hassles. Best of all, buyers can bid what they think the value is and the ultimate price is determined by the market.”
Set high above the natural dune line, this exquisite residence exudes the charm of casual elegance while offering modern conveniences, solid construction, and spacious, bright rooms. The long list of features includes a top-floor master suite with panoramic ocean and Intracoastal Waterway views, an oversized soaker tub with separate dual-headed shower, plenty of closet space, and a true split-bedroom floor plan. Additional attractions include a gourmet chef’s kitchen, a first floor utility room with over 300 feet of air conditioned space including a full bath, and a three-car garage with separate, lockable storage. The wrap-around deck culminates in an expansive, ocean-view deck with direct access to the beach walkover.
Crescent Beach is an area renowned for its dazzling, yet secluded, sugar-white sand beaches, located just a short drive from St. Augustine’s historical center. Founded in September 1565 by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain, St. Augustine is the longest continually inhabited European-founded city in the United States – more commonly called the "Nation’s Oldest City” – where locals and tourists stroll the narrow lanes and enjoy dining and shopping as well as exploring the many museums and landmarks such as Castillo de San Marcos, Ponce de Leon's "Fountain of Youth," and the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse.
“Not only does the auction process create an air of excitement, but the professional team at Interluxe is providing urgency and a vast audience through their intensive marketing and extensive database,” explained Frank O’Rourke, Broker of St. Augustine Real Estate Company. “For an extraordinary oceanfront property such as this, an auction is a reliable way to set real market value and close within a designated timeframe.”
