    What's special

    Private courtyard settingSeparate half bathLight bright coastal homeSpectacular remodeled sunroomOverlooking the icwLarge dining roomUpdated en suites
    Historic, Stunning, Magical. Just a few ways to describe this amazing residence in downtown Saint Augustine. Pristine and polished with detailed craftmanship and custom designs. Built in the late 1800’s, this unique Mediterranean style masterpiece overlooking the ICW has been extensively renovated inside and out. As you walk through the gates into your private courtyard setting that provides a relaxing oasis with lush landscaping and expansive wood ceiling covered patios. This house has water views from nearly every room. A chef style kitchen with custom cabinets, Viking appliances and a butler pantry with wine fridge offers loads of storage. A large dining room and great room with a fireplace are located off the kitchen. A spectacular, remodeled sunroom allows even more natural light to shine into this light, bright, coastal home. A first-floor guest room with ensuite, and a separate half bath ensures privacy for your guests. A large laundry room with custom cabinets and pantry add even more storage. Upstairs you will find three oversized bedrooms with 12-foot ceilings and all have updated en suites. The detached studio/office over the garage is the perfect complement to this waterfront paradise. This property has undergone extensive renovations and thoughtful upgrades including the installation of one of the most effective flood prevention systems in all of Saint Augustine. This advanced system with on-site generator has consistently protected the home during major weather events, providing rare peace of mind in a historic waterfront setting. Additional parking was added to the property off Marine Street alongside the garage. The property is stunning and the house is impressively breathtaking.
