Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Step into the foyer and be greeted by original heart pine floors and staircase, lovingly preserved during the home's top-to -bottom renovation in 2019. To your right, a formal sitting room opens to a sunlit dining area, both overlooking the open -concept chef's kitchen, complete with modern finishes and thoughtful design. On the left, the family room flows easily into the main dining and kitchen spaces. A half bath, storage room, and mudroom entrance complete the first floor. Step outside to your private retreat: a fully fenced backyard designed for both entertaining and leisure. Completed in 2020, the space features low-maintenance artificial turf, a bocce ball court, stone seating areas and a deliciously inviting pool. Practice your short game on the custom putting green, or simply unwind under the Florida sky. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms share a full bath, while a spacious junior suite includes its own private bathroom with a walk-in shower. At the east end, the primary suite offers a tranquil sanctuary with two balconies, a private sitting area, peeks of the Matanzas River, and a generous bathroom featuring a modern clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. This is more than a home - it's a legacy, a lifestyle, and a chance to live in one of St Augustine's most treasured neighborhoods.

- Public Remarks
- Historic elegance meets modern living on Water Street. It's not often a house like this comes available - a thoughtfully renovated 1872 residence in the heart of St Augustine's coveted Abbott Tract. Located on this picturesque street, the two-story residence offers the perfect blend of classic charm and contemporary comfort, all just steps from the Castillo de San Marcos, downtown St Augustine, the bayfront, and the vibrant uptown district. Set on a deep lot, this home offers a gated driveway with dedicated parking. Brick steps lead you to the inviting covered front porch, where a solid antique wood door is framed by dual French doors opening to both the living room and family room.
