About This Home
As of April 2022Nestled amongst towering grandaddy Oak trees and a row of the cutest cottages, this 1930’s home is the perfect architectural blend of history and contemporary finishes. The gingerbread exterior with fish scale siding, stained glass windows, skirted crawl space, solid wood overhangs, metal roof and front porches lend to the Old Florida feel. The interior - a gorgeous & eclectic mix of tongue-and-groove, wood floors and ceramic & Saltillo tile - offers two bedrooms, office space, generous utility room and eat-in kitchen with a vaulted ceiling. The upstairs master suite is unique in design with a tall barn-style ceiling, oversized closet and a private porch overlooking a majestic, knotted Oak with Spanish moss. Equally intriguing is the private backyard - an electric gate leads down a driveway paved with historic St. Augustine bricks to the detached 16’ x 30’ oversized garage and zen garden with brick patio. There’s even a peek of Oyster Creek from the covered back porch. Whether this home is to be a full-time residence, part-time getaway or weekly vacation rental, every bit of this charming cottage near Historic Downtown symbolizes the quintessential St. Augustine Life.
