About This Home

As of October 2025

Four Minutes to Vilano Beach and a Ten-Minute Walk to Downtown! Perfectly positioned for a family home or an exceptional investment property, 28 Williams Street is just minutes from the beach and Publix and a short walk to St. Augustine’s vibrant coffee shops, restaurants, and shops. “The Artist’s House” is a rare gem that combines the legacy of renowned American painter Emmett Fritz with the charm of mid-century architecture. Built by Fritz in 1950, this 1,551 square foot home is perfectly situated on a large corner lot in chic uptown St. Augustine, just steps away from the historic Fountain of Youth and picturesque Magnolia Avenue one of the most photographed streets in America. A charming front porch stretches across the length of the house, offering the ideal spot to sip coffee and watch the peacocks wandering over from the Fountain of Youth. Inside, the home radiates warmth with stunning natural light and expansive windows. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining, and newly remodeled kitchen spaces. The home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, as well as a versatile study/office/den with a French door for additional flex space. The remodeled kitchen and bathrooms showcase contemporary finishes. A cozy fireplace adds an inviting touch to the living room. The home features hardwood floors, a new roof in 2024, new plumbing, new A/C in 2017, as well as an expansive attic offering plenty of storage space. The fully fenced backyard, complete with a screened-in porch and separate patio, is a lush tropical oasis offering complete privacy. With a two-car garage, one-car carport, and fenced front yard featuring a number of fruit trees, this home ensures all the parking, space, functionality, and charm you need. The property is also easily accessible to I-95 and US-1, offering a quick and convenient commute to Jacksonville or Ponte Vedra. Quiet, private, and utterly enchanting, this is your chance to own a unique piece of St. Augustine history. Discover the warmth and magic of The Artists House, where creativity and comfort meet in perfect harmony.
