50 E San Carlos Ave Saint Augustine, FL 32084

Tucked away just off our beloved tree-lined Magnolia Ave, 50 E San Carlos Ave is a treasure awaiting your discovery. Enjoying a southern exposure, the front patio is just the spot to greet the day with morning coffee while you plan the day's adventure. The house started its life as a double garage with carriage house above but over the years evolved into the versatile residence offered today. A reverse floor plan offers bedroom, bath, laundry, sitting room and separate office downstairs. Upstairs a Florida room overlooks the backyard. Sunny living and dining room enjoy natural light from 3 sides and views of nearby treetops. Honey-hued wood floors complement the neutral color palette upstair and there's ample wall space to display your art. The Florida room spans the width of the house and the present owner has her office and reading nook here. An outdoor stairway leads down to the covered patio and courtyard. Classically clad in black and white, the kitchen is another bright space where you can flex your culinary muscle as you please. En-suite master faces east and south - a cozy nest at the end of each day. An avid gardener, the outdoor space is important to the owner and she has made a veritable oasis in the back yard. A covered patio and large courtyard span the width of the house with a beautiful wooden screen and potting table providing a privacy buffer. A well keeps everything watered (and this water is free!) so let your green thumb go wild. The west side yard has citrus trees and an abundance of sunshine while the east side yard is actually a separate lot should you desire to expand, build a garage or consider a new house in the future - always nice to have options. From front door to the closest beach is 5 minutes by car and it's a pleasant walk down shady Magnolia Ave to discover the uptown commercial district along San Marco Ave with a host of eateries and cool shops. Downtown central is a little further south so pack your walking shoes!
