74 Dumas St Saint Augustine, FL 32084

Innovative and exciting, this stand-alone ''row'' house would be right at home in urban locales around the globe. Built in 2004 with a nod to traditional homes around it, the contemporary features subtly present themselves one after another and it quickly becomes clear the designer is an artist. Fenced for maximum privacy, the gate opens to an aluminum stairway plus the 1st floor entrance. Two distinct spaces up and down, the use is as flexible as you need and want and you can mix it up easily. Every piece of cabinetry you see was made by the artist/owner on the main floor of this house. Industrial garage doors were for the purpose of moving large pieces in and out and they lend an architectural texture to smooth white walls, strategic windows, 14' ceilings and black basalt tile. Just under 1,000SF, the space has been workshop, living area with bedroom, bath and gathering room, office and studio. The geometric configuration downstairs creates natural rooms or one large organic canvas to fill in as you desire. A wall of glass looks out to the tranquil yard where an Ipe deck is surrounded by a finely graveled courtyard and shaded by a stand of bamboo. Designed by the owner, the 8' fence assures privacy on all sides and makes its own statement. Take the interior spiral or the outside stair and discover a grownup tree-house. Colorful one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture and cabinetry line the walls of the kitchen, dining and media room. Please experience every piece of this original art that will make daily living a joyful thing. Sheltered by the same bamboo, the deck is an outdoor living room. A Japanese tub with waterfall faucet and sunflower shower head washes away the cares of the day. Diffused light illuminates the master through a series of 12" windows and a private porch is an intimate place to start and end the day. Closets, drawers and cubbies dressed in the softest blue line one wall. There's nothing like it - an original with no substitute. Make it yours.
