96 Bruen St Saint Augustine, FL 32084

Welcome to a 1924 cottage with serious style—where historic St. Augustine charm meets a designer’s modern eye. Located just minutes from downtown (just an 8-minute bike ride to coffee shops, restaurants, galleries, and nightlife), this thoughtfully remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath home delivers character you simply can’t replicate in new construction. Owned and curated by designers, the home has an Instagram-worthy aesthetic that blends vintage charm with clean, modern upgrades. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, rich wood paneling, and a graceful arched doorway create a warm, creative space full of personality. Wood and tile flooring run throughout, giving the home a timeless, cohesive look. The kitchen is a standout design moment, where vaulted ceilings with exposed original wood beams are beautifully juxtaposed with sleek, industrial stainless-steel cabinetry. A large island and brand-new appliances make the space perfect for both cooking and gathering. A dedicated dining room adds extra room for hosting, while the oversized laundry room brings everyday convenience. The bathroom is equally striking—featuring the original clawfoot tub set within a dramatic wet-room design, wrapped in moody green 4x4 tile from floor to ceiling. The result is a bold yet timeless blend of vintage character and modern spa-like style. Major upgrades provide peace of mind, including a brand-new metal roof, brand-new HVAC system, updated plumbing, and a water heater installed in 2025. Outside, front and back decks offer inviting places to relax or entertain, while the large fenced backyard provides plenty of space for gardening, pets, outdoor gatherings, or future expansion. With its designer aesthetic, historic character, modern upgrades, and unbeatable location near downtown St. Augustine, this move-in-ready cottage is perfect as a primary home, weekend retreat, or investment opportunity.
