BUILDABLE LOT IN HISTORIC ST AUGUSTINE

One of a very few remaining buildable lots in the residential section of the Historic District, this 37′ x 100′ x 39′ x 99′ lot has favorable lot coverage and setbacks so you can build more than you think. Look at the building immediately north to get a sense of what can be done and then check out the attached site plan which shows just one possible option for 2-story house with detached 2-car garage. There are no impact fees to build in the City of St Augustine and water/sewer is available.

The residential part of St George Street is rich with architectural diversity and there are fine examples of a variety of design styles from the early 20th century. This Historic District does require you to follow architectural guidelines in order to preserve and promote the yesteryear era from the street. Called AGHP (Architectural Guidelines for Historic Preservation), they can be found on-line at staugustinegovernment.com. Only the exteriors are governed so you can use poetic license inside to your heart’s content. This lot backs to the courtyard wall of the National Guard located one block east on Charlotte Street.

A lovely backdrop for a garden or outdoor seating area and the NG take meticulous care of their property and grounds. Located in the middle of the middle block it’s an easy stroll to town straight down St George Street or go one block west to walk along Lake Maria Sanchez or east two blocks and enjoy the new seawall along the Matanzas River. Watch the boats traverse the Intracoastal Waterway on your way to exploring the culinary and cultural offerings located within walking distance. Call a local architect and get moving on those house plans.
