South Street Architectural Gem

Discover the irrepressible charm of the renowned house on the corner of South and Blanco Streets, where every passerby stops to admire the architectural detail and exceptional setting. As you approach, the unique coquina block construction catches your eye, drawing you along the walkway. The expansive 32-foot front porch, an all-season “Florida room,” invites you to relax with a coffee, cocktail, or meal. It’s a versatile space perfect for entertaining, chatting with neighbors, checking messages, or simply doing nothing at all. A deep overhang keeps you dry should an errant rain shower pass by.

Step up the tabby stairs and through the beautiful front door to uncover a labor of love renovation that sets this home apart. To the left, a sunny bedroom shares a hallway bath with your dinner guests. To the right, the living room features two walls of windows, filling the space with soft, diffused natural light. The seamless flow from the living room to the dining room and kitchen ensures everyone stays connected during daily life and gatherings. The kitchen, designed for culinary enthusiasts, has seen many memorable meals. Custom cabinetry showcases your favorite glassware and dishes, while a prep island allows for collaborative cooking. Two window benches provide extra seating for your culinary consultants.

1st floor master suite at the back of the house boasts a private bath with a slipper tub. After a day adventuring in your new hometown, unwind with a soak or, if dinner plans beckon, grab a quick shower in the adjacent hall bath.

2nd floor treetop master suite is a peaceful retreat any time of day. This generous room features 2 seating areas for reading, movie-watching, or setting up a small office with a view. A dressing room is next to the master bath, and a walk-in closet is conveniently located at the top of the landing. Private bath offers a generous walk-in shower clad in marble subway tile and a classic sink perfectly suited to the space.

Outside, the back door leads to a spacious laundry/storage room. The fully fenced and landscaped yard, includes a firepit for cool evenings and ample room for a future pool or patio. The driveway accommodates 2-3 cars and the detached storage building is steeped in history.

From this coveted south Lincolnville neighborhood, it is an easy walk or bike ride to indie restaurants, live music venues, art galleries, and all the other offerings on St Augustine’s rich menu. Equally appealing as a full-time residence, weekend getaway or investment property/2nd home. The past 11 years have seen this house as a full-time high end vacation rental. Welcome – we’ll be waiting for you on the porch.
