Description:

Offered to market by only the second owner in over a century, this home along with her sisters on either side has enjoyed a front row seat during the growth of our beloved city. The first family spanned two long generations of residency making a steady stream of improvements to create a lower maintenance program so leisure time can be dedicated to the pleasures of downtown living. Current owners added their fair share and you can indulge in an interior update to bring this Victorian up-to-date.

The porch and front rooms up and down enjoy an unobstructed view of one of St Augustine’s most famous domes and sitting on the porch is just as enjoyable now as it was in the late 1800s. The interior would love to have original detail restored or undergo a renovation making this townhouse-style city dwelling suited to today’s lifestyles. As you enter, a large living room runs down the east side and offers two generous seating areas – one with a fireplace, the other with great wall space for your media room. Graceful French doors open to the screened side porch where you might a catch a bit of breeze from the nearby Matanzas River. A central dining room with bay window alcove is tucked between kitchen and living for easy flow. At the back of the house, the kitchen could be opened up a bit during the remodel and it has a full bath and laundry room on the east side. A small kitchen porch with storage room leads to the carport so you and your groceries stay dry no matter the weather.

Upstairs a large bedroom and separate office look south facing the street. A hall bath is at the top of the stairs and is currently shared by all three bedrooms. The center bedroom has an adjoining door to the front room so there are a couple of options to create an en-suite master. Combine office and front room or join the adjoining bedrooms – you decide. The final bedroom is at the back and is the smallest of the three. All rooms have great windows for natural light. The greenspace in the backyard has equal parts of sun and shade so there’s room for gardening and entertaining. It’s large enough for a gathering of friends and when you live downtown, expect to be the host!

The wide driveway between #42 and #44 is shared by legal agreement and this arrangement has run smoothly since its inception long ago. Carrera Street is known for its lovely late 19th century architecture on the north side. Great restaurants, live music, art everywhere – and you can walk to all of it!
