HISTORIC COMMERCIAL RETAIL DISTRICT

It’s a rare day when you find property in the Historic District that is in top notch condition and able to be occupied immediately without the time lag and expense of approvals, renovations and construction. You can implement your business plan in short order here. 76 Spanish Street offers two buildings connected by a covered breezeway with two restrooms in between. The front building is new and presents itself from the street as a cottage with a quintessential picket fence and graceful palms.

With just over 500SF, the space is wide open and the ample number of windows bring in natural light. The ceiling is vaulted to mimic the roof line and your industrial white duct work runs along the peak and above the white beams. The back door opens to a covered breezeway that leads to the second building where 2 ADA restrooms are accessed through the covered screened porch. This rear building dates back to 1840 or the Territorial Period. Brought back under the skilled hands of a professional skilled contractor respected for his restoration work, this building can be used for retail applications but the original thinking was to use it as a restaurant kitchen because of its equal proximity to the front building and to the deck.

The adjacent 2-story building at #74 is also offered for sale by the same owner and if your business plan requires more room or involves mixed uses, please consider them both. #74 has 730SF of conditioned ground floor commercial space with one restroom, two 1st floor porches front and back, 625SF deck and 400SF crushed oyster shell patio plus a lovely 2BR/1BA apartment with full kitchen and two additional covered porches. Keep the residence for personal enjoyment or as an adjunct to your business below. A maintenance and easement agreement allows 74 and 76 to operate independently if you wish to run different businesses in each.

HP-2 zoning allows for a number of uses and there is no parking requirement in the Historic District. A municipal metered parking lot is across the street but there is also metered street parking, private lots and the parking garage is located 3 blocks to the north. This section of the Historic District is undergoing infrastructure improvements and there is new construction underway one block north. St Augustine and its successful businesses stand on their own merit and can cater to locals, visitors and the entourage that accompanies Flagler College students and staff. Supplemental information available.

St Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, also holds the distinction of being one of the nation’s most charming. Saint Augustine is a quaint coastal town located in NE Florida. The area boasts a year-round mild climate perfect for enjoying the pristine beaches or strolling in St Augustine’s historic district, with its cobblestone streets, quaint cafes, unique shops and B&Bs. The Smithsonian listed St Augustine as one of the 20 best small towns in America in 2013.
