Sitting tall, this circa 1900 downtown residence has great presence with a stately exterior and deep front porch. A major renovation in 2010 restored the bloom back to this rose and it’s a pleasure to step across the threshold and take in the restored original detail. A large sunny foyer offers ample space for entry furniture. The generous living and dining rooms each have a fireplace set on the diagonal and enjoy 10′ ceilings. Be sure to check out the stamped tin detail in the dining room. A large tiled sun room wraps around the south side of the house with a bank of antique windows – shaped like a T, you can create two separate sitting areas or a terrific office. The kitchen spans the back of the house and overlooks the deep backyard. The traditional floor plan notwithstanding, the flow is easy and works well for gatherings of any size. The utility room and a 3/4 bath round out the main floor.
Take a moment to admire the graceful stairway in the middle of the foyer. Upstairs the gallery is wide and full of diffused sunlight. Three large bedrooms line up on the south side and the smaller bedroom in the northeast corner would make a great master bath and closet. There are abundant windows in each room and the center bedroom has a rectangular alcove looking over the drive. A full bath is located in the hallway. The house exudes a graciousness and warmth throughout – each room is inviting.
A small patio at the back of the house is easily expanded since the property is 177′ deep. In the southwest corner of the backyard there’s a two car garage plus storage bay with a one bedroom, one bath guest house above. This building has reached the end of its life and must be taken down and rebuilt. The advantage is that its grandfathered status allows it to be rebuilt in the same location. Having a large garage and guest house is a highly coveted thing downtown so it’s a project well worth taking on. Thanks to the size of the lot, there’s still plenty of room for gardens, a pool, an outdoor screened dining room and a private courtyard for the guest house.
Surrounded by some of the city’s most admired architecture, it’s a pleasant stroll down the tree-lined street to all of the cultural, culinary and retail offerings that downtown is known for.

Condolences:
We recently lost two great talents in the art community. Gail Pflaster, Ed. D. passed away in early May. She spent forty years in the academic world as a teacher and become passionately involved in the arts community in the late 90s. A member or patron of many St Augustine arts organizations, she created the Festival of the Muses in conjunction with the St Johns Cultural Council in order to celebrate Women’s History Month. In 2009 she founded ROWITA (Recognizing Outstanding Women in the Arts). Her energy and enthusiasm will be missed but her work will carry on. A gathering of friends met recently at the Limelight Theatre to celebrate Gail’s accomplishments and to honor her accomplishments.
Thomas Glover White will be forever remembered for his efforts to create the St Augustine Sculpture Garden, 
but his contributions to the arts community were even greater than his gift of art in a public place. Diagnosed in February 2012, he passed away in late May from an aggressive brain tumor. His friends and fans have arranged a fundraiser to help defray the medical costs incurred and everyone is invited. Many of the same artists, patrons and local businesses who came together last year to help get the sculptures installed at Lakeside Park have joined forces again to host an event this Wednesday, June 20th starting at 5pm and located at Mardi Gras at 123 San Marco Avenue. Artists have donated their works, restaurants have donated food and many of Thomas’ musician friends will be on hand to make music. For more info, call 315.0162 or email [email protected].
Congratulations:
Downtown resident Isabel Dickson was recently honored by the Camellia Circle for her beautifully eclectic garden and patio. Starting with one azalea 25 years ago, Isabel has done every bit of work herself and recycled old chimney bricks into the walkways. Hats off to our wonderful assortment of gardeners!
If you’re a fan of French fries, march yourself down to French Fry Heaven located at the Spanish Plaza at 100 St George Street and treat yourself to a smorgasbord of toppings unless you’re like me and you like them plain with malt vinegar and salt. The grand opening was in late May and it’s been buzzing ever since.
Amiro Art and Found at 9 Aviles Street just recently celebrated its first anniversary and the gallery was hopping with live music, a gaggle of artists and a long line of well-wishers on hand to make merry. Be sure to stop by and congratulate them. amiroartandfound.com
