Step into the foyer and be greeted by original heart pine floors and staircase, lovingly preserved during the home's top-to
-bottom renovation in 2019. To your right, a formal sitting room opens to a sunlit dining area, both overlooking the open
-concept chef's kitchen, complete with modern finishes and thoughtful design. On the left, the family room flows easily into the
main dining and kitchen spaces. A half bath, storage room, and mudroom entrance complete the first floor. Step outside to
your private retreat: a fully fenced backyard designed for both entertaining and leisure. Completed in 2020, the space features
low-maintenance artificial turf, a bocce ball court, stone seating areas and a deliciously inviting pool. Practice your short game
on the custom putting green, or simply unwind under the Florida sky. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms share a full bath, while a
spacious junior suite includes its own private bathroom with a walk-in shower. At the east end, the primary suite offers a
tranquil sanctuary with two balconies, a private sitting area, peeks of the Matanzas River, and a generous bathroom featuring
a modern clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. This is more than a home - it's a legacy, a lifestyle,
and a chance to live in one of St Augustine's most treasured neighborhoods.
