Walk to Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, downtown St. Augustine, or along the Bayfront from this incredible location. The restaurants and shops of Uptown are also just a stone’s throw through these charming neighborhood streets. This rare find sits on a double lot and is one of the few houses on Water Street with a private driveway and dedicated parking. As you walk up the brick steps to your front porch you are greeted by a solid wood antique front door framed by two sets of French doors. You are welcomed inside by the breathtaking original heart pine wood floors and staircase. To the right of the foyer is a formal sitting area that wraps into your formal dining room overlooked by your open concept, modern kitchen. To the left is the downstairs living area that wraps around to the main dining area and kitchen as well. There is a half bathroom where they all meet and it continues into the laundry room as well as separate mudroom entrance from the backyard oasis. This private retreat has new artificial turf, a bocce ball court and stone seating platforms along the 2020 pool. The gorgeous vine-wrapped pergola provides the perfect cover for lounging and backyard entertaining. And, to bring the true taste of Florida home, there is even a putting green! This is also where your gated driveway and additional parking are located. As you enter the second story of the home there is an office area to the left that opens up to a balcony which overlooks your backyard. There is a hallway where you will pass two guest rooms that share a full bath at the top of the stairway. Located at the end of the hallway is your junior suite with en suite full bath including a walk-in shower. On the east end of the second story you will find your primary suite. The primary suite boasts French doors to a balcony where you can peak at the Matanzas River as well as a separate sitting area on the way to the en suite bath with double vanity, walk-in shower, modern clawfoot bathtub, walk-in closet, and French doors to yet another balcony. This home has been tastefully renovated to keep all of the historic charm while adding a refreshing modern touch. Additional Details: The house was built in 1872 by a woman named Lucy Abbott, whom this part of the neighborhood is named after (Abbott Tract). This is one of the few remaining homes that she built, as 9 are thought to be still standing. Roof, electric, plumbing, HVAC, and tankless water heater installed 2019. Pool, artificial turf, putting green, artesian well/irrigation system 2020.
