About the Property
Nestled in the heart of historic St. Augustine's coveted landmark Nelmar Terrace neighborhood, this classic 1941 brick home has been meticulously renovated reflecting an elevated, timeless style using the finest of finishes. Tucked behind lush privacy hedges overflowing with fragrant jasmine, the al fresco dining area feels like a relaxing Tuscan villa. There's an oversized antique farm table under a pergola, zinc Koi ponds, soothing water features, and gorgeous greenery. Towering centuries-old oaks provide lovely shade across the corner lot.
Inside, the stunning kitchen is the star of the show. A wall of hand-glazed tiles imported from Turkey creates a marvelous backdrop for the stainless 36" Heston gas range and hood. Island seating for six and an open floor plan means the chef never misses out on the fun.
Curated spaces for conversation, entertaining, and quiet reading, a working fireplace, cozy den, three large bedrooms, and three stunning bathrooms reflect the thoughtfulness of the updates.
The European feel continues in the backyard which boasts absolute privacy, a pool with water feature, potted olive trees, and pretty bougainvillea on the spacious patio finished with leathered blue marble pavers. A wall of French doors on the pool house (air-conditioned) gives even more options for entertaining guests, hosting fabulous parties, or utilizing the space for a secluded office, yoga room, or dedicated workout area.
Nelmar Terrace is beloved for its old-growth oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Friendly residents enjoy chatting on their morning and evening strolls, wide streets are perfect for leisurely bike rides, historic St. Augustine's city center isn't too far, and Vilano Beach's sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean or boat launch are only minutes away.
The complete renovation in 2020 included a new roof, all new windows, new exterior doors (while retaining the original front door with a working mail slot), and updated electrical system. This simply stunning home is ready for its next owners to continue its legacy.
