Description

Step into a century of elegance with this exquisite 100-year-old Dutch Colonial home, nestled in the heart of St. Augustine’s most distinguished historic neighborhood. A rare offering, this architectural gem is being sold for only the second time in its storied history, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who appreciate the craftsmanship and grandeur of a bygone era. Built in 1926, this home is a true treasure, seamlessly blending original charm with modern luxury. Surrounded by majestic oaks, stately palms, vibrant azaleas, and lush pecan trees, it sits in a postcard-perfect setting, evoking the beauty and grace of a historic estate. From the moment you step through the grand entryway, you’re transported to another era. Soaring ceilings, an elegant staircase, and stunning original leaded glass details create an atmosphere of refinement, while the warmth of original hardwood floors, a stately fireplace, and vintage light fixtures whispers of the home’s enduring legacy. Yet, while history is carefully preserved, this home has been meticulously updated for effortless modern living. A brand-new kitchen with premium finishes, designer bathrooms, and an added charming powder room on the main floor provide contemporary comfort while complementing the home’s classic style. Recent electrical, plumbing, AC, and roof updates ensure that this historic treasure stays in impeccable condition. Beyond its elegant main living areas, the home offers serene spaces to unwind, create, and entertain. The first-floor sunroom, adorned with original French doors and a sliding door to the porch, overlooks a picturesque firepit and lush azalea and palm garden, an idyllic retreat for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Separately, a covered porch off the kitchen provides a charming space for afternoon tea or al fresco dining, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of nature in comfort. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom is a true sanctuary-spacious enough to waltz around in, with five large windows framing breathtaking views of the trees and sunlight. The atmosphere is so tranquil, it almost feels as if you are floating inside a natural cloud, enveloped by light and greenery. Another bonus room, once used as a "sleeping room" before air conditioning era, offers flexible space bathed in natural light, perfect for a study, art studio, or reading nook. Located in Nelmar Terrace, a National Register Historic District, this home is surrounded by some of St. Augustine’s most distinguished residences. Tree-lined sidewalks, friendly neighbors, and an intimate sense of community create a truly special place, one where history and modern life blend seamlessly. Unlike other historic districts, Nelmar Terrace remains private and peaceful, offering a retreat from the tourist bustle while still placing you at the heart of the city’s vibrant culture. With a waterfront pocket park just steps away, Vilano Beach only 5 minutes away, and downtown St. Augustine’s historic charm at your fingertips, this home is more than a residence, it’s an invitation to become a steward of history while living in unparalleled comfort. The detached 2-car garage features an upper-level bonus room with full electricity. The new fence has been thoughtfully positioned within the backyard, creating additional parking space in the alleyway. The original 100-year-old house plans, designed by renowned architect Fred A. Henderich, will be passed to the new owner, preserving a significant piece of architectural history. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a landmark home in Nelmar Terrace.
