In addition, the Historic Downtown is a short walk away, and the beach is just a five-minute drive!
The Space:
Location, location, location!
Holy Magnolia! Enjoy the spectacular oak canopy, walk the Spanish moss-lined street, and take in the majestic peacocks from the Fountain of Youth freely wandering about.
The peaceful neighborhood is in the heart of Uptown St Augustine, tucked away from the hustle and bustle yet within walking distance from shops, restaurants, museums, and other downtown attractions in the Historic District.

Outdoor Bliss
Enjoy sitting at the covered front porch to watch the Trolley Tours drive by and catch a glimpse of the iconic Fountain of Youth peacocks walking near the house.
Step out into your private haven and relax in the large fenced yard with the paved patio. Gather in the gazebo with the string lights and the firepit crackling.

The Neighborhood:
St. Augustine is the nation’s oldest city and also holds the distinction of being one of the most charming. Experience flavorful dining, art and culture with an abundance of entertainment right on your doorstep.
Sun, fun, history, and mystery —From the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument to the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum and everything in between there is something for everyone and all just a few minutes from the house.
The home is located right in the heart of Uptown St Augustine just a few minutes’ walk from the main street known for boutique shops, art galleries, antique stores, as well as local eateries from pizza to fine dining — such as the beautiful Raintree Restaurant (a 7 minute walk away) and the delicious Luli’s cupcakes (9 min walk).
Head south along San Marco Ave where you will find all sorts of innovative food and drink options, cool indie shops selling everything from furniture to flowers, books, ice cream, cupcakes, art and then wind up in the downtown Historic District (20 min walk) which is a whole other adventure.
Those who appreciate architecture from the 1800s to the 1920s will want to walk through a number of small neighborhoods listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These include the Abbott Tract Historic District, Matanzas Bay, Pine, San Marco, Shenandoah Aves and the Nelmar Terrace Historic District.
Jump aboard the Trolley to see the city, or hire a bike and take your time soaking up each neighborhood, museum and monument.
