If you see only one home in this price range, this MUST be it!! Presiding over St. Augustine's historic bay front, this breathtaking home, exquisitely renovated by Elaine and Duke Darnold to green standards with modern technology, offers the craftsmanship and attention to detail seldom seen elsewhere! Stretching from waterfront Avenida Menendez to cobblestoned Marine St., this distinctive property is complimented by a tranquil, private courtyard between the house and the garage and bricked parking apron. The comfortable veranda and the second floor windowed porch provide gorgeous views of the promenade, Matanzas Bay, and St. Augustine's lighthouse on Anastasia Island beyond. Don't miss your opportunity to experience this stunning property! See list of features of the home in attachments! As is typical with a Darnold renovation, everywhere you look you will find astonishing detail: custom crafted woodwork and cabinets, a gourmet cook's kitchen (a built-in pasta/steam pan/sink combination that fills AND drains), sumptuous baths (onyx counters & sills, heated limestone floor & towel racks in master bath), repurposed antique archways, leaded glass transoms, original Heart-of-Pine floors, and elegant antique light fixtures (3 custom made Murano glass chandeliers from Italy), just to name a few of the many exquisite details. But this house isn't just a "pretty face"; the latest in technological advances provide security and comfort: the security system with video surveillance, a SpeakerCraft audio system with recessed ceiling speakers (plus more outside), the two story residential elevator (950-pound capacity), the three tankless water heaters (located on the side of the house), the two-zone heating and cooling systems with special allergy filter, and that's not all! Come see for yourself how history, craftsmanship and technology blend on the bay front providing fabulous water views, comfortable living, security, and all within a few minutes' walk of all that is Historic St. Augustine!
