In addition there is a separate 720sqt Carriage House guest apartment also includes designer furniture and dcor. Take a moment to enjoy the accompanying video providing breath-taking views of each room with their perfect furnishings and unique accoutrements including the iron koi stairway posts from the estate of Betsy Roosevelt Whitney, the hand crafted inlaid wood doors from Aristotle Onassis' NYC apartment, and sculpture centerpiece for the Study, "ex Nihilo" working model, created by renowned sculptor Fredrick Hart - this home truly has it all with a personal history to captivate all who enter.

To be within walking distance of all that a history-rich downtown can offer while residing in a beautifully serene personal oasis is truly the best of all worlds. It is easy to see why St. Augustine was named Southern Living's "Best Small Town in the South" for 2023. Overlooking the Matanzas Bay with a dock for fishing and boat storage with direct access to the Intracoastal and Atlantic from your own home, plus striking views of the beautiful St. Augustine Lighthouse and the Bridge of Lions, this home presents a one of a kind lifestyle where beauty meets history and one that surely is that of which dreams are made.
