About this home

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to this beautifully renovated Lincolnville cottage, where historic charm meets modern peace of mind. This fully furnished 2-bed, 1-bath home has been thoughtfully updated and is ready to serve as a primary residence, vacation retreat, or income-generating short-term rental. The inviting covered front porch (with gutters) sets the stage for morning coffee or evening conversation while keeping deliveries dry. Step inside to an open, light-filled living space and a chef-inspired kitchen boasting quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, farmhouse sink, custom pantry, and stainless-steel appliances including a French-door refrigerator, Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawer, and air-fryer range. The split bedroom layout offers privacy, while the stylish bath features granite finishes, a custom glass barn-door shower, and preserved Carrara marble flooring. Recent upgrades provide comfort and confidence: a durable metal roof with more than 27 years of life remaining, 200-amp electrical panel (2021), HVAC (2016), full plumbing re-pipe, water heater (2021), and a newly built front porch with gutters. Inside and out, every major component has been cared for. The oversized one-car garage includes laundry, water softener, and room for storage or larger vehicles. A newly built 8x12 powered shed expands the possibilities, ideal as a home office, creative studio, or guest overflow. Entertain outdoors on the back deck overlooking the spacious fenced yard with fire-pit. Zoned RS-2, this home offers flexibility for its next owner. Beyond the property, you’re immersed in the best of St. Augustine—the nation’s oldest city. Walk to historic downtown shops, restaurants, and cultural sites, or enjoy nearby parks, trails, and the community recreation center with pool, playground, and ball fields. Freedom Park, just blocks away, offers 10+ acres of green space along the San Sebastian River with picnic areas and a meditation garden. From history and culture to convenience and modern updates, this Lincolnville gem captures it all. All information provided is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
