Property Description
Timeless beauty in St. Johns! This historic residence, originally constructed by the proprietor of St John Brick Works, has been thoughtfully restored, blending original charm with contemporary enhancements. The home welcomes you with a stately covered porch where you can while away the afternoon rain or shine, sipping beverages with friends or curled up with a good book in a porch swing. As you enter the house you will be wowed by all the natural light pouring in through the large windows in the living and dining rooms. High, coved ceilings allow these sizable rooms to feel even more expansive, illuminated, and airy. It is easy to imagine music and laughter floating through the air while entertaining guests in this inviting space.The floor plan allows for easy, single level living with all three bedrooms and both bathrooms on the main floor--the primary bedroom boasting a lovely tiled ensuite. Prepare your scrumptious meals in the spacious, updated kitchen that is well equipped with stainless steel appliances and a gas stove. Once you throw open the back door, you'll see a whole new world awaits! An 8,000+ Sqft., fully fenced back yard just waiting for your green thumb and landscape design. So much room that you could easily have a food forest, flower garden, vegetable garden, and some chickens! Large mature trees provide both shade and privacy.This home is not only a beauty on the outside, but has the lovely systems updates on the inside to match. Updated electrical and plumbing and new windows, just to name a few. The vast, open basement with high ceilings, has ample space for storage and its own entrance, which may present potential for an ADU. Don't forget that this home is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from beautiful Pier Park! And, this home is located oh so close to all the fun and delicious offerings of St Johns--Wonderwood Springs, Gracie's Apizza, The Fixin' To, St. Johns Twin Cinema, and so much more!
