171 Twine St, Saint Augustine, FL 32084

Step into a home where an historic facade and a thoroughly contemporary interior harmonize beautifully. Intelligently designed, this Lincolnville residence offers a perfect blend of warmth, functionality, and location - just 15 minutes on foot (or a quick bike ride) from the heart of downtown St. Augustine. Enjoy the inviting front porch, then step inside to try on the low key urban vibe. 1st floor features polished concrete floors, setting a sleek, modern tone, while the 2nd floor showcases rich, ebony-stained pine, adding warmth and character. Living, dining and kitchen are bathed in diffused natural light. Smart design details include a tucked-away storage room and a convenient half bath under the stairs. At the rear of the home, the well planned kitchen has generous counter space along the south and rear walls, an ample supply of cabinets and prep area - just right for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Kitchen opens to a 12' x 8' covered porch overlooking a wonderfully private backyard - ripe for container gardening, lounging, or al fresco dining under the stars, on the 21' x 12' patio. Upstairs, the main bedroom presents a peaceful retreat at day's end. The vaulted natural wood ceiling and white-painted beams create a lofty, airy feel while double doors nicely hide the walk-in closet. The full bathroom upstairs is shared by both bedrooms. Located at the front of the house, the 2nd sleeping room features its own version of beamed vaulted ceiling and access to its own front porch where you can enjoy the breeze off the San Sebastian River. A walk-in closet is adjacent to this bedroom and the laundry closet is handily located upstairs. The backyard is big and screened by a custom built horizontal fence. An abundance of sunshine makes for great raised vegetable and herb beds with room left over for other activities. Don't miss the outdoor shower where you can wash away the beach sand or cool down after a bike ride. A gate off Duero St allows you to pull your boat or small camper into the yard and the long driveway on Twine can accommodate 2-3 cars in tandem. There's a power station for electric vehicle charging. 171 Twine is located in the south end of Lincolnville where the Galimore community pool, playground, basketball and pickleball courts are 3 blocks to the south. A bit further and you're at the Freedom Park with its scenic vistas. To the north, you’re surrounded by some of St. Augustine’s best dining spots, including Dog Rose Brewery, Ice Plant, La Nouvelle Bistro, and the ever-popular Fish Camp. Offered by the original owners who worked with the builder to create this cool, energy efficient, eclectic place to call home, they have loved their time here. Ideal for the "less is more" homeowner who craves a lock and leave residence when the travel bug bites or an ideal weekender and holiday house for as often as you can steal away.
