307 Minorca Ave, Saint Augustine, FL 32080

New Meets Olde! This incredibly rare home is one of only eleven that the original founder and developer of Davis Shores D.P. Davis, as well as Davis Island in Tampa, Fl, built and is considered a Landmark. Thought to have been built in the 1920's, it is rich in history but youthful in appearance as the owner has lovingly renovated, remodeled and added quite a bit of square footage, all with its traditional roots and details in mind - restoring rather than replacing treasured pieces such as the antique front entry door and arched glass entry doors with period etchings and carvings and true coquina fireplace with carved nautical details. From the moment you step inside you'll feel the rich history of this home while being surprised by its modern and spacious layout. The owners, after a thorough inspection, had it completely stripped down to the bare walls and started from there. The exterior of the home was completely refinished with new stucco added. All of the old plumbing, electrical, heating and AC systems, windows and interior doors were removed. Then the home was completely re-wired and had new light fixtures and ceiling fans installed. The Master Bedroom was redesigned to include an ensuite Master Bathroom complete with all new plumbing, plumbing fixtures and custom cabinetry to match throughout, glass frameless shower enclosure with beautiful neutral tile and a luxurious soaking tub. Second Bathroom was added with the same custom details and conveniently located near the other bedrooms. No worry about running out of hot water heater as hot water is supplied by a Gas Rinnai instant hot water system. A new energy efficient HVAC system was installed as well as all new Jeld-Wen windows with wood clad 4 over 4 glass panels, to maintain the original style and aesthetic of this home. New interior doors and hardware, as well as engineered flooring were installed throughout. Keeping with the original design of this gorgeous home, a new Barrel Type roof was also installed. A new spacious addition was added to provide a modern large kitchen which features center island, custom cabinetry, beautiful quartz countertops and subway tile backsplash, new GE appliances and a separate Wet Bar/Butlers Pantry with floor to ceiling cabinetry, and Wine Storage unit, beverage refrigerator and an additional sink. This addition also includes a Mud room, Laundry Room, downstairs Powder Room, as well as a large double car garage. This new addition was constructed and designed to keep the original style and integrity of the home and flows together beautifully. This wonderful home also has a large inground pool that was completely restored back to its original glory and included new pool equipment. The addition of brick pavers makes the pool deck come to life and created a large outdoor entertaining space that your friends and family will never want to leave. The detached building at the edge of the pool will have your imagination running wild with ideas...a Pool Cabana, Mother-in-Law's Quarters, Game Room, Small Apartment...and was left for you to design and create the space that fits your family's needs. The owner worked with a local nursery and landscaper to design a tropical oasis while maintaining a traditional vibe. This landscape package included a new Irrigation system with water supplied by a deep water artesian well. This gorgeous home presents you with the opportunity to own a piece of not only Davis Shores history, but St. Augustine history as well. This dream location offers a short stroll over the Bridge of Lions to numerous restaurants, coffee shops, bars and entertainment, historical sites, art galleries and our landmark college, Flagler College, all with no need to worry about where to park. Bike to the beach whenever the sun and sand call you or to concerts and the Saturday Farmers Market at the Ampitheater. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy sunrise or sunsets from our beloved Old Fort. Try Standup Paddleboarding or launch your boat in Salt Run. Climb the steps of our historical Lighthouse. The opportunities are endless! Square footage has been estimated to include the new addition. Buyer should verify all pertinent information such as square footage, room measurements, etc. Seller is a Licensed Florida Real Estate Broker. **3D Tour available at https://nodalview.com/s/3JkurX7IrC_8gmwDmH_3Hw or Video Tour https://vimeo.com/1063859357/bd71c72269
