689 Standish Dr, Saint Augustine, FL 32086

Welcome to 689 Standish Drive, a stately Southern Colonial Revival home nestled on 0.55 acres in the heart of St. Augustine in a secluded neighborhood with mature trees. Framed by a wide, inviting front porch and classic dormer windows, this red-brick residence offers timeless charm, custom upgrades, and untapped potential—with no HOA restrictions. The circular driveway wraps around two mature trees, highlighting the meticulous landscaping and classic curb appeal. This immaculately maintained three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was thoughtfully designed with expansion in mind. Originally intended to be a two-story, the owners opted to keep it single-level, leaving a 13-foot high attic space perfect for potential future development. From the moment you step through the front door, you're welcomed into a light-filled entryway. To the right, the formal dining room impresses with floor-to-ceiling windows, providing an elegant space for gatherings. Arched windows and crown molding carry timeless charm throughout the home. Just beyond, the living room features a beautifully appointed fireplace with a white mantle, flanked by a custom built-in media unit—a warm and inviting focal point of the home. The kitchen is open and bright, offering granite countertops, double sinks, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of cabinet space, including a double-door pantry. It opens seamlessly to the breakfast nook, where a bay window frames the view and French doors lead to a large screened-in lanai with tiled flooring—perfect for enjoying Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with double vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and an enormous walk-in closet. The two guest bedrooms are exceptionally large, each comfortably fitting a king-size bed and featuring walk-in closets—rare luxuries in any home. Off the living area, a spacious office with double doors, built-in closet, and custom bookcase presents the possibility of a conforming fourth bedroom if needed. A well-equipped laundry room with built-in storage leads directly into the finished, climate controlled three-car garage, which includes a Shark Coating covered floor and both front and rear access. A solar-powered rear gate provides rear access to the property, and a secure and convenient space to store a boat, RV, or other recreational vehicles. Built in 1993, this home has been lovingly updated over the years, including remodeled bathrooms, wood flooring, and a new architectural shingle roof installed in 2024. With 10 closets throughout, there is no shortage of storage. The property is zoned RS-1, offering residential flexibility.
