Welcome to one of the most captivating homes ever offered along the coveted Maria Sanchez Lakearguably one of the most desired addresses in historic downtown St. Augustine. Just beyond the arched brick entry, a hidden sanctuary unfolds: a residence so enchanting that every guest leaves yearning for a return invitation. Equal parts refined and soulful, the homes style evokes the quiet elegance of a Belgian estate, the restraint of a Darryl Carter design, and the serenity of Asian influence. Antique old growth teak, salvaged hard local oak, and artisan masonry are layered throughout, creating a curated backdrop built to endure both time and elements. The heart of the home was imagined for seamless entertaining. Glass folding-wall systems open the entire first level from front to back, dissolving boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. A spectacular summer kitchenexpertly built and bricked by a master old world masonanchors the entry courtyard alongside a tranquil pool and spa-like bath. Inside, an impressive chefs kitchen features an oversized Viking range, open shelving, and exquisite marble slabs flowing across both walls and counters. The dining and living spaces welcome guests with warmth, then spill effortlessly onto a dreamy lakefront terrace where birdlife performs daily. The original 1920s cottage charm marries beautifully with bold, modern lines. A sophisticated study lies beyond the sleek fireplace, framed by an antique arched wavy-glass window that captures shimmering lake views. Upstairs, the primary suite and a flexible guest suitecurrently enjoyed as an extended sitting roomeach offer private balconies overlooking the lake through a graceful specimen tree. Both include spa-worthy marble baths with distinctive lighting and fixtures. A spacious screened porch wraps the south side, perfect for games, reading, or quiet conversation, then transitions to a sunlit terrace ideal for herbs and roses. The Little Nest, a whimsical full ensuite retreat on the third floor, offers panoramic vistas across the historic skyline to the Intracoastal. Beautifully finished with marble, raised ceilings, and reclaimed woods, it invites sleeping, writing, dreaming, living. Across the brick courtyard, a beautifully detached garden studio offers a tranquil and private escape. With soaring ceilings, reclaimed-beam details, a charming bath, sitting area, and petite kitchenette, it feels like a romantic hideaway all its own. Originally permitted as a shed, this structure is not included in the homes bedroom, bath, or square-footage totals. Still, its versatility shines ideal for overnight guests, creative work, wellness, or quiet retreat. This extraordinary property is more than a homeit is an experience. A quiet secret hidden in plain sight, redefining historic St. Augustine living where cobblestone streets, shimmering waterways, and timeless architecture greet you every day.
