37 Magnolia Dr Saint Augustine, FL 32080
The former Coquina Inn, a historic gem nestled in the coveted Lighthouse Park neighborhood, offers a unique opportunity steeped in rich history and potential. Built in 1915 with tabby revival construction by the Post Mistress of Anastasia Island Mary Heston, this home holds significant cultural value. Notably, it was frequented by Arthur Brisbane, the esteemed Chief Editor for W.R. Hearst, who made it his winter sanctuary. Spanning four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, including an adjoining apartment complete with a living room, eat-in kitchen, bedroom, and bath, the residence presents versatile living options. Whether as a rental income source, in-law suite, or seamlessly integrated into the main dwelling, the possibilities abound. Inside, the home exudes timeless charm with hardwood flooring, two fireplaces, crown molding, and bead board ceilings. The owners' suite boasts a serene sitting area and an adjoining room ideal for a nursery, office, or dressing room. A remarkable feature is the expansive 1, 700 square foot basement, a rarity among Island homes. And with its high elevation, this home has remained high and dry throughout the years. Strategically positioned, this residence epitomizes convenience. It's a short stroll to downtown, the Lighthouse Park Boat Ramp, R.B. Hunt Elementary School, and Anastasia Island State Park offering pristine beach access. Also nearby are cultural landmarks like the St. Augustine Amphitheater and the Alligator Farm, along with a vibrant array of shops and restaurants lining Anastasia Blvd. Downtown St. Augustine is just 1.4 miles away. With a touch of vision and restoration, the grandeur of the Coquina Inn can be revived, offering a blend of historic elegance and modern comfort in one of St. Augustine's most sought-after locales.
