Detached 15' x 20' Tea House guest area has new bath for potential visitors. R-S/1 Single Family allows for weekly vacation rentals. Former orange groves surrounded this vintage farmhouse in 1880, with 1/2 acre, prime lot, when the heirs to the Mellon fortune built this quaint estate, and the original heart-pine fabric of this grand lady is fortunately, still unmottled by do-it-yourself-ers! Built for lively entertaining, with high ceilings, fireplaces, and exterior walk-outs in every direction, you'll imagine the parties and family gatherings from a grand lifestyle, a century ago- and now. This nostalgic St. Augustine home deserves a royal family who will nurture and adore this downtown piece of history for another 100-plus years! Four stately fireplaces and built-in bookcases bring Old World class & charm! The house is dwarfed by the spacious property, and you will be surprised by the huge rooms--more than 15 in this 4, 000 SF home. The 1880's maid quarters are now utility rooms in the back, and a rare butler's pantry still serves the newly remodeled kitchen.
