80 Lincoln St St Augustine, FL 32084

A burst of color behind swaying palm trees is your 1st clue there's a happy hidden cottage waiting to be found! A local favorite, everyone smiles to see this sweet house dressed up in rich jewel tones. Presiding from its corner location on a sleepy Lincolnville street, privacy is assured thanks to native landscaping along the street sides. A small portico keeps you dry as you open the front door. Crisp white columns separate living room from entry foyer with room enough for a table for your hat!. Natural light streams in through the many windows that illuminate the rooms and make blond wood floors gleam in the sunshine. Comfortable living room and spacious dining room are separated by another columned entry. Flow is easy from living to dining to kitchen at the back of the house where the side door opens and a path takes you to a small courtyard on the north side. Compact kitchen has beautiful wood cabinets and stone counters with enough room to cook up a memorable meal whenever you're not dining out or bringing take-out home from our many fine indie restaurants. Guest bedroom is in front just off the entry foyer. This peaceful room has filtered light - great for those who like a darker room for sleeping. Central hallway is home to an office and from here you access the large screened porch - a favorite spot for the long-time owners. Deeply shaded, it is always cooler in this outdoor space - lovely for morning coffee, lazy lunches and evening cocktails as the moon rises over nearby Lake Maria Sanchez. Primary bedroom is a retreat in the northeast corner. Soft light during the day, quiet at night so you can rest up after a day of adventuring. Hall bath is right next door and a stack washer/dryer can be re-installed there once a plug is added. At present there's room for one car to park off-street but with a bit of pruning, you might get two average vehicles in the driveway. Point yourself north and in five 5 blocks or 10 minutes, you'll be in the heart of downtown!
