24 Nelmar Ave St Augustine, FL 32084

Los Robles is the name for this exceptional Mediterranean Revival designed by Wallace Neff. Known as the architect to the stars, he worked exclusively in California until an actress living in St Augustine persuaded him to build the home at 24 Nelmar Ave. In the same family since the 1930s, the original features and details are largely intact, from the living room under a soaring beamed ceiling to the 3 curved fireplaces, formal dining with wavy glass arched windows and doorways everywhere that lead to the gardens and paths. Aficionados of Neff's work will be delighted to find this gem on a 1/2 acre in one of St Augustine's most coveted historic neighborhoods. In need of a complete mechanical update, the real fun begins when you turn loose your imagination on the interior. This Mediterranean Revival style with its healthy dose of California influence created a singular residence 100 years ago and is ready to deliver another century's worth of enjoyment once a proper renovation is complete.
