5 Althea St, Saint Augustine, FL 32084

The magic wrought by an architect, gifted carpenter and most recently, a master of natural landscaping has created this singular home in its own woodland. Tucked away on a tree-lined street in a coveted uptown neighborhood, the house presents as an original work of art with marvelous detail at every turn. Douglas Fir French doors open to a quarry-tiled foyer which separates living space from the sleeping wing. An abundance of windows lets in the diffused natural light that softly illuminates the interior. An open space, the living and dining rooms share a gabled tongue and groove ceiling which extends into the office/sunroom. Built-in bookcase/media center anchors the living room while a large skylight adds extra sunshine. Masterpiece kitchen with handcrafted walnut cabinets and shelves, Italian Carrera marble walls, Heath Ceramics tile in the dedicated coffee station plus Thermador 30" gas range, Summit refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher all combine forces to create memorable meals.
