Property Details: |
Own a piece of history in the heart of downtown St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city. This beautiful home is situated on a lot upon which the late great Henry Flagler had selected for his personal residence known as the “Kirkside” mansion, which was demolished in 1950. A true American tycoon, Henry M. Flagler (1830-1913) was a real estate promoter, a partner in the Standard Oil Company, founder of the Florida East Coast Railway and instrumental in the development of the eastern coast of Florida along the Atlantic Ocean from Jacksonville to the Florida Keys. The design is reminiscent of the early Spanish Colonial period for which St. Augustine is so famous. History is reflected with special features such as the Spanish tile roof, balcony and exterior walls with inlaid tile mosaics. Palm and citrus trees grace the grounds of this estate along with a grand ole oak tree in the back yard. This home was originally built in 1955 and has been meticulously renovated by the current owners between 2005-2006 with superior quality of craftsmanship and materials required by the discriminating buyer.
