Description of 4 E San Carlos Avenue, St. Augustine - MLS# 2163379
A distinctive St. Augustine home in a location that lets you experience the city--not simply live near it. Set in the sought-after Uptown/Nelmar Terrace area, 4 E San Carlos Ave captures the character that makes St. Augustine so desirable: mature oaks draped in Spanish moss, palms, charming architecture, and the ability to move easily between the historic city, local dining and shops, waterfront activities, and the beaches beyond.
From the street, the home's coastal-inspired architecture, metal roof, welcoming covered front porch, and mature landscape immediately set it apart. Inside, the home offers four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a spacious bonus/game room, creating a versatile layout for full-time living, welcoming family and friends, or simply enjoying a home with room to spread out. The main living spaces are bright and inviting, with an open-concept design connecting the living room and beautifully appointed kitchen. White cabinetry, quartz-style countertops, stainless appliances, a detailed glass-tile backsplash, and a large island create a kitchen that is both functional and polished. A walk-in pantry adds valuable storage, while a separate, cozy office provides a quiet space for working from home, reading, or simply having a dedicated place to retreat. A fireplace adds warmth and character to the living space, creating a natural gathering place for everyday life and entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat complete with its own balcony, creating a quiet place to enjoy the morning or unwind in the evening. The bonus/game room adds an entirely different dimension to the home--ideal for recreation, movie nights, guests, or simply giving everyone a little more room to spread out.
Outdoor living is one of this home's defining features. Rather than one ordinary backyard, the property offers multiple distinct spaces to enjoy the outdoors, including the covered front porch, rear porch, private primary-suite balcony, and a beautifully designed pavered courtyard alongside the home. Tropical landscaping, comfortable seating, and a dedicated grilling area create an intimate setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or entertaining friends, while additional lawn areas provide even more room to enjoy the Florida sunshine.
The home is equally well suited to everyday practicality, with an extended driveway, 2.5-car garage, no HOA, and a generator inlet. There is room for vehicles, storage, bikes, a golf cart, and the extras that come with enjoying the Florida lifestyle.
And then there's the location. Historic St. Augustine becomes part of everyday life here. Walk to iconic landmarks and museums, the Fountain of Youth, and beautiful oak-canopied Magnolia Avenue, where centuries-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss create one of the city's most memorable settings. From here, historic streets, local restaurants, galleries, shops, and the waterfront are all part of the experience, while a bike ride opens the door to even more--from downtown to the coast and beaches beyond. The surrounding mature trees and distinctive mix of homes add to the character of a neighborhood that feels authentically St. Augustine--a place where history, natural beauty, and coastal living are woven into everyday life.
