11 pine street

Set in the heart of America’s oldest city, this remarkable 1890 two-story property with solar and an automatic generator offers a rare blend of history, land and potential. Situated on a large corner lot, with valued RS-2 zoning, the property enjoys exceptional views, marked by the cross where Ponce de León is believed to have come ashore, placing it among a small handful of homes connected directly to the city’s earliest history. The two-story main house retains historic charm, with high ceilings, tall windows and generous porches reflecting the architectural style of the period. The layout offers opportunities for customizing the living spaces to suit the dreams and needs of its owners. Natural light filters in on both floors, and the upper-level captures elevated views over the church yard, lake and enjoys sea breezes. Currently, the home includes a small efficiency-style in-law suite downstairs, which could be transformed into a charming retreat. There is also remarkable attic space. A large garage workshop anchors the rear of the property, offering room for storage, restoration projects or creative pursuits. There is also a separate small cottage, ideal for a kid's play house, office or studio. Detached from the main residence, these buldings provide privacy and flexibility, especially appealing for remote work or creative endeavors. The large lot and proximity to downtown distinguishes the property, and the expansive grounds provide room to breathe, garden and create. Currently there are satsuma, lemon and grapefruit trees with ample room for more. From the front door it’s an easy stroll to downtown St. Augustine and its renowned historic sites — the Castillo de San Marcos, Matanzas Bay, St. George Street, museums, galleries, shops, cafés, and restaurants. For those who value history, character and potential; who seek a unique property that tells a story while inviting a new one, this St. Augustine home stands ready for its next chapter.
