The story
Located in the low-key south end of historic Lincolnville, 161 Blanco St offers modern living with a relaxed neighborhood feel. Whether you’re considering a full-time residence, a second home or a mix of personal use paired with vacationing paying guests, this house is well suited to accommodate it all with ease. Built in 2016 and thoughtfully designed, it combines a contemporary downtown-inspired exterior with an inviting interior and numerous outdoor spaces for year-round use. A private courtyard embraced by pineapple guavas and sunflowers leads to the 20’ screened front porch and the entryway. On the south side there’s a comfortable screened outdoor living room and steps that take you to the patio with a built-in firepit, all made private within the fenced backyard. Inside, the open-concept living and dining areas feature abundant natural light, engineered wood floors, generous windows and flexible space for everyday living and hosting friends and family. The smartly planned kitchen offers ample prep space, easy flow and a breakfast bar for casual meals. The first-floor en-suite primary bedroom has French doors opening to that screened side porch so you can quietly slip out and watch the moon rise. A half bath and large laundry room downstairs are convenient and simultaneously out of the way. Upstairs a bright loft provides flexible space for a home office, gym, media room, or studio. Two spacious guest bedrooms with generous closets share a full bath. A path on either side of the house also lead to the back backyard which ranks high for low-maintenance outdoor living courtesy of pavers and native landscaping. The firepit is waiting for cool evenings and you have plenty of room for grilling, gardening, pets and a future pool. A deep carport and extended driveway provide parking for up to three vehicles, plus additional guest parking spot outside the courtyard. Enjoy a walkable Lincolnville lifestyle close to the community garden, Galimore Center pool, Freedom Park, Lincolnville Museum, restaurants, breweries, distilleries and take advantage of proximity to Flagler College with its cultural and educational offerings.
