The Story
17 Old Mission Avenue
In our wonderfully walkable historic city, celebrated for its rich and varied architecture, there are some homes that grab you and never let you go. 17 Old Mission Avenue is one of those homes. One of only three residences built by a master mason whose family's roots in St Augustine stretch back centuries, its beautifully sculpted concrete block façade stands as a lasting testament to exceptional craftsmanship. Beyond the distinctive exterior, a private walled courtyard and welcoming front porch set the tone for a home that defines its owner's vision of modern urban living. Inside, rich wood floors and classic moldings pair easily with clean lines and contemporary finishes, creating a classic yet fresh aesthetic. The living and dining rooms are filled with natural light streaming through oversized windows, making them inviting throughout the day. The kitchen lines up with the dining and living rooms, keeping friends and family connected during meal prep. Primary suite is a sunny retreat with private bath and the 1st floor guest room at the back of the house has a private entrance. Guest bath off the kitchen offers tub lovers a place to soak after a day of exploration and a separate shower if you’re on the go. Upstairs, the 3rd bedroom with ½ bath is a favorite with guests and you’ll understand as soon as you see it for yourself. The heart of the house most of the year is the louvered porch in back. A generous space for outdoor living and dining, the louvered panels filter sunlight and welcome breezes while maintaining a wonderful sense of seclusion. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, an afternoon read, or evening cocktails with friends, this inviting outdoor retreat is destined to become one of your favorite places to unwind.
