This 3 story Spanish Colonial is one of 36 surviving colonial structures in Saint Augustine. More important - it is one of just a few original structures that date to the First Spanish period. 224 St George Street, an incredibly desirable address, this private residence constructed between 1702 and 1764 is first recorded in 1788 as owned by the Spanish Crown. The Peredes-Sequi-MacMillan house is unusual in its historic significance and interest, yet it is married seamlessly with modern amenities; resulting in a truly beguiling home. Enter through the courtyard as is typical of the Spanish Colonial style or through the parlor - typical of the Territorial period that followed. The clean, simple lines of colonial architecture, random width wood floors, beamed wooden 12 foot ceilings, large rooms with windows overlooking Saint Augustine's landmark buildings, and vistas, as well as six working fireplaces make this home as inviting today as it has been throughout its long and colorful history.
First floor features include: a large updated kitchen retaining the charm of yesteryear with a fireplace and brick floor plus a huge window overlooking the private courtyard setting. Formal living-room with a wood-burning fireplace. Large library with a wall of built-in shelving and cabinetry, and guest-bath. Upper floors features four large bed-rooms and two large baths. Third floor is fabulous expanse of entire footprint. Very special, with incredible views of St George Street. Zoning permits third floor could be converted to separate apartment. A six foot Coquina wall shelters the courtyard and provides privacy for your outdoor living space and entry for a rare and newly constructed detached 3 car parking garage with living quarters above. The property is zoned Historic preservation - HP-1, so the extra unit can be rented or used as guest house.
