172 Avenida Menendez St Augustine, FL 32084

Steeped in history, we wish the walls of this second Spanish Period residence could only talk and regale us with tales dating back to the early 1800s. The original single-story coquina structure was built 1801-1803 in accordance with the decree of King Philip of Spain who commanded all houses be built right on the street with surrounding walls for defensive purposes. In those days, this home was oriented to Marine St with its back to the Matanzas River. In the mid 1800s a wooden upper story was added, then a 3 or 4-sided wraparound porch appeared and later the house was trimmed with gingerbread. A 2-story wing on the south side from 1913 completed the dwelling you see today. Some 100 years ago, orientation was changed from Marine St to Avenida Menendez which runs along the Intracoastal Waterway with its delightful breeze. Set back from the street, with a supremely private front yard (a rare thing amongst bayfront properties), we invite you to drink in the expansive water view under
