1 Holly Lane, Saint Augustine, FL 32080 - For Sale

WATERFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE DOCK Intriguing: some homes arouse an overpowering curiosity. The desire to experience the exciting lifestyle waiting on the other side of the gates is compelling and it should be, as this waterfront estate is a singularly designed residence standing apart from all others. An immense front courtyard greets as you enter through the cypress gate. So much to absorb - the pool shimmering across the grey travertine pavers, the shady garden awash with color, the extraordinary detail of the covered outdoor living room with its vaulted and beamed ceiling reminiscent of Hawaiian plantation style with a hint of Balinese accent and a fireplace to take away the winter chill. Y Lazy Koi swim by as you cross the footbridge while the waters of Salt Run glitter through the open front door. The house opens up in front of you with an abundance of welcoming places to gather including the great room and atrium dining room where even the simplest meal will be a celebration, the living room centered around an intricate Balinese fireplace mantel and the Venetian-plastered kitchen which will inspire your culinary muse. A 6-burner gas Thermador, Gaggenau built-in steamer and an 11' x 4' island will easily manage any gathering. The family room up front has its own fireplace. Family and guests will enjoy the large first floor bedrooms and bath with an air-jetted tub, travertine shower, stone vessel sinks and towel warmer. Upstairs the master quarters include a sitting room, stunning plastered stone bedroom with fireplace and porch, two walk-ins, office and a delicious bathroom. Everywhere there's something beautiful to see - enjoy it. Outdoors a covered kitchen will cook the fish you catch off your private dock. Nestled in this quiet harbor with 102' of frontage, the 287' dock has a boat lift and two floaters. Words and photos cannot scratch the surface of this multifaceted gem which was crafted by artisans with a passion for their work. Visit www.1hollylane.com
