Property Description
Welcome to The Puello House, a rare and remarkable residence at 53 Marine Street in St. Augustine, originally constructed between 1812 and 1814 by Maria Puello during the city's Second Spanish Period. Built of native coquina stone, the same material used to construct the nearby Castillo de San Marcos, this extraordinary property has stood for more than two centuries, quietly witnessing the evolution of America's oldest city.
From the moment you arrive, the home delivers an unmistakable ''wow factor'' that simply cannot be replicated. Historic character blends seamlessly with thoughtful modern restoration, creating a residence that feels both timeless and refined. Every detail honors the home's rich architectural heritage while offering the comfort and elegance expected of luxury living today. Perfectly positioned in one of the most coveted locations in historic downtown, this home offers a lifestyle that few properties can rival. Step outside your door and find yourself moments from the vibrant heart of the Old City--charming cafés, award-winning restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and waterfront promenades all within an easy stroll.
Adding to the home's rarity is a three-car garage--an extraordinary and almost unheard-of feature in the historic district, offering both convenience and flexibility rarely found in downtown St. Augustine properties. The home is also in close proximity to a marina that can handle a boat, or yacht, of any size.
The setting itself is nothing short of spectacular. From the property, enjoy unobstructed views of the iconic St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, the shimmering waters of the Matanzas River, and the historic Bridge of Lions--a breathtaking backdrop that changes with every sunrise and sunset.
Homes of this caliber and provenance rarely become available. This is more than a residence--it is a chance to own a living piece of St. Augustine's history, carefully preserved and beautifully reimagined for modern life.
For those seeking something truly extraordinary, The Puello House is not simply a home. It is a legacy.
