Supplements
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.
