1505 San Rafael Way

Description

Nature, architecture, and craftsmanship seamlessly come together in this one of a kind residence. Privately positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and sitting on over half an acre, the home was designed to embrace light, landscape, and lasting quality—all framed by sweeping marsh views and surrounded by lush, curated landscaping. Inside, clean lines, soaring ceilings, ebony-stained beams, and walls of impact-rated glass pay homage to the home’s Mid-Century Modern–inspired architecture while introducing a refined, contemporary edge. Natural light fills the open floor plan, blending indoor and outdoor living into a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, a true focal point, features custom Downsview cabinetry, honed black granite countertops, a designer porcelain backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances. The adjoining great room offers a dramatic backdrop with floor-to-ceiling glass framing the marsh and sky beyond. A split bedroom layout offers privacy, with the primary suite strategically placed to capture unobstructed views. A custom 11x13 closet/dressing room, direct patio access, and a spa-inspired bath finished in Carrara marble complete the suite. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms provide space for guests, a home office, or both. Every detail was carefully considered: from the 240V EV charger in the oversized garage, to the copper-hued metal roof and full landscape lighting package. The home is equipped with a newer HVAC system, reverse osmosis water filtration, a hot/cold outdoor shower, and one of the most comprehensive flood protection systems you’ll find in the area. With approximately $75,000 invested in engineered flood mitigation, including retaining walls, sump pumps, a generator, and a custom flood barrier, the property has remained protected through hurricanes, tropical storms, King tides, and Nor’easters. The location strikes a rare balance — secluded yet connected. Enjoy walking to the St. Augustine Amphitheater for weekend markets and concerts, biking to Anastasia State Park, launching a boat from Lighthouse Park, or exploring Historic Downtown just a short ride away. Zoned RS-3, the property also allows for short-term rentals, providing additional flexibility. Homes like this - with its combination of architecture, location, and views - rarely come to market.
