24 Saragossa St, St Augustine, FL 32084

A rare legacy offering combining historic charm with modern flexibility. At the heart of the property is the two-story 24 & 26 Saragossa duplex, a Mediterranean Revival residence originally built circa 1910–1914. Each side offers approximately 2,152 square feet of conditioned living space with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 1 half bath. Period details include wood floors, intricate moldings, solid wood doors with crystal knobs, pocket doors, and carved staircase posts, supported by a poured concrete foundation and a classic Terra-cotta tile roof with a cupola. The duplex includes double front staircases with ornate cast iron railings and an open porch with decorative ironwork, along with a daylit unfinished basement for additional storage and utilities. Complementing the duplex are modern additions: the 18 Sevilla guest residence built in 2016 with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a balcony, and a spacious two-car garage with extra storage, plus a detached 2016 studio building with a one-car garage and an approximately 11' x 11' conditioned space suited for a creative workspace.

Set on a lush, maturely landscaped corner parcel with abundant parking, the property is located in a quiet residential enclave inside historic downtown, within a short walk to restaurants, the marina, and treasured area attractions. The RG-1 zoning supports nightly rentals, and documentation indicates projected short-term rental potential exceeding $125,000 annually. There is also an opportunity to add an additional building to the parcel (900 SF footprint), as unused allowed lot coverage remains, and the large full-height attic space above the duplex may be finished (approximately 936 SF).

With both preserved architectural character and practical, rental-ready improvements, this is well suited for investors seeking multiple revenue streams in a single historic setting, or for an operator looking to combine stays with long-term flexibility. Recent updates—including tile roof replacement (2006), electrical (2016), plumbing (2007 & 2016), water heaters (2007 & 2017), and HVAC systems (2004 & 2016)—help balance comfort with the property’s storied integrity.
