Steeped in St. Augustine’s rich history and located under the warm glow of the Lighthouse sits the historic Octagon House. One of Anastasia Island’s first two homes, the original 1886 construction has been meticulously renovated to its original splendor and touched with mid-century modern flair. Enter this private compound and you may never want to leave. Whether it’s the ideal Lighthouse Park location, the remarkable craftsmanship, the outdoor living space including walled courtyard, decks and veranda, or the majestic views of Salt Run and the Lighthouse, this home is perfectly suited for the discerning buyer searching for history, style, spirit and sophistication. Transcending any standard renovation, every detail was recreated to maintain the historic architectural value. The original pine floors and cypress paneling & ceilings have been lovingly restored, the fascia board and stunning porch corbels replaced with exact replicas and the wood burning fireplace reconditioned. The circular stairs leading to the upstairs round bedroom are original and cut from one solid piece of wood. The functioning cellar is reminiscent of life during the turn of the century. What the eye can see is equally important as what’s behind the walls: all systems are brand new - electrical, plumbing, top of the line SEER air conditioning, metal roof and appliances. Considered one of St. Augustine’s most important residential buildings by the American Institute of Architects, “The Clapp Octagon House” is a landmark treasure. Of course a home this unique would have its own Wikipedia page. The art is in the details: push-to-open cypress pantry, gorgeous wooden swinging doors with glass inserts that lead to the stairs, etc. Perhaps small in square footage but definitely grand in character, the home also includes permitted plans for a master suite.
