Welcome to The Rovira-Hernandez House—a rare gem on Avenida Menendez in the heart of historic downtown St. Augustine. With origins dating back to 1754, this exceptional property is steeped in history, once home to notable figures such as Charles Gobert and Alexander Hamilton. The enduring coquina walls of the lower level make this one of the few surviving Spanish Colonial homes, a true testament to the city's storied past. Overlooking the Matanzas River, this residence offers breathtaking eastern-facing balcony views of the St. Augustine Lighthouse as well as The Lion’s Bridge. Visitors are welcomed through a charming picketed wrought iron gate into a private, walled courtyard. A brick pathway leads to the entrance and outdoor living spaces, creating an intimate setting perfect for entertaining. Inside, the grand foyer immediately captivates with custom wood ceiling details. Spacious enough to function as a cozy reading nook or an elegant spot for cocktail hour, this entryway sets the tone for the home’s warmth and character. Beyond, the staircase ascends to the second floor, while wide cased openings connect to the living room. Flooded with natural light and anchored by a fireplace, this central gathering space exudes charm and comfort. Adjacent to the living area, the kitchen features a dedicated dining space and direct access to an outdoor dining area, along with a convenient butler’s entrance off Marine Street. Ascending the wooden staircase, a sunlit landing greets you with expansive, period-authentic windows leading to the generous second-floor balcony. The upper level hosts the home’s bedrooms and a bath, with the centerpiece being a captivating family space. This area showcases a fireplace with brick surround, soaring vaulted wood ceilings, and access to a western-facing balcony—ideal for a cozy retreat, library, or additional entertainment space. A hidden staircase leads to the third floor and attic, where a window frames stunning eastern views. This versatile space presents opportunities for a charming sleeping area or a secluded home office. Don’t miss the chance to own a remarkable piece of history in one of Florida’s most iconic cities.
