About this property
Walker House c1888-Nat'l Reg of Historic Places
Experience the allure of Henry Flagler's Gilded Age. Upon arrival you will be enamored with the home’s distinctive architecture and historic significance. Enter the Horace Walker House and encounter old world architecture and décor that are in perfect harmony with the luxurious and ultra-modern amenities. The Walker House along with the Casa Monica Hotel and Villa Zorayda, were built by notable architect Franklin Smith and are among the few Moorish Revival buildings in St. Augustine.
Live in the lap of luxury when you vacation in this completely and beautifully renovated historic home located in the heart of the Uptown neighborhood of Historic St Augustine. Just a short walk to the wonderful restaurants, galleries, historic sites and attractions.
Upon crossing the threshold of this beautifully and meticulously remodeled Moorish Revival home, you will be captivated by the delightful blend of modern luxury and historic charm. Built in 1888, this luxurious home features all high-end amenities and exudes character and charm. Beautiful architectural details and wooden heart pine floors remain original to the home, as well as wonderful large windows that allow an abundance of natural light throughout.
Sit back and relax in the fabulous grand living room which features, antique furnishings, large windows and doors framed in the original wide wooden molding with rounded corner pieces. For your entertainment and relaxation, a baby grand piano and smart TV grace the living room. The living room leads to a spacious dining room furnished with an eighteenth-century reproduction dining room set, consisting of a table, eight chairs and a cupboard. This is where the 19th century morphs into the 21st century. The dining room connects to a brand-new stunning chefs' kitchen with a wall of sliding glass doors spanning the entire length of the kitchen and dining room, which looks out onto an incredible entertainment space in the back yard.
Inspire your inner chef by whipping up a culinary delight in this brand-new fully equipped gourmet kitchen, with a large center island, featuring German cabinetry, quartz counters and backsplash, Miele gas range and convection oven, Miele microwave/convection and Liebherr refrigerator.
Offering a restful night’s sleep, all three luxe bedrooms feature king beds with premium linens, two nightstands, 3-way touch lamps with USB ports as well as smart tv’s and room darkening drapes. All bedrooms have large windows allowing plenty of natural light. Luxury abounds in the upstairs spacious primary suite with a large adjoining dressing room and an incredible brand new hi-end ensuite bathroom with a double sink vanity, an LED mirror, separate lavatory closet, 3 spray body shower, separate claw tub, and a lovely large private balcony with a chaise lounge for two. The second upstairs bedroom suite has a remodeled hi-end ensuite bathroom as well. The third bedroom is conveniently located downstairs on the main level with an adjacent modern bathroom with shower.
End your busy day of sightseeing by relaxing and chilling in your private fenced backyard oasis. Enjoy al fresco dining on the fabulous patio featuring a motorized louvred roof, an expansive summer kitchen with barbeque, sink and frig, a dining table that seats six and a separate cozy sitting area to gather and enjoy a drink. If you’re in the mood for golf, there is a three-hole putting green. For the ultimate relaxation, sit by the Solo smokeless gas fire pit and immerse yourself in its warm glow.
The home was purchased in 2022 and underwent an extensive construction project in which an entire wing was added to the back of the house.
