HISTORIC DISTRICT ~ Walk Everywhere ~ Free Parking!

Everyone recognizes this overwhelmingly cheerful burst of sunshine reigning from its corner perch across Lake Maria Sanchez. It's a classic in a city known for its vast and exciting range of architectural styles spanning well over a century!
Sure, here's the revised text:

With a nod to its history, many original details are still intact and can be admired from the sunny living room that stretches across the width of the house. Federal moldings adorn the windows, picture molding is ready for art, and the stained-glass panes create beautiful rainbows in the room. Natural light reflects off the wooden floor, brightening the room all day long, offering views of the glistening water and the birds gliding over the lake. The cottage, built in 1860, is situated across from Lake Maria Sanchez and is a neighbor to St. Augustine's historic Gonzalez-Alvarez House; it's widely recognized as the Yellow Cottage by the locals. It has been featured in books, paintings, and films by residents and visitors. Once a part of the historic Valencia Hotel Group, the cottage has been cherished and preserved for over a century.

After enduring the passage of time, 50 St. Francis Street has undergone a thorough renovation and still stands proudly as a gem in the oldest city in our nation. The cobblestone bricks leading to the front door are certain to enchant all of its visitors!

Upon entering through the front door, you will immediately notice the pride of ownership evident in every corner of this home. From the antique mahogany mantel surrounding the living room fireplace to the expanded opening that seamlessly connects the rooms, every detail exudes quality. The high-end kitchen features GE Café appliances, including a dual-fuel oven, dishwasher, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, and microwave. Custom granite countertops and cabinets with glass pane doors enhance the space. The dining room boasts a built-in corner dining bench, creating an open floor plan. The bedroom is equipped with a custom walk-in closet and double French doors leading to a Juliet deck. The bathroom showcases a custom corner vanity, a spacious walk-in shower, and beautiful custom tile work. This historic one-bedroom, one-bathroom home has been fully renovated inside and out, combining historic charm with modern convenience.

The Yellow Cottage, an iconic gem in the historic district, was constructed in 1860.
