About this home

City Of St Augustine

Experience historic luxury at 290 St. George St, the former personal residence of famed architect Fred Henderich. Masterfully reimagined by John Benoit of BEHST Builders, this estate seamlessly fuses 1900s ''Old World'' soul with 21st-century sophistication. Positioned on a rare 62.5x200 lot stretching from St. George to Cordova St, the property offers stunning Lake Maria Sanchez views and parking for 10+ cars. The main home radiates light, showcasing original woodwork, coffered ceilings, and a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry and a butler's door. The primary downstairs suite features floor to ceiling tile work, a tub and a walk-in shower, flowing into a sunlit morning room. Upstairs, find a nautical suite complete with a steam shower. Beyond a private sanctuary, this estate is a lucrative asset. The detached cottage is a designer showstopper with a vaulted living area and private lakefront verandas. Perfectly positioned as a high-end luxury rental in the heart of St. Augustine.

• Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
• In CDD communities (Nocatee, SilverLeaf, eTown…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill — the tax estimate above reflects county averages, so confirm this home’s exact CDD with us.
• Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be.

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 1,595 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.

Storms & insurance

Florida Reality Check

The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.

Flood zone not yet determined

Check the exact parcel at msc.fema.gov or ask Krista to pull it.

Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.

Evacuation zone not yet determined

Check floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone.

Roof: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 1900)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Solar potential: ~1,685 usable sun-hours per year

A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
