or a cool $1,645,000, you could be the proud owner of St. Augustine's iconic Pillars Castle, affectionately known as the "pink castle." Originally priced at almost $1.7 million, this historic residence has seen a price drop of $50,000. Located at 16 May St., the three-story Pillars Castle boasts four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and is just a short distance from the Vilano Bridge and downtown's rich history.

    Built in 1922 by renowned American sculptor C. Adrian Pillars as his home and studio, this 4,495-square-foot castle showcases the artist's eclectic tastes through its original decor, reflecting the grandeur of a bygone era. The current owners, who purchased the property in 2021 as a vacation home and part-time Airbnb for group stays and weddings, have preserved its historical charm while updating modern amenities.

    The Pillars Castle features an impressive array of special touches, including a great hall, formal dining room, chef's kitchen, mother-in-law suite, custom bar, pool table, and private outdoor patio. Original stained-glass windows, coffered ceilings, and stone fireplaces add to the castle's charm, along with artwork that is included in the sale. The landscaped courtyard boasts a fountain and gated rear-entry, accommodating off-street parking, a detached two-car garage, covered carport, and driveway exiting through the back of the property.
