Imagine coming home to nearly 1.5 acres of peaceful privacy in the heart of St. Johns--where the only thing you'll hear from your backyard is the occasional splash of a bass in your own stocked pond. Better yet, you'll enjoy all of this in one of the area's few communities with NO CDD fees and an incredibly low $200 per year HOA. As you step through the front door, you're welcomed by a warm, inviting layout. To your right, the formal dining room is ready for holiday dinners and celebrations, while to your left, French doors open to a versatile room that makes the perfect home office, guest room, or flex space. Continue inside and the home opens beautifully into the main living areas, where large windows immediately draw your attention to the sparkling pond beyond. Whether you're preparing dinner in the open-concept kitchen, relaxing in the family room, or enjoying your morning coffee, you'll have peaceful water views as your backdrop. The thoughtfully designed split floor plan keeps everyone comfortable, with the primary suite and three additional bedrooms all located downstairs. Tucked away for privacy, the primary suite feels like its own retreat. Wake up to tranquil pond views, then step outside to the screened lanai where mature trees lining the opposite side of the water create an incredibly private setting--making it feel as though nature is your only neighbor. As you relax on the screened lanai, you're not just looking out over the pond--you own beyond it. The property extends through the water and into the mature trees on the opposite shoreline, creating a stunning natural backdrop and the reassurance that your private views are protected. Upstairs, a massive bonus room with its own full bathroom offers endless flexibility. Whether you need a spacious fifth bedroom, an incredible playroom, media room, home gym, or the ultimate man cave, this space is ready to adapt to your lifestyle. Every bedroom throughout the home is generously sized, and you'll never find yourself wishing for more storage thanks to the abundance of closet and storage space throughout. Fresh interior paint and new carpet gives the home a clean, updated feel, while major improvements--including a whole-house generator installed in 2021 and a 2-year-old A/C system--provide comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Roof is from 2015 Homes that offer this much land, privacy, and natural beauty in the heart of St. Johns are incredibly hard to find. Add in the rare combination of NO CDD fees, a $200 annual HOA, and a setting that feels like your own private retreat, and you'll quickly understand why this is a place you'll never want to leave.
