STUNNING ARCHITECTURE in a WATERFRONT SETTING! St. Johns River Estates was built in the early 1970's along 3 canals, each about a block long, connected to the St. Johns River. Originally built in 1972, this home was re-designed and re-built in 1992 by Orlando architect, Allen Arthur. The front two bedrooms and bath, as well as the kitchen were retained and the new living space is up 3 steps, with the primary bedroom suite and screened porch up 3 more steps. Built to bring the outside in, the STUNNING REATROOM features a soaring, WHITE BEAMED, WOOD CEILING and 10 FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS. Completing the space is MARBLE TILE flooring and a WET BAR accented with imported Italian tiles. What a place to have a party! The primary bedroom offers a view to the River and access to the screened porch. Its wood ceiling is an echo from the greatroom with its white beams and tongue in groove ceiling. The ensuite bath is spacious with a big walk-in closet. Also on this level is the large screened porch, a lovely space cantilevered from the home toward the water and featuring a vaulted ceiling, lighting and fans. You will definitely be spending time here to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Exiting the screen porch brings you a LOVELY PAVED PATIO AND 65 FOOT DOCK along the canal. New pilings were installed in 2021 and the concrete seawall is in good shape. The original part of the home was completely remodeled in 2023. Wood flooring was installed in both bedrooms and the bathroom was re-done with high grade tile and fixtures. The kitchen was also remodeled with solid wood cabinetry, soft close drawers, under cabinet lighting, tile backsplash, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. On either side of the home is a private patio, perfect for quiet time or container gardening. The laundry room includes newer appliances. At the rear of the garage is a delightful 6 x 17 foot HOBBY/WORKROOM, complete with cabinets, a sink, lighting and a window. Other upgrades to the property are the commercial grade GENERATOR and whole house WATER PURIFICATION system. There is an abundance of storage available in this home, including 3 attics, large closets and extra cabinetry in the laundry room, hobby room and garage.
