MOTIVATED SELLER! If you’ve been considering new construction, this home is worth a closer look. Purchased new in 2024 and added upgraded features throughout including all hardware and fixtures, water softener/filtration system, attic access, etc. FLOOD ZONE X- no flood insurance required. Set on a peaceful preserve lot in St. Augustine Lakes, this single-story home combines an easy, open layout with a sense of warmth that’s often missing from brand-new builds. The main living spaces flow naturally from kitchen to dining to living area, with natural light pouring in and a quiet, private backdrop just beyond the windows. The kitchen is clean and functional in all the right ways: quartz countertops, white cabinetry, stainless appliances, a large island, and a walk-in pantry, opening directly to the main living space so everything feels connected. One of the standout features here is the flexibility. In addition to four bedrooms, there’s a dedicated office/flex room. The owner’s suite is tucked away for privacy, with a spacious walk-in closet and a well-designed bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms give you room to spread out, host guests, or grow into the space. Where this home really pulls ahead of builder inventory is in the details. The current owner has already done the work: upgraded lighting, hardware, accent walls, and installed a high end Liberty Pure water softener and whole-home filtration system, adding comfort, quality, and peace of mind. Tile flooring runs through the main areas for durability and style, and the more mature landscaping gives the home a finished, established feel from the moment you arrive. Out back, the screened-in lanai makes all the difference offering a comfortable place to enjoy the preserve views year-round without the bugs, whether it’s morning coffee or winding down in the evening. You also get the practicality: a 2-car garage, dedicated laundry room, and the peace of mind that comes with a nearly new home. St. Augustine Lakes continues to be one of the area’s most in-demand communities, with convenient access to top-rated St. Johns County schools, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. Inventory here is tightening, and homes with this level of finish and setting don’t come up often. Thoughtfully priced to reflect its upgrades and preserve setting, while remaining competitive with current offerings in the community.
