Welcome home to this new construction cottage, one of eight detached residences in a boutique St. Johns community. Tucked away from the street, I offer a peaceful setting while remaining connected to neighboring cottages along a pedestrian path leading to the central walkway. Unlike many other new construction homes, I am not a condo and have no HoA; you own the underlying lot outright and have no additional monthly dues to worry about. Tall ceilings rise above a spacious great room combining the living, dining, and kitchen areas, while windows on multiple sides fill the main level with natural light. The connected layout makes it easy to relax, gather, and entertain around a kitchen featuring warm modern cabinetry, solid surface countertops, an extensive tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, generous storage and workspace. A main level half bath adds convenience, while the patio creates space for morning coffee, gardening, or evening relaxation. Two comfortable bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and conveniently placed laundry complete the upper level. Designer lighting, curated fixtures, and thoughtful storage add polish and practicality, while energy efficient mini splits provide zoned heating and cooling for year round comfort. With a 92 Bike Score, neighborhood favorites are easy to reach. Head to Pier Park for shaded trails, disc golf, pickleball, playgrounds, a skatepark, or summer afternoons at the outdoor pool. Bike downtown for a bite at John Street Café or Mikasa Sushi & Ramen, Saturday shopping at the St. Johns Farmers Market, groceries at Safeway, or a movie at the St. Johns Twin Cinema. Cathedral Park offers picnic spots, paved riverfront paths, a boat dock, and an off leash area beneath the St. Johns Bridge. Every detail reflects the vision of a multi-year Street of Dreams builder, blending elevated design with everyday livability and backing every home with an exceptional warranty. This is how your home was meant to be.
