$270/sqft asking, vs a $221/sqft median across 2,395 closed sales in 32259 over the last 12 months — 22% above the area's closed prices. Condition and lot vary; that's what a showing is for.

Behind the manned gates of St. Johns Forest, this updated 6 bedroom, 4 bath residence spans more than 4,100 square feet and backs directly to a nature preserve. A private, wooded backdrop with sunset views and no rear neighbors. The home's main level features hardwood floors throughout and an extensively remodeled kitchen (2021) with quartz counters, gas range, center island, custom cabinetry and moldings. Dedicated spaces set this home apart: a private theater room with a 100-inch projection screen, a game room with wet bar, and a wine cellar. The primary suite includes a fully renovated spa-style bath (2025), and three additional baths were renovated in 2021. Generous closet space throughout keeps everything organized. The home's systems are as sound as the finishes. A new roof (2020), two new HVAC systems (2021), and a new gas water heater (2023) mean the major expenses are already handled. St. Johns Forest offers a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, roller hockey rink, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and walking trails, all within a manned, gated entrance. The home sits in St. Johns County School District, one of Florida's top-rated districts, and is minutes from shopping, dining, healthcare, and major commuter routes -- combining a quiet preserve setting with everyday convenience. From the theater and game room to the lanai overlooking the preserve, this home balances room to gather with space to retreat.
