The back yard is really the front! Don't judge this home from the street as it was designed to take complete advantage of its premiere riverfront location just North of Mile Marker 99 on the St Johns River. With 95 ft of direct water frontage it overlooks a protected natural setting across the river that will never be built on and is home to many types of wildlife. Bass, crappie, catfish and brim are plentiful and can even be caught right off your own dock! The new custom dock features a 10,000 lb boat lift and floating dock. The lift and slip will accommodate up to a 26-28 ft boat. Water depth at dock is approx 18 ft and you will find a sandy bottom as not many have. You could even tie up a sailboat. The channel in the river's center is approx 30 ft. At the beginning of the dock, a multi-level deck sitting on land has place to sit and enjoy the sunsets and even a fish cleaning area for the day's catch.
The house sits up high and dry while the backyard slopes slightly down the riverbank that has coquina riprap on the shore. The decking around the house and the wall of newer impact windows offer many locations to relax and enjoy the wonderful ever changing views on the water and wildlife around.
The upstairs loft makes a wonderful office space plus a relaxation or additional entertaining area to visit with friends. For convenience, a wet bar is built into the loft as well. Inside finishes include upgraded lighting fixtures and ceiling fans, tiled backsplash in kitchen, gorgeous granite in kitchen, island bar and both bathrooms. Upgraded appliances found in kitchen that includes a SmartOven, warming drawer and beverage refrigerator.
