Welcome to 1003 Searles Estate Drive St. Johns and discover this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home. As you step through the front door, you'll be greeted by a spacious living room with an inviting fireplace—the perfect centerpiece for cozy gatherings. The kitchen, dining room and owner's suite and bedrooms are on the first floor along with a beautiful Sunroom letting in lots of natural light.
The lower level offers even more potential with a bar area, a family room, and a flexible recreational room that could easily be converted into a 4th bedroom. An almost finished half-bath and ample storage space round out the basement's features. While the seller heard that a previous plumbing leak caused some water issues, professional flood cleanup and remediation look to be completed. However, a full restoration was not pursued, leaving room for you to customize this space to fit your needs. Additionally, the basement half-bath just needs some TLC for full functionality.
Outside, you'll find a fully fenced backyard, perfect for pets or outdoor activities, along with a small shed for extra storage. This property is part of an estate sale and is being offered as-is, providing a fantastic opportunity for buyers to bring their own vision to life.
Located less than 2 miles from the US-27 on-ramp and close to downtown St. Johns, this home offers both convenience and potential for future improvements. Please note, lot lines are estimated, and some photos have been virtually staged.
