This charming South of Grand residence offers an array of features unusual for historic homes. The laundry has been conveniently relocated to the second floor, while the two-car attached garage provides easy access to a mudroom, perfect for transitioning from the outdoors. The open concept kitchen and family room feature a stunning double vaulted ceiling, enhancing the spaciousness. Beautiful hardwood floors grace most of the home. The finished lower level showcases a cozy family room adorned with vintage knotty pine, a built-in bar, and a fireplace. Recent updates in 2022 include a new roof, gutters, siding, furnace, and garage doors. Abundant natural light fills the house, and its placement on the lot ensures a private backyard oasis, complete with a saltwater pool visible from every room at the back of the home. Oversized windows provide year-round views of the pool and outdoor living spaces, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas. 3209 Saint Johns Road sits on a quiet cul-de-sac tucked into the neighborhood. Come experience a special opportunity.
