Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully updated turn of the century home that perfectly blends historic charm with modern comforts. A beautiful covered front porch, featuring elaborate Victorian spindle trim, welcomes you in through a solid wood antique front door. From the moment you enter, you'll be captivated by the original character showcased in the amazing open staircase (WOW factor!), high ceilings, unique built-ins, pocket door, and meticulously restored hardwood floors. The spacious living room features large windows for an abundance of natural light, and a gas fireplace with tile surround and wood mantel. French doors lead to a flex room that the current owners are using as a den, but could be used as a child's playroom, office, or a first-floor 4th bedroom. The thoughtfully updated kitchen and bathrooms offer contemporary convenience while honoring the home's classic aesthetic. You'll appreciate the butler's pantry with tons of additional cabinetry, and the convenient first floor laundry/half bath. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, including a primary with 2 walk-in closets, and a spacious updated bathroom. You'll have options for relaxing spaces here, including the 3 seasons room that features beautiful cedar plank flooring and 3 walls of windows, the covered side porch facing the sunrises, or the large covered front porch. Additional features include a detached garage, new roof in 2020, and spectacular landscaping! This home is conveniently located within walking distance to the shopping and restaurants in downtown St Johns. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history with all the right updates!
