Welcome to your slice of paradise in the heart of Mandarin! This stunning, 4-bedroom, 2- bathroom home is a rare gem. Situated in a well-established neighborhood on a peaceful, dead- end road, you will enjoy tranquility and privacy while living near all that Jacksonville has to offer! As you approach this charming residence, you'll notice the healthy, 7-year-old avocado tree, and the NEW retaining wall and captivating landscaping features. Grass is already growing back over the brand-new septic drain field and should be lush and green in no time with all these afternoon showers! Add a rocking chair - or three - to your massive covered front porch and rock your worries away as you enjoy the hummingbirds, hawks, bluebirds, butterflies, and more after a long day. As you step inside, you are greeted with an open-concept living space and a split bedroom floorplan allowing for a seamless flow from room to room, yet creating the perfect balance of privacy and functionality. The bright and airy kitchen boasts modern appliances, a lazy susan style cabinet, a deep- shelved pantry, and ample granite countertops for joyful cooking. From the kitchen, you can't miss the updated laundry room - its every chore doer's dream! The wall-to-wall, hand-rubbed polyurethane, butcherblock folding table makes doing laundry enjoyable and efficient. Gaze at the light as it dances off your marble, hexagon shaped tile backsplash as you hang your delicate's on the steam-punk inspired hanging rod affixed to plenty of upper cabinets to tuck away all of your cleaning supplies. And the custom-built center shelving unit conveniently SLIDES OUT for easy access. It is also where a lot of little ones can be found during hide-and-seek! As you make your way through the open living area and into the owner's suite, you will immediately notice the craftsmanship of the master closet. As you step under the crystal chandelier, you will be surrounded by rich, honey-wood tones as you decide what you will wear for the day. Every inch of the closet's storage capacity has been harnessed with height- customizable shoe shelves, a well-lit set of corner shelves, his and her clothes bars, and a special dress-height bar with enough room above to store your luggage. The backyard is surrounded by a custom-built, board-on-board, 8 ft. privacy fence. Flanking each side of the house, are custom gates with 11 feet of clearance, so you can park recreational vehicles up to 40 ft. on either side of your back yard without ever paying a storage fee and no HOA to complain! Once outside, immerse yourself in your very own backyard retreat featuring an in-ground pool, fire pit, butterfly garden, and fully functional OUTDOOR KITCHEN with fridge, sink, flat top, and propane burners! Utilize the raised garden beds to feed your family all the fruits and veggies you can imagine to grow, while also enjoying the edible landscaping of blueberries, grapes, raspberries, and citrus fruits you can harvest for seasons to come. Sunbathe on the now extended upper pool deck or enjoy lunch by the added fire pit and lower entertaining patio. Pop up a projector screen and enjoy movies with the family poolside, make s'mores fireside, enjoy coffee with the birds, and "glamp" right in your own backyard!
