Description

There isn't another home like this in Markland as it's a custom-built Arthur Rutenberg home, one of Florida's most respected names in custom homebuilding. This 1 story, 4 bedroom, 3 bath residence with a dedicated office & formal dining room sits on a 93-foot estate lot overlooking the water. A columned portico entry, octagonal bay, & expansive paver driveway set it apart from the moment you pull up. Step through the double glass front doors & your eye travels straight across the home & out to the lake, a water view that anchors the entire main living space. Inside, the custom character is immediate: tray ceilings, rich crown molding, graceful columns, & arched niches, with wood-look laminate flooring flowing through the main living areas. At the heart of the home, the open floor plan includes the kitchen, breakfast room, & family room anchored by a stacked-stone gas fireplace. Built for those who cook & entertain, the kitchen features a large island, gas cooktop, built-in wall oven & microwave, walk-in pantry, lighted glass-front cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, reverse-osmosis & soft-close cabinetry throughout. Triple pocket sliders in the family room & additional sliders off the breakfast nook disappear into the wall, connecting the living space to an expansive screened paver lanai made for entertaining with 2 covered areas & a soaring screen enclosure framing the lake beyond. The Master Suite opens to the lanai as well & a fully fenced backyard runs to the water's edge. This is Florida indoor-outdoor living the way it's meant to be. The Master Suite offers a tray ceiling with a bay window framing the water, private lanai access, 2 custom built-in closets, & a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a garden soaking tub & a frameless walk-in shower tiled to the ceiling with a niche. A private guest suite sits behind its own door with a full bath, ideal for family or guests, while 2 additional bedrooms share another full bathroom. Additional highlights include an all-natural-gas community with tankless gas water heater, whole-home water softener & garage attic pull-down stairs. All within the gates of Markland, amenities include a pool, pickleball & basketball courts, fitness center, playground, dog park, & zoned for St. Johns County's nationally top-rated schools. Single-level living, on an estate lot on the water & one of the area's most sought-after gated addresses. This one stands entirely on its own.
