Welcome to a beautiful expression of Florida living in the prestigious gated community of Palencia. This exceptional four-bedroom, three-full-bath brick home with dedicated office is ideally located on .24 acre preserve homesite surrounded by mature trees & lush tropical landscaping. Offering a rare combination of privacy, sophistication, & inviting indoor-outdoor living, this home captures the best of the Palencia lifestyle. The first impression upon entering is one of space and warmth, with rich wood floors and an impressive sense of scale setting the tone for a home designed for both entertaining and everyday life. Formal living & dining areas bring a sense of occasion, while the dedicated office provides a tucked-away space when you need it. At the heart of the home, the well-appointed kitchen features quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, a butcher-block island, breakfast bar seating, Samsung Bespoke French-door refrigerator and Bosch five gas cooktop with vented hood. Open to the breakfast cafe, family room & outdoor living spaces, the kitchen is designed for effortless everyday living & entertaining.

Two additional bedrooms share a recently remodeled Jack-and-Jill bath, while one of the bedrooms features a charming twin Murphy bed with built-in bookcase (perfect for guests, hobbies, or flexible living). Numerous thoughtful improvements have been completed throughout the home in recent years, with a detailed list of updates available upon request. Outside, the home truly comes into its own. An expansive paver patio, enclosed and glassed-in just one year ago, creates an exceptional extension of the living space. The fully fenced backyard overlooks a heavily wooded preserve, offering a peaceful, park-like setting and exceptional privacy. Evenings around the firepit beneath the pergola, surrounded by twinkling lights and lush landscaping, create a private outdoor retreat that feels worlds away. And then there is Palencia where the lifestyle is every bit as special as the home. Residents enjoy multiple pools (one with big slide), fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, fishing pier, miles of walking and jogging trails, parks, playgrounds, and a private championship golf course. Conveniently located near historic St. Augustine, beautiful beaches, outstanding shopping and dining, and top-rated schools, this exceptional property offers elevated Florida living where luxury, nature, and lifestyle come together beautifully.
