No direct afternoon sun beating down. Just water views and the sound of the lake. This is the room that will change how you live. And that's just the screened-in porch!Inside, this home tells a story of owners who actually thought about how to live here. Almost every light fixture has been replaced or upgraded. You'll notice it immediately; the quality of light is different. Brighter, cleaner, more intentional.Handles and hinges throughout are now matte black. It's a small detail that makes everything feel curated and modern. Window treatments are installed in every single room.

Every bedroom has a ceiling fan. This isn't a fixer. This is a home that's been loved and maintained. Open-concept living flows across the eat-in kitchen with island, the family room with gas fireplace, and dining area. Separate home office off the foyer. But the real magic is the setting. Direct lakefront on 0.3 acres, this prime lot overlooks 64 acres of pristine lake. St. Johns Lake is one of those neighborhoods where you plant roots, not just buy. The community amenities are built for actual living: a pool for summer days, a clubhouse for gatherings, a dog run, and a playground.
