The story
There are a lot of things you can upgrade when you build a home. But it's how those choices come together that really makes the difference. Welcome to 100 Dalton Mill Drive, a beautifully upgraded Toll Brothers Ella Craftsman home tucked near the back of gated Mill Creek Forest. Completed in early 2025, this 2,360-square-foot home sits on a preserve lot, with no CDD fees and plenty of thoughtful details that set it apart. From the moment you walk in, you can see the difference. Engineered wood flooring, smooth-finish walls, an upgraded stained oak staircase with open railings and a great room with a tray ceiling. But one of my favorite features is at the back of the home. The sliding glass doors are 12 feet wide and 8 feet tall, opening to an extended covered lanai and creating an incredible connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. There are a lot of things you can upgrade when you build a home. But it's how those choices come together that really makes the difference. And the kitchen? The owners didn't cut corners. Upgraded cabinetry, quartz countertops, a beautiful tile backsplash, separate cooktop and built-in wall oven. It's beautiful, functional and designed for people who actually use their kitchen. The primary bathroom is another standout, with a freestanding soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower with upgraded tile and coordinating matte-black fixtures. Add in a dedicated home office, an upstairs loft and the flexibility of a thoughtfully designed floor plan, and you've got a home that works just as well for everyday living as it does for entertaining. Beautiful finishes. Thoughtful design. Gated community. No CDD fees. And all within St. Johns County.
