Single-story, four bedrooms, & a 2024 roof, let's start there, because that's the stuff that actually matters. Tucked into Samara Lakes with a wooded preserve behind the back fence, this 2,085 sq ft one-story home gives you privacy you don't usually get at this price. Inside, it's an easy split floor plan: four real bedrooms, two baths, plus a flex room that's begging to be your office, playroom, or ''please-let-me-have-five-minutes'' room. The kitchen anchors the home with granite counters, stainless appliances, a subway-tile backsplash, and warm cherry cabinets -- open to the living area so the cook's never stuck missing the conversation. There's a formal dining room up front and a sunny breakfast nook off the kitchen with sliders out to the screened lanai. The owner's suite sits private on its own side, with a bay window, tray ceiling, double-vanity bath, and a separate walk-in shower. Three more bedrooms give you room for family, guests, or that office you keep promising yourself. Out back is the real love story: a screened lanai flows to an extended paver patio with a built-in seat wall, all backing to trees. Morning coffee, evening fire, weekend cookout it's ready. And Samara Lakes brings the extras: community pool and splash area, playground, fitness center, and sport courts so there's always somewhere to send the kids (or the energy). Roof 2024. Gutters. No CDD. A-rated St. Johns County schools. Come see it before someone else calls it home.
