226 Brown Bear Run

*Open House Sat 12-2* Some homes photograph well. This one lives well. The stone-accented craftsman exterior, paver driveway, and landscape lighting make a confident first impression, but it's the backyard that stays with people. A free-form pool with a raised tiled seat wall anchors a paver deck generous enough for a full outdoor dining setup, a lounge area, and a grill. A screened lanai offers shade when you want it, and a tree-lined backdrop past the fence gives the whole space a sense of privacy that's harder to find than people expect. Inside, the single-story plan is open where it should be and separate where it counts. The kitchen is the heart of it, two islands (one for prep, one for conversation), white cabinetry, a gas range, stainless appliances, and pendant lighting. It flows naturally into the family room, with sliders that open straight to the pool, a sunny breakfast nook, and a separate formal dining room for the occasions that call for one. The master suite offers a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. A second bedroom has its own en-suite bath, a proper guest suite, not an afterthought. Two additional bedrooms and a third full bath complete the plan, with genuine flex for a home office, media room, or hobby space. Three-car garage. No CDD fees. A-rated St. Johns County schools. Close to shopping, restaurants & Durbin Town Center. This one checks the boxes most buyers are still hunting for and then some.
