Breathtaking River Views from This High-and-Dry Waterfront Retreat! Experience true Florida waterfront living on the deep, navigable St. Johns River, just minutes to the ocean. Situated on over half an acre of high-and-dry land, this exceptional property offers peace of mind - the home has never flooded - along with breathtaking wide-open river views. Boaters will love the two private docks with deep water access, perfect for fishing, cruising, or heading out to the Atlantic. Outdoor living shines with a self-cleaning pool built in 2018, a four-person hot tub, landscape lighting, irrigation, and mature privacy shrubs that create a secluded, private oasis once you enter the driveway. A detached garage provides additional storage for vehicles or water toys. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath concrete block and frame home with Hardi siding offers a river view from many rooms. The main level features an updated kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, living and dining areas, a Florida room, laundry room, and a full bathroom. All bedrooms are located upstairs with a shared bathroom and are accessed by a spiral staircase, plus an exterior composite staircase with aluminum railing for added convenience. Major updates include a new roof in 2018 and full repipe in 2022. Ideally located on the sought-after Fanning Island in the North Florida Keys, just 3 minutes to the beach, 20 minutes to Amelia Island 20 minutes to Jacksonville International Airport, and close to boat ramps, state parks, great restaurants, and the St. Johns River Ferry - this home offers the ultimate riverfront lifestyle.
