Property Description
Completed in April 2026, the pool showcases a sophisticated deep-blue finish, integrated spa, sun shelf, heat/cool pump, and propane gas heater. The generously sized screened enclosure extends your living space outdoors, with room for lounging, dining, and entertaining. A gas connection on the lanai keeps your outdoor cooking setup convenient.
Inside, five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and approximately 2,900 square feet offer flexibility for guests, working from home, and everyday living. Updated flooring throughout complements a kitchen featuring professionally upgraded cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a gas cooktop. A gas fireplace adds warmth, while the oversized three-car garage provides generous space for vehicles, storage, and hobbies.
Beautiful updates come with practical peace of mind: a NEW roof in 2022, NEW A/C in 2023, tankless water heater in 2021, and water softener in 2024. Modern exterior colors, freshly painted in 2023, complete the home's refreshed look. Laundry connections accommodate a gas or electric dryer.
Set along Kensington's tree-lined streets, this home offers the charm of an established neighborhood with NO CDD fees and low HOA fees. Community amenities include a pool, playground, tennis and pickleball courts, and a basketball court. Zoned for A-rated Palencia Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle, and Allen D. Nease High School, with the added convenience of walking to the elementary school and nearby baseball fields for practice. Shopping, dining, historic downtown St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and the beaches are all within convenient reach.
With the updates already done and your backyard retreat waiting, the only thing left is to make it yours.
