Nearly 2,700 square feet of wraparound decks provide elevated vantage points overlooking the canal and treetops, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and multiple areas for entertaining or quiet retreat.
From the private dock, launch your boat or jet skis and reach Julington Creek within minutes, enjoying convenient access to the St. Johns River and surrounding waterways.
The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 1,964 square feet of interior living space.
