Looking for peace, privacy, and top-rated St. Johns County schools — without the restrictions of an HOA? Welcome to your dream home! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath Mallard Model by Ancient City Construction features one of their most popular open floor plans, offering 1,207 square feet of thoughtfully designed indoor living space just minutes from downtown Hastings. This move-in-ready home is packed with modern upgrades: 36'' cabinetry with crown molding, granite countertops throughout, chef island with drawers and cabinets, ceramic plank tile flooring, tiled showers, chrome fixtures in kitchen and black hardware and ultra-modern above-countertop glass bowl sinks in bathrooms, and a full stainless steel appliance package (stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher included) PLUS washer and dryer installed! This home also boasts an additional air conditioned versatile bonus space that can be an office or hobby room, just before the entrance to the covered deck and private fenced back yard. Situated on a mature, tree-lined large lot (.37 acre), the backyard is a fenced in private wooded retreat and since it's not a preserve, your imagination can run wild! Add a pool, build a fire pit, create wooded trails, or design a treehouse or cabana - the possibilities are endless. Additional features include city water and sewer. Enjoy a quiet, established neighborhood just 20 minutes from St. Augustine, with easy access to Palatka and I-95. Please drive down Main Street Hastings to see how close you are to downtown! The new library is going in directly across from where Cochran starts! Don't miss this rare find!
