The St John's River like the Nile flows from south to north and is the longest river in Florida. The driveway leading to the "hidden garage" is lined with beautiful passion vines which produce large red passion flowers. The driveway has room for several cars. The front yard of this stately Colonial is accentuated by Irises and by a flower-lined winding walkway with the "centerpiece" being a mature Queen palm tree. The home on Isser Lane was built in 1985, but the three bathrooms and kitchen were updated a few years ago. There are beautiful Oak and tile floors throughout. The ceilings in the down stairs living, Florida, kitchen and dining rooms are enhanced by Colonial style custom crown molding throughout. The square footage of the home is slightly less than 3200 sq ft and the lot is a few feet less than one half acre. As you enter the front door and walk into the hardwood floor entry you see the formal dining room on the right featuring a beautiful chandelier, wainscoting and plantation style shuttered windows. On the left is a large living room with marble fireplace, built-in book cases, hardwood floor, plantation style shuttered windows and recessed lighting. There are double pocket doors leading into the kitchen and breakfast area. This room also leads through double French doors into a Florida room with two walls of windows looking out onto a tropical setting and the enclosed patio and large swimming pool. The oversized kitchen is a chefs delight with beautiful tile flooring, solid oak cabinets, recessed lighting in the ceiling and two wonderful skylights over a large center working isle with an electric range. There are also three large pantries in the kitchen area and a large eating area over which there is a lovely light fixture with a ceiling fan. As you travel down the hall to the downstairs guest bedroom you will see a very private suite that would be perfect for out-of-town guests, a mother-in-law suite or a hideaway for a teenager. The downstairs bath across from the bedroom is complete with tub and shower, tile floor and granite counter top. There is also a very large and spacious utility room for the washer and dyer. Up the oak staircase is the upstairs landing complete with oak floors, built-in book cases on both sides and a window seat overlooking the front yard. To the right at the top of the landing is a spacious master bedroom with two large windows, a large walk-in closet and a master bath. Down the upstairs hall are two other bedrooms. One bedroom is currently being used as an office. All upstairs bedrooms have walk-in closets with the master closet being approximately 12 feet deep with built-in storage shelves and hanging space. There are ceiling fans in each of the four bedrooms and all upstairs bedrooms have oak floors with the bath floors being tile. This home is great for entertaining and is perfect for a family. There is an updated ADT security system throughout the home and two air conditioner units. The enclosed patio is perfect for outdoor living, relax, swim or entertain in a very private tropical setting. This enclosed patio leads out onto another patio and an incredible back yard. Passion vines, bleeding heart vines, trumpet vines and jasmine cover much of the private wood fencing surrounding the property. In addition to the one in the front yard, there are five large Queen palm trees in the back. There are numerous fruit-bearing trees such as Loquat, Tangerine and Papaya. There are also numerous flowering trees and shrubs including several Gardenia, Oleander, Hibiscus, Mock Orange , Plumbago, Japanese Magnolia and three spectacular mature southern Magnolia trees. At one end of the enclosed patio is a tropical orchard of fruit bearing Banana trees. Several mature Bird of Paradise and large Elephant Ears in abundance surround the pool enclosure. Probably the most memorable sight in the back yard are several massive Oak trees. There is also a Playhouse, Slide and Swing Set in the back portion of the yard which is largely hidden by landscaping shrubs. This magnificent home is in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood and is surrounded by many beautiful and stately homes, Oak and Pine trees. Must see to fully appreciate!
