## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to waterfront living in the heart of Mandarin with NO HOA and 4-6 foot-deep navigable canal with direct connection to Julington Creek and the St. Johns River. Enjoy canal and creek views from inside the home or while relaxing on the upper or lower outdoor deck! ***** Recent Improvements Include: -Brand New First-Floor Flooring (February 2026) -New A/C System (December 2024) -New Roof (November 2024) -New Garage Doors (May 2024) ******** Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this distinctive octagon-shaped home sits along a naturally preserved canal surrounded by mature trees and tranquil water views, offering both privacy and effortless connection to open water. The main living area and upper level are designed with architectural inspiration reminiscent of a lighthouse, featuring soaring ceilings, multiple skylights and an abundance of natural light. 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. The main level includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms with bright, open living areas, while the lower level features a private bedroom, full bath and spacious family room with direct waterfront access, ideal for guests, multigenerational living or additional flexible space. From quiet mornings to spontaneous sunset cruises, expansive outdoor decks for entertaining create the perfect setting where boating, relaxing and waterfront living naturally become part of everyday life.
