As the early tide rolls in, drop your kayak into Robinson Creek and paddle out to the Intracoastal Waterway right from your backyard! Ideally situated in the much-desired Madeira community, this better-than-new Stokes plan by MasterCraft boasts numerous upgrades and improvements including coffered ceilings, designer lighting, plantation shutters, electrically-controlled shades, and engineered oak floors in the bedrooms and flex room. The sophisticated open kitchen features stacked white shaker cabinets, a stainless gas cooktop, built-in ovens, a stainless farmhouse sink, and gorgeous quartz countertops. Relax in the luxurious owners suite complete with dual backlit vanity mirrors and an oversized frameless glass shower enclosure. A convenient mudroom off the garage is complemented by shiplap accents and a custom-made wood bench. Downsizing or a shop-a-holic? No need to worry with a full staircase leading from the garage to a generous attic storage area. Step out back to the covered lanai leading to an extended paver patio with screened enclosure where you can relish ever-changing views of the tidal marsh frequented by egrets, herons, and roseate spoonbills. On cooler evenings, entertain guests creekside at the custom brick fire pit with built-in seating. The classic farmhouse elevation features rustic architectural design elements, brick accents and a welcoming covered front porch. And enjoy peace of mind with energy-efficient 2"x6" construction; James Hardie siding; a tankless gas water heater; separate irrigation meter; and an Aquasure water softener system. Also, HDTV and High Speed Internet are included with the HOA. In addition, the Madeira Residents Club offers a swimming pool with lap lanes, fitness center, and comfortable clubhouse where neighborhood gatherings and social activities are often hosted. This gated intracoastal front community is unique for its lush natural environment, including over 600 acres of marsh wetlands, a tidal creek, numerous lakes, and preserved natural areas, all just 3 miles north of historic downtown St. Augustine and only 4 miles from the beach!
