188 Torcido Blvd

Welcome home to this stunning property situated on a fully fenced, lake to preserve, lot at the end of a private cul-de-sac. From the moment you enter the designer gated courtyard with its topiaries and the calming sounds emanating from the Lion Fountain, you know you can expect luxury throughout this beautiful home. The foyer hallway and most of the living area is graced with Wainscot and the open Great room allows for everyone to be included when socializing, which is surely what was in mind when this 5BR/5BA home was designed. The house boasts 3 generous sized BRs and BAs w/ Den, plus an additional upstairs Bonus Suite and a Multi-Generational suite with its own K, LR, BR, BA & 1 car Garage. The huge Gourmet Kitchen is graced with granite, designer backsplash tile, upgraded SS appliances, pantry and a center island with bar seating. It flows into the ample Dining space leading to the extended Screened Porch. A retractable awning with new fabric allows bird watching & relaxing, no matter the weather or how hot the sun is beating down. The awning functions with a remote control, or a crank and even retracts itself if the winds get above 25 MPH. Getting to the porch from the outside is easy with the Paver sidewalks that were added after the home was built. The home is located in Palencia, a convenient neighborhood between St Augustine and Jacksonville. Its recreational amenities include golf, tennis, 3 pools, fitness center, athletic fields and a 30 acre park system. The Palencia Club with separate membership offers an Arthur Hill designed golf course, tennis courts, a gym, event space, and three restaurants. There is so much to offer in this neighborhood that it is hard to list it all. Come and view this home as quickly as possible, you will not be disappointed. Dual A/C systems. LR & DR window treatments do not convey. THIS HOME CANNOT CLOSE PRIOR TO MAY 30, 2024.
