Room to gather, space to unwind, and a backyard that makes you want to linger—this distinctive four-bedroom RiverTown home brings warmth and personality to everyday living. Rich colors and thoughtful custom touches create an inviting atmosphere, while the beautifully flowing layout offers space for both togetherness and quiet retreats. The standout feature: the spacious PRIMARY SUITE IS DOWNSTAIRS! With views of the lush backyard, this peaceful retreat features a soaking tub, separate shower and a walk-in closet with custom shelving. A generously sized first-floor office provides a dedicated space for working from home, studying or pursuing creative projects. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, keeping everyone connected whether you're preparing dinner, helping with homework or hosting friends. Quartz countertops, a beautiful backsplash, gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances and double ovens combine style with everyday functionality. A walk-in pantry with custom wood shelving keeps everything organized, while a guest half bath, under-stair storage and plentiful storage throughout make daily life easier. Upstairs, a spacious loft offers a second gathering place for movie nights, games or relaxing. A custom built-in reading nook beside the window creates a charming spot to curl up with a favorite book. Three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upstairs, providing room to grow, welcome guests and make the space your own. The backyard feels like a little escape. A screened lanai opens to an extended paver patio made for outdoor dinners, weekend get-togethers and evenings around the fire pit. Lush grass, trees and thoughtfully planted greenery create a beautiful setting for play, birdwatching or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. It's an outdoor space you'll want to use, not just admire. Another stand out feature of this home is the unique tandem garage space. The extra deep design allows you to very comfortably park two vehicles plus a golf cart or small compact car. You could also use it as a flex space for a home gym, workshop, hang out spot, or simply extra storage! Life in RiverTown extends well beyond your own backyard. Three amenity centers bring resort-style recreation close to home: RiverHouse features a zero-entry pool with a corkscrew slide, separate lap pool, fitness center, yoga and dance studio, tennis and pickleball courts, and spaces for gatherings. RiverLodge offers a lazy river, pool and splash area, fitness center, sand volleyball and playground. At RiverClub, enjoy a riverfront zero-entry pool, RiverCafé, game room, fire pits, kayak launch, pirate-themed playground and amphitheater, with breathtaking St. Johns River sunsets as the backdrop. Throughout this golf-cart-friendly community, walking and biking trails wind among nature preserves, trees and ponds, connecting parks, playgrounds and dog parks. Community events, food truck Fridays and golf cart parades create opportunities to connect with neighbors, while Riverfront Park and its dock offer a beautiful place to end the day by the water. A downstairs primary suite, generous gathering spaces and a lush backyard retreat—all within a community that makes every day feel a little more like vacation. Come experience the warmth of this home in person. **Seller to provide up to a 1% closing cost credit if buyer utilizes seller's preferred lender.

Rivertown, located between the St. Johns River and Julington Creek, is a waterfront and residential Fruit Cove neighborhood with broad river views and oak-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Riverfront Park boat ramp area, where docks, fishing lines, and sunset walkers set the daily rhythm. Low-slung Florida ranch homes and newer builds sit on generous lots, with palms and live oaks shaping the streetscape. Life here tracks the water, from kayaks on calm mornings to pontoon boats idling near the shoreline. A short drive connects to local staples like Julington Creek Fish Camp, Alpine Groves Park, and the Bartram Trail Branch Library for dining, open space, and community programming.

The objective of a PUD is to encourage ingenuity, imagination and design efforts on the part of builders, architects, site planners, and Developers to produce Developments which may depart from the strict requirements of traditional zoning districts in return for a gain in aesthetic and functional design as compared with traditional zoning districts. Planned Unit Development districts shall be suitable in location, area, and character for the Uses and Structures proposed, and are to be planned and developed in a unified manner. Land proposed for Planned Unit Developments proposed shall comply with the Comprehensive Plan and may be located in all Future Land Use Districts except that residential development in the Rural/Silviculture R/S and Agricultural-Intensity A-I land use designations shall be in accordance with the Planned Rural Development PRD District.
