luxury contemporary houses for sale St. Johns County, United States

Designed by an artist who cherished his time here, and now offered by the second owners after a decade of joyful living, this contemporary residence is a work of art in its own right. Set within a verdant, park-like landscape, mature plantings and graceful shade trees frame tranquil views from every room while ensuring wonderful privacy. A sun-filled, gated front courtyard is just the place for herb gardens, flowers and a secure outdoor haven for four-legged companions. Constructed of solid masonry with a smooth stucco finish, the home offers durability and low-maintenance ease, leaving more time to relax and pursue favorite pastimes. Inside, cool concrete floors extend throughout, complemented by soaring single-vault ceilings that enhance the home’s open, airy feel. The front room currently functions as an office and library but is easily converted to guest accommodations for overnight visitors. Across the foyer, a generous flex room opens via sliding doors to a little patio. Formerly an artist’s studio, it offers expansive wall space ideal for displaying art and would also make an exceptional home theater, gym, or bedroom. A full guest bath is conveniently nearby. At the center of the home, the great room unites the thoughtfully designed kitchen, dining area, and living space. Two walls of sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, connecting seamlessly to the yard and screened porch and creating a bright, inviting environment for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. The kitchen remains beautifully presentation-ready even during culinary pursuits, while a discreet floor-to-ceiling niche houses media equipment and provides space to showcase treasured objects. The spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring an en-suite bath and a private patio. The screened porch, an outdoor living room, invites year-round enjoyment, whether reading, dining, entertaining, or drifting off to the soothing sound of rain against the surrounding greenery. Just ten minutes from downtown and the West King corridor and a few more to the closest beach, artistry, privacy and convenience add up to a sweet spot indeed.
