3172 LITTLE KERN Lane **3172 Little Kern Ln, Jacksonville, FL 32226 | Alta Lakes** 4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3-car garage Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Alta Lakes, this 2020-built D.R. Horton home delivers exactly what today's buyers are looking for: an open, flowing layout, a kitchen built for gathering, a true owner's retreat, and outdoor living space that extends the home year-round. Step through the leaded glass front door into a bright, welcoming foyer that opens to a spacious living area. The kitchen is the heart of the home -- a large island, deep farmhouse sink, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast nook, all flowing seamlessly into the great room. Stacked sliding glass doors lead out to the screened lanai, creating the kind of indoor-outdoor connection buyers keep asking for. The split floor plan puts privacy first: the owner's suite is a peaceful escape with an accent wall, tray ceilings, bay windows, separate his-and-hers walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a large tiled shower with frameless glass. A full guest suite sits on the opposite side of the home, with two additional bedrooms sharing a third bath. Light wood-look tile runs through the main living areas, with LVP flooring throughout the rest of the home -- durable, low-maintenance, and on-trend. The oversized 3-car garage (with epoxy-coated floors) and a large, fenced backyard with peaceful nature views round out a home that checks the boxes buyers care about most: move-in-ready style, real storage, flexible living space, and room to entertain. This location puts you close to it all, with an easy commute to Mayport Naval Station and NAS Jax, plus a quick drive to the beaches, historic parks, downtown Jacksonville, and the football stadium. Resort-style community amenities include a pool with a kids' splash pad, a fully equipped gym, pickleball courts, a soccer field, and bike riding lanes -- everyday resort living, right outside your door. This home won't sit long -- schedule your showing today and make it yours.
