8696 HOMEPLACE Drive Tucked inside Old Still, a small and distinctive gated community, this elegant 3, 246 sq. ft. residence sits on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood and offers private preserve views, a main-level primary suite, and designer upgrades throughout. Enjoy a large, fully fenced backyard backing to woods, a covered lanai for outdoor living, and an oversized tandem three-car garage-all just minutes from shopping, dining, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and area beaches. The living spaces are exceptionally open while remaining thoughtfully defined, with a spacious living room, breakfast area, and gourmet kitchen flowing seamlessly together. The kitchen features a large quartz island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas cooktop, wall ovens, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry. Expansive windows and sliding doors connect the living areas to the covered lanai and tranquil preserve views. The welcoming front porch offers two distinct ways to enter-a formal entry into a dramatic two-story foyer, and a secondary owner's entry with custom built-in storage designed for everyday ease. This level also includes a private office and a formal dining room, with the office offering excellent flexibility for a guest suite or additional bedroom if desired. The primary suite features two spacious walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, tiled shower, and abundant natural light. A half bath and a well-appointed laundry room complete the layout. Upstairs includes two additional bedrooms (one en-suite), a hall bath, a generous bonus room, and a loft nook overlooking the foyer. Additional highlights include wood-look tile flooring in main living areas, designer lighting, ceiling fans throughout, matching pavers on the front porch and lanai, and numerous recent upgrades including a tankless water heater, professional landscaping, whole-home air filtration, reverse osmosis water system, water softener, and gutters. A truly exceptional residence offering privacy, architectural presence, and refined living at every turn.
