Some homes check boxes, this one at The Preserve at St. Johns rewrites them. From the moment you arrive, something feels different, and it should. This is the only Montauk II in existence built with 27 windows, eight of which you will find nowhere else. Light doesn't just enter this home. It lives here, moving through every room with the kind of warmth that makes square footage feel irrelevant. Set on a nearly quarter-acre private, preserve lot with tranquil canal views, this two-story split-level residence offers 4/5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a layout that was clearly designed by someone who understands that how a home flows is just as important as how it looks. The heart of the home announces itself immediately. Tray ceilings, custom millwork, and designer lighting set a tone that carries through every room without effort. The formal dining room, butler's pantry, and private wine room were built for the host who doesn't need an occasion. The gourmet kitchen delivers on every promise: an expansive 8.5' x 8' granite island, a farmhouse sink, pot filler, and cabinetry that makes you want to cook even if you don't. The owner's suite is where this home makes its most personal statement. Three additional windows found in no other model fill the space with the kind of light that turns ordinary mornings into something worth waking up for. The spa bath features a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, custom finishes, and a dramatic 9-foot glass panel European-style shower wall that brings five-star hotel energy to your daily routine. His-and-hers walk-in closets that are genuinely expansive complete the retreat. The additional bedrooms were designed with the same intention. The second bedroom has its own dedicated full en-suite, private, polished, and complete bath. Bedrooms three and four share a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bath, a thoughtful configuration that gives connected rooms their own sense of independence. Every wet area throughout the home is finished in floor-to-ceiling tile, seamless, spa-caliber, and built to last. A dedicated office/study and flexible gym space round out the main living areas, because a home at this level should serve every chapter of your life, not just the entertaining ones. Upstairs is where this home surprises you. The game and media room overlooking the preserve and canal has a full bath finished in floor-to-ceiling SATORE tile, complete with two full-panel body showers, 8 jets, and a rainfall head, is as ready to be a third en-suite bath or private guest sanctuary as it is a lounge. It is the room guests will talk about. Outside, over 1,400 square feet of covered lanai and an expansive paver patio create an outdoor living experience that feels complete even before the future 15 x 30 pool goes in, and the pre-plumbing is already done. The preserve backdrop and canal does what no landscaper can replicate. A UV advanced water softener system is installed and ready. The wet bar is pre-plumbed with hot and cold water and a full drain. The soffit lights and spacious front porch provide a serene setting perfect for enjoying coffee at sunrise or unwinding at sunset--an effortless extension of the home's living space. The details that matter most have already been handled.
