157 River Marsh Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082

Property Description

$50,000 PRICE REDUCTION. It's all about the LOCATION! for this amazing home. Imagine starting the morning with the sound and scent of the coast just beyond your community, walking five minutes from your front door to Mickler's Beach, then returning home to a private pool, mature oaks, and the quiet beauty of River Marsh. Set within an intimate gated enclave of just 28 homes, 157 River Marsh is a distinctive, custom residence, in a location that turns coastal access into part of everyday life. Here, the best of Ponte Vedra Beach unfolds naturally around you - from morning sunrise walks along the shoreline, to afternoons on the water at Lake Guana, and peaceful evenings spent outside beneath the trees. Built by custom home builder JA Long in 2013 Set beneath a canopy of towering oaks, the home presents an arrival that immediately changes the pace of your day. Stepping inside, sunlight pours through the soaring spaces illuminating a dramatic staircase, formal living and dining areas, and an open-concept design that invites you to move easily from one room to the next. Artist-commissioned details, statement lighting, distinctive tilework, and carefully selected finishes give this residence an unmistakable sense of personality. Picture your dinners lingering long after the table has been cleared, your doors opening to the pool terrace, and your living spaces extending naturally outdoors as the afternoon gives way to evening. This kitchen is designed to be the gathering place, anchored by a substantial leather-granite island and finished with Thermador appliances, extended countertops, extensive cabinetry, and abundant storage. From morning coffee to a dinner prepared for friends, the space flows directly into the expansive family room, where large double sided sliding glass doors frame the pool and outdoor living area beyond. Open the doors and the home seems to exhale - the kitchen, family room, covered patio, pool terrace, and backyard becoming one continuous setting for an unhurried afternoon. A flexible additional space with direct outdoor access can be imagined as a home office or bar, adding another layer of versatility to the main living level. The first-floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat at the end of the day, with a spa-like designer bath and generously sized his-and-hers closets. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full baths create a flexible second level, including a guest suite with its own ensuite bathroom. A striking catwalk leads toward a private balcony, creating an elevated vantage point among the surrounding oaks. Throughout the home, custom bathrooms become design moments of their own, with unique tilework and statement lighting adding visual interest without sacrificing function. Outside is where this property's setting truly sets it apart. The unusually spacious front and rear yards give the home room to breathe, while the backyard is designed around a private pool and generous entertaining spaces. Imagine a slow afternoon poolside, a book beneath the oaks, or an evening gathering that carries naturally from the covered patio to the pool's edge. Beyond the backyard, River Marsh residents have access to a private dock on Lake Guana - a rare amenity that adds another dimension to the lifestyle here. Whether the day calls for paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply taking in the stillness of the water an outdoor adventure is always at your fingertips. Most importantly, this is a location that rewards you every time you leave the house. Mickler's Beach is approximately a five-minute walk away, putting miles of shoreline within easy reach without requiring a drive. Lake Guana offers waterfront experience through the community's private dock, while nearby dining, shopping, recreation, and everyday conveniences keep the rest of the Ponte Vedra Beach area close at hand. The result is a home that feels removed from the rush of everyday life while remaining connected to the places that make coastal living so compelling. 157 River Marsh is not simply near the beach, it is a home positioned to make the coast, the water, the outdoors a beautifully designed yet private part of the same experience.
