Named for the Mandarin orange in 1830, this neighborhood on the St. Johns River was once described as “a tropical paradise” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Mandarin is characterized by its magnificent oak trees hung with dramatic, Spanish moss and boasts some of the best views of the St. Johns River in greater Jacksonville. Once an important river port for shipping oranges and other citrus fruits northward, today Mandarin is a blend of residential areas and shopping centers and is one of the most sought after areas for those searching for homes for sale in Jacksonville, Florida.
Tucked away in a secluded neighborhood just off Mandarin road, a canopied, tree lined street, is the small community of Crusselle Cove. Here you will find this beautiful home offering many one of a kind features including wide plank Santos Mahogany harwood flooring, a unique splitter stone granite custom backsplash in the gourmet kitchen, complete with stainless appliances, a Jennair induction range and built in convection oven and microwave. Those that enjoy cooking and entertaining may discover this wonderful home is perfect!
You'll also enjoy a functional, open floor plan with formal dining and living rooms, a family room with fireplace and a large upstairs bonus room with full bath that makes a fantastic theatre and game room. There's a relaxing, covered lanai just off the breakfast nook as well as a courtyard entry, three car garage providing safe storage for all the large toys.
This wonderful Mandarin home has much left for you to discover but you must see it in person. Contact us today, we'll be happy to show it to you.
