With 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the layout offers flexibility for how you live, gather, and unwind. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level create easy, comfortable living, while three bedrooms upstairs offer space to spread out. At the center of the home, the kitchen is filled with natural light and looks out onto something truly special, a lush, established organic permaculture garden. This is not just a yard, but a thriving urban food forest with apple, peach, pear, plum, persimmon, jujube, raspberry, huckleberry, and more. A space to slow down, harvest, and connect to the rhythm of the seasons. Recent updates including new flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms, updated appliances, attic insulation, fresh exterior paint, and new windows bring ease to daily living while still leaving room to make it your own. Outside, alley access and a flexible backyard create opportunity for gathering, projects, or expansion. A dedicated pad for a tiny home, 50-amp hookup, and additional power for a sauna or greenhouse support a lifestyle that blends creativity, sustainability, and possibility. The basement offers additional potential with a legal egress window and separate exterior electrical access, opening the door for future living space or dual living, buyer to verify. Just minutes from Pier Park, Cathedral Park, Forest Park, and the shops, cafes, and local favorites that define the St. Johns vibe, this home offers a rare balance of charm, community, and connection to nature. A home that invites you to live simply, gather often, and grow something meaningful. [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10227309]
