Welcome home to 832 Riley Lane, a brick single-story home on a generous 0.27-acre lot in Oak Common, one of Palencia's most sought-after neighborhoods behind the guard gate.  Built in 2004, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,749 sq ft of living space, all on one level. Inside, the layout gives everyone room to spread out. The formal living and dining spaces work well for hosting holidays and dinner parties, and the family room is anchored by a cozy fireplace for cooler Florida evenings. The spacious kitchen opens to the family room and features abundant cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and a sunny eat-in nook, so the cook is never left out of the conversation.  The owner's suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and a spa-style bath featuring dual vanities, a garden tub, and a separate shower. Three more bedrooms and two more full baths give you flexibility for guests, a home office, a hobby room, or a gym. With a third full bath, overnight visitors get their own space.  Outside, the classic brick exterior and hip roof give the home timeless curb appeal. You'll find two covered porches for relaxing outdoors, one of them a rear porch overlooking the large, private backyard, with plenty of room for a pool, a garden, or a play area. The oversized lot is over 11,700 sq ft, and there's an attached 2-car garage with extra storage.  Life in Palencia: This award-winning, guard-gated community sits along the Intracoastal Waterway in northern St. Johns County. Residents enjoy a resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, parks, playgrounds, miles of walking and biking trails, and a kayak launch on the Intracoastal. The Palencia Club offers optional membership with golf, dining, and social events. Palencia Village serves as the neighborhood town center, with restaurants, shops, and services just minutes away.  Palencia Elementary is only about half a mile away, and the home is also zoned for Pacetti Bay Middle and Allen D. Nease High. You're minutes from US-1 and I-95, a short drive to historic downtown St. Augustine, and close to Vilano Beach and Ponte Vedra's beaches, dining, and shopping.  Well-maintained and lovingly cared for by its one owner for over 20 years, this home is ready for its next chapter. With a roof that's only 6 years old, it offers added peace of mind for its next owners. Schedule your private showing today!
