Magnolia, 90 Lanier St, St. Johns, FL 32259

The aptly named Magnolia exudes Southern charm, along with the modernity of an open-concept design perfect for bringing family and friends together. A hospitable L-shaped porch opens to a foyer with an adjacent flex room, which has the design feel of an old-fashioned salon or library. That flex room can be turned into a private study or used as a fifth bedroom and third bath, in lieu of the powder room. The home’s centerpiece showcases a grand space that stretches wall to wall, with the island kitchen overlooking the dining room and Great Room. The airy, seamless rooms all out onto the covered lanai, which can be expanded, screened-in or with a 12-foot multi-sliding glass door added. The generous second floor, which features a light-filled loft, offers a sumptuous owner’s suite. Add even more to the suite with the choice of an Owner’s Bath Oasis or Owner’s Super Show. Also upstairs, add a shower in the second bath in lieu of a tub.
