”I’m telling you, this is the one!” That’s what I said when I walked into this bright Sweetwater condo and saw the morning sun pouring over the trees. You’d love it here—3rd floor privacy, peaceful views of the woods, and you’re just steps from the trails, pond, clubhouse and pool. It even has a new roof, elevator, and a brand-new HVAC system! And get this—the building already passed its structural study, and the COA fees were lowered. No crazy surprises here. You’re only 20 minutes from the beach, right by Mayo Clinic and the Town Center—but inside the gates? It’s all trees, birds, and community. This is Jacksonville’s best-kept secret for 55+ living, and the unit just dropped in price. Want me to book a showing for you?? So here’s how it happened…

I was walking the trails at Sweetwater like I always do on weekendssun filtering through the trees, breeze off the pond, cardinals chirping overheadand I thought, why hasn’t my friend moved here yet? Then I saw the listing pop up for Unit 1302 and said out loud: This is it. This is the one.

It’s a 3rd-floor corner condo (yes, there’s an elevatordon’t worry), and it backs up to this gorgeous stretch of woods –peaceful, shady trees that make it feel like you’re living in the middle of a nature preserve. The lanai faces east, so mornings are filled with soft sunlight and birdsong. And the building? Concrete block construction, new roof in 2023, and it’s already completed the required structural reserve studyso no “what if” worries. They even lowered the 2025 COA fees!

The layout is ideal: 2 bedrooms plus a den (hello, craft room or cozy office), wide halls, tall ceilings, a remodeled bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a 2024 HVAC system. The whole place just feels rightopen, peaceful, and cared for. And it’s handicapped accessible!

Even better? The building is the closest one to the mail kiosk and trash/recycling area. No schlepping bags halfway across the complex. It’s also near the pond trail that leads straight to the clubhouse with the pool, hot tub, gym, and all the social events you could wantor not, if you’re here for peace and privacy.

And the location? Chef’s kiss. Tucked into a wooded pocket of Jacksonville that feels far from everything, but it’s just:

20 minutes to the beach, a quick drive to Mayo Clinic and other medical centers, 10 minutes to St. Johns Town Center for shopping, dining, and people-watching. Plus close to the airport for when friends visitor when you fly off on adventure cuz its a great “lock and leave” situation (gated community, keyed building entrance).

Plus, the 55+ community here is exactly the kind of active but low-key vibe you’ve been looking for. There’s always something going on if you want itbilliards, crafts, yoga, neighborhood socialsor you can keep it simple and enjoy the peace and greenery.

You’ve talked about downsizing, simplifying, and finding a place that just makes life easier. This is it.

The price just dropped. The fees went down. The market’s picking up. If you wait too long, someone else is going to scoop this one upand I know you’ll kick yourself. Plus, buyers qualify for the Preferred Membership Certificate at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club and other clubs!

So… when are you coming for a visit? Or better yetjust tell me you want it, and I’ll help make it yours.
