309 JULIA STREET

What if some of the best parts of New Smyrna Beach weren't a drive away, but just steps from your front door? Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a 2023 custom-built home in the heart of New Smyrna Beach, where the lifestyle of historic Canal Street becomes an extension of your own backyard. Walk to locally owned restaurants, boutiques and shops, spend Saturday mornings at the farmers market, stroll to the nationally recognized IMAGES Art Festival, or step outside for Canal Street Nights, Classic Cars on Canal, parades and the countless community events that make this one of New Smyrna Beach's most vibrant places to live. Here, you're not simply close to downtown; you get to live it. Built in 2023, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath custom home pairs that extraordinary location with the comfort and convenience of newer construction. The open-concept main living area was designed for both everyday life and entertaining, seamlessly connecting the kitchen, dining, and living spaces while creating a natural gathering place at the heart of the home. The first-floor primary suite provides privacy and convenience, while a dedicated office behind a barn door creates a distinct space for working from home. One of the home's more unexpected features is the built-in wine room, which is an architectural detail that feels perfectly suited to a home designed for entertaining. The kitchen continues the clean, contemporary aesthetic with integrated appliances, including a built-in microwave and oven combination. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests, with one bedroom opening directly onto a private balcony - a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors above the activity of the main living spaces. Outside, the fully fenced backyard creates another private setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying Florida's year-round indoor-outdoor lifestyle. But what truly separates this home is something that can't simply be recreated with another floor plan or another new build: its location. Imagine waking up Saturday morning and walking to the farmers market. Meeting friends for dinner on Canal Street without getting in the car. Walking home from an art festival, parade, or evening event while everyone else is searching for parking. And when you want the beach, everything that makes New Smyrna Beach famous is only minutes away by golf cart or bike. There are beautiful homes throughout New Smyrna Beach. There are newer homes. And there are homes near downtown. Very few combine all three like this. This is an opportunity to own a modern custom home while becoming part of the lifestyle, energy, and community that make historic New Smyrna Beach such a special place to call home.
