More freedom. Less home maintenance. And a place that feels like home--not an apartment. This upper-level END condo in The Tides at Sweetwater by Del Webb offers the space, privacy and lifestyle many buyers hope to find when downsizing. Vaulted ceilings and abundant windows give the living areas an airy feel, while the screened lanai may become your favorite room--overlooking a broad lawn and mature trees with no home directly behind you. As an end residence, you'll enjoy additional windows and natural light, plus a flexible den/office for hobbies, guests or working from home. A private interior staircase leads from your front door to the living level, with an attached 1-car garage and storage below. NEW HVAC in 2026. Best of all, much of the exterior work is handled for you: roof, exterior painting, pavers, pest control, lawn care, landscaping and trash--giving you more time for what comes next. And what comes next can be as active--or relaxed--as you choose. Sweetwater by Del Webb is a gated 55+ community designed around connection, with an extensive calendar of clubs and social activities, fitness facilities, walking trails and on-site management. Stay busy, meet new friends, travel without worrying about the yard, or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon on your lanai. Inside, you'll find an open living and dining area, eat-in kitchen, spacious primary suite with double vanity and walk-in shower, guest accommodations and indoor laundry. Pond views from the front windows add another pleasant outlook, and nearby guest parking makes visits easy. Everyday conveniences are remarkably close, including grocery shopping approximately 1.5 miles away and urgent care outside the front gates, with Mayo Clinic, St. Johns Town Center, Jacksonville's beaches and the airport within easy driving distance. Come for the condo. Stay for the lifestyle.
