There are waterfront homes, and then there are properties designed around the experience of living on the water. 298 SE 5th Avenue in Melrose, Florida offers the space, amenities, and setting to enjoy the Lake Santa Fe lifestyle every day.

Offered at $1,349,000, this beautifully updated lakefront residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3,360 square feet of living space, and approximately 100 feet of waterfront on beautiful Lake Santa Fe.

For buyers searching for a luxury lakefront home in North Florida, this property offers an exceptional combination of comfortable living, entertaining space, and direct access to one of the area's most desirable lakes.

A Home Designed Around the Lake

One of the first things you'll notice about this home is how prominently Lake Santa Fe becomes part of the living experience.

Expansive lake views can be enjoyed from inside the home and from the outdoor living spaces, creating a peaceful backdrop whether you're entertaining friends, enjoying a quiet morning, or watching the sunset at the end of the day.

The open-concept main living area brings together the custom kitchen, dining area, and living room, providing plenty of space for gathering while keeping the lake views front and center.

A striking double-sided fireplace further connects the indoor and outdoor spaces, creating an inviting atmosphere for year-round enjoyment.

Flexible Space for Family and Guests

Although the home features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, its thoughtful design provides additional flexibility for overnight guests.

A loft offers additional sleeping accommodations, while the library/office includes a cleverly concealed Murphy bed behind custom bookcases.

The result is a home that can comfortably accommodate larger gatherings while still providing functional spaces for everyday living.

Whether you're looking for a primary residence, lake retreat, or a property where family and friends can gather, the layout offers impressive versatility.

Made for Entertaining

The home's dedicated entertainment room is another standout feature.

With a large gathering area, pool table, wet bar, custom fishing-pole storage, and EuroCave wine cooler, this space makes it easy to entertain without ever leaving home.

Combined with the open living areas and outdoor spaces overlooking the lake, the property offers multiple places to relax and enjoy time with guests.

Approximately 100 Feet of Lake Santa Fe Waterfront

Of course, the defining feature of this property is the waterfront itself.

With approximately 100 feet of Lake Santa Fe frontage, the backyard leads directly to your own private dock and boat lift.

Spend your days boating, fishing, relaxing along the shoreline, or simply taking in the scenery from the dock. The property also features a fire pit and generous outdoor entertaining areas for enjoying Florida evenings by the water.

For anyone who has dreamed of being able to step outside and have the lake become part of everyday life, this property delivers exactly that experience.

Discover the Lake Santa Fe Lifestyle

Lake Santa Fe has long made the Melrose area a special destination for waterfront homeowners. Living directly on the lake provides opportunities for recreation while still allowing you to enjoy the quieter pace and natural surroundings associated with the North Florida Lake Region.

At 298 SE 5th Avenue, the home and setting work together. Instead of simply having a view of the water, the property is designed to help you live on the lake.

Morning coffee overlooking the water, afternoons on the boat, gatherings on the deck, fishing from your dock, and sunsets over Lake Santa Fe can all become part of your everyday routine.
