We had a great listing in 2024 with this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-car garage Port St Lucie Home for sale in the Southbend area. There were two areas that stood out to us for a home this size.
It had a front-facing den that could be used as a home office or 4th bedroom.
Secondly, the rear porch had an extension and was roofed over, creating an oversized screened in back porch -perfect for outdoor living and entertaining.
Through front double doors (not a common feature here), vaulted ceilings gave an airy feel. Another bonus for this house: formal dining room and living rooms. Many 3-bedroom homes we encounter lack a formal living room, while some have a dining area in or near the kitchen.
The full-size triple sliding glass doors off the living room, double-size sliding glass doors off the family room, and slider in the master bedroom lead to a covered, spacious screened patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining day or night. In fact, these sellers bought the house for this screened-in porch. You can enter the family room, living room, or owner’s suite from any of the glass doors on the porch.
The renovated kitchen features modern 42″ cabinets, a farmer’s style single-basin sink with a garbage disposal unit, a breakfast nook with built-in seating (with hinges to lift the bench seat, creating storage), quartz countertops, open to the family room.
Newer roof (2018), A/C(2015), New Water Heater (2024). Fenced-in yard.
Spruce Bluff Park and Jessica Clinton Park are close by and offer several amenities for outdoor enthusiasts.

Hurricane Protection Was Needed During this Listing
When Hurricane Milton threatened our area in 2024, we made sure the vacant home got prepared. We did not want the sellers to worry about their vacant property.
A day before the storm’s arrival, our team was there to mount the panels, and then take them down after the storm had passed. This extra-mile service according to our promise allowed the long-distance sellers to be at peace.
Got a boat?
The C-24 Canal boat launch is just up the road. It provides ocean access via the St. Lucie River. Various features of that park:
- Approximately 9 acres
- Four boat ramp lanes with direct river and ocean access
- One large pavilion with 4 tables and two small pavilions with 2 tables each. (Water and Electric at each pavilion) one small grill at each pavilion
- Approximately 74 parking spaces for vehicles with trailers
- Approximately 11 parking spaces for single vehicles
- ADA Restrooms
- Free Wi-Fi
Park improvements include four boat ramp lanes, queuing docks, a fishing pier, picnic shelters, a fish cleaning station, parking, bathrooms, lighting, and a central wet detention pond for the 8+ acre site. Access to the site is provided with an extension of an existing city street. The City of Port St Lucie used a public involvement process which resulted in the preservation of significant trees and more than an acre of onsite wetlands.
Coordination with both Parks and Recreation and Engineering personnel resulted in additional contiguous wetland preservation on an adjacent drainage right-of-way, providing additional buffer for residents, while reducing offsite flood stages through design of provisions for offsite flows through the park facility.
This is a great public boat ramp. There is a fixed bridge at Oakley street. If you have a boat with really high vertical clearance, it would be worth looking into the clearance on that bridge.
Nearby City Parks to this Home
Just blocks away from this home is Spruce Bluff Preserve. We’ve walked in this park a few times and love walking its trails.
Two self-guiding interpretive trails cover this 97-acre site.
One loop trail describes the site of the 1891 pioneer settlement and cemetery along the banks of the St. Lucie River.
Another trail describes the significance of an early Native American mound and historic uses of native plants found along the trail.
We found several active mounds for endangered gopher tortoises.
The Jessica Clinton park is also nearby.
Located at 3200 SE Southbend Blvd., the park is named in honor of Jessica Lynne Clinton, who passed away suddenly in 2003 of an undiagnosed heart condition.
The city built a new playground that is designed to accommodate children of all abilities, including those in wheelchairs or with other mobility concerns. For children ages 5-12, there are meandering climbing structures and wild slides. Children ages 2-5 will find a colorful geometric structure encouraging agile and exploratory activities.
On the ground level, there are gently swaying basket swings, seats and hangout pods that offer points for socializing and relaxing. A xylophone provides opportunities for sensory play, and there is a large sky-surfer, net and crawl-through tube. Large signs of positive affirmations and sign language welcome children and their families to the one-of-a-kind playground.
There also are hearts throughout the soft play surface, similar to the hearts on the road in front of the park, which honor Jessica’s memory.
Other amenities of the park include
- Basketball Court
- Fitness Station
- Garden Area
- Nature Trail
- Open-space
- Pavilion
- Playground
- Tennis Court
- WiFi
