Welcome to 402 E. Buchanan St. in St. Johns. This inviting and updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is bigger than it looks from the outside! With 1,640 sq. ft. on one floor, it offers bright, open living, dining and kitchen area with stainless steel appliances, warm wood cabinetry and a spacious island.
