Property Description

Perfectly positioned just steps from the renowned Shoppes of Avondale, this exquisitely updated 106-year-old residence blends early 20th-century charm with elevated modern living. Located on a picturesque, tree-lined street with partial views of the St. Johns River, yet safely outside the flood zone, this timeless home offers a rare combination of historic detail, designer finishes, and a vibrant walkable lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the home's curb appeal is undeniable. A gracious front porch overlooks a lively neighborhood where residents stroll, greet one another, and foster a true sense of community. Inside, the home welcomes you with 9.5-foot ceilings, refinished original oak hardwood floors, and sun-drenched living areas that beautifully preserve their architectural integrity. The living room features a classic fireplace, adding warmth and charm to the space. The gourmet kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined with quartz countertops, marble flooring, soft-close cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, striking the perfect balance between style and function. The wall between the kitchen and dining room has been opened up to create a more modern layout and effortless entertaining. Just beyond, a dedicated laundry room, rare for homes of this era, adds convenience without compromising on design. Upstairs, the expanded primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat, complete with a large walk-in closet and a fully renovated bath featuring luxurious materials and timeless design. Both upstairs and downstairs bathrooms have been tastefully updated, and marble tile in all wet areas ensures elegance and durability throughout. Smooth skim-coated walls, custom lighting, and recessed lighting in key rooms, including the kitchen, dining room, den, and bathrooms, underscore the attention to detail found in every corner of this home. Outdoors, the charm continues. The exterior has been freshly painted, and the yard regraded to enhance curb appeal. A fenced backyard offers privacy and space for play or relaxation. The detached garage provides ample parking and storage, while a new paver driveway and patio create the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or peaceful moments beneath the trees. This is more than just a home, it's a lifestyle. Enjoy the character and convenience of Avondale, with its walkable boutiques, award-winning dining, and historic architecture, all just minutes from downtown Jacksonville, the beaches, and top-rated schools.
