About this home
Take advantage of a rare opportunity to own one of the largest and most spectacular residences in the historic John Gorrie—an adaptive reuse of a 1923 middle school in the heart of Riverside Avondale's Historic District. This modern loft-style condominium seamlessly blends architectural character, thoughtful upgrades, and walkable urban living.
The home offers a gallery-like ambiance with original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and soaring 28-foot ceilings that create dramatic volume throughout the main living areas. At the heart of the residence is a fully reimagined kitchen designed for both beauty and performance, featuring Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a distinctive two-drawer dishwasher, matching refrigerator, and range with an aesthetic vent to the ceiling. Custom open shelving crafted from vintage reclaimed wood and an artisanal Italian teal tile backsplash add texture and color to the space. One of the most exceptional features of this unit is the expansive private outdoor patioa rare luxury in loft living that also offers a private entrance. Overlooking landscaped gardens and accessible from both the living room and first-floor bedroom, this generous terrace easily accommodates gardening and entertaining, creating a true extension of the living space and a serene urban retreat.
Impressive floor-to-ceiling palladium windows with motorized sunshades flood the home with natural light. Lighting throughout the unit has been comprehensively upgraded with high-end fixtures, including adjustable recessed lighting in the living room and kitchen, track lighting in the flex space and first-floor bedroom, modern ceiling fans in the bedrooms, and dimmers throughout to effortlessly transition from day to evening.
Each oversized bedroom features a private ensuite bathroom. The first-floor suite includes custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves crafted from vintage wood sourced from Eco Relics, direct patio access, a custom walk-in California Closet, and an updated bathroom with a double-sink vanity and towel warmer. The second-story bedroom offers a dramatic view overlooking the main living area, adding to its distinctive appeal.
In addition to the private bedrooms, an open space adjacent the kitchen is ideal for an office, formal dining, entertaining, or a guest area with the use of a simple privacy screen. Further, the "Magic Room," a whimsical reading room and study space with custom bookshelves tucked beneath the stairs, is full of personality and ideal for reading, reflection, storage, or creative pursuits.
Located in one of Jacksonville's most walkable neighborhoods, this home offers easy access to the St. Johns River, coffee shops, vintage boutiques, dining, cultural venues, and nearby swimming options at the YMCA or The Good Shepherd. Five Points, the King Street District, and Downtown are all walkable or bikeable, offering true urban living where daily life unfolds on foot.
Residents of The John Gorrie Condominiums enjoy a quiet and private atmosphere. The secure building features an attentive onsite manager, proactive maintenance by the HOA, and thoughtfully converted community spaces, including a library with wifi access, central courtyard for regular use or special events, and a fitness center. This unit includes two highly convenient and secure parking spaces as well.
For buyers seeking architectural distinction, high-value upgrades, private outdoor space, and an exceptional Riverside Avondale location, this loft condominium stands apart as a rare and sophisticated offering.
