About this home
Just steps from the St. Johns River, this 1913 historic residence captures the essence of Riverside living with a presence that is both timeless and inviting. A gracious wrap-around porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place to gather with friends, enjoy the river breeze, and take in the character of the neighborhood.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light, enhanced by large windows that create a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Each space feels open, comfortable, and thoughtfully connected.
The first floor offers a blend of formal and informal living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A formal living room and dining room provide classic gathering spaces, while an additional informal living area offers flexibility and can easily serve as a home office. A full bathroom is conveniently located just off this space. The kitchen is positioned toward the rear of the home and features a gas range, generous workspace, and easy access to the backyard. A nearby laundry room adds everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the second floor features three bedrooms, including a spacious owner's suite with a private ensuite bathroom. The additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or additional workspace, all continuing the home's light-filled feel.
The third floor provides a fourth bedroom or a flexible bonus space, ideal for a guest retreat, studio, or work-from-home setup depending on your needs.
Historic details are beautifully preserved throughout, including original hardwood floors, picture railing, and a classic clawfoot bathtub that reflects the home's enduring character.
Outdoors, the backyard offers a private retreat beneath a canopy of a mature oak tree. A new deck and a brick paver patio create an ideal setting for entertaining and gathering.
Adding to its appeal, the property carries a desirable CRO "live-work" designation, offering versatility for those seeking a home that can support both personal and professional use.
Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including foundation work, upstairs HVAC system, updated plumbing and electrical, improved ductwork, and added insulation. These updates support modern living while maintaining the integrity of the home.
All of this is set just moments from Riverside's favorite dining, parks, and local shops, offering a lifestyle that is vibrant and connected to one of Jacksonville's most sought-after historic neighborhoods. (Buyer to verify square feet.)...
