Description

Rare opportunity to own a home that is both classic and comfortable, both charming and elegant. Situated on the St. John’s River in historic Riverside with 100 ft of river frontage on a generous almost half acre lot, it is the only home on River Blvd with direct river frontage. This 3781 sq ft. home can both entertain friends and nurture a family. Facing southwest, the large front porch allows glorious mornings and evenings as well as a comfortable place to nap in the river breeze. It is an oasis with views generating an island feel while having 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, three car garage, and centrally located 5 mins from each of downtown, San Marco and the village shops of Avondale. Built in 1922(with the Leon Cheek Castle as its next door neighbor) in that way that ”they don’t build them anymore”. A 660 square foot one bedroom apartment over the 3-car garage can serve as a mother-in-law suite, a teenager’s hideout, or, as it does now, the home’s theatre and hangout space/guest bedroom. The home has been lovingly preserved and updated with chef’s kitchen, new sprinkler system, new driveway gate, and many other features. The current owners have invested as if they’d own it forever in including recently encapsulating and waterproofing the crawlspace and upgrading the primary bath and the secondary east facing porch. Spend your evenings relaxing in the heated plunge pool with a cocktail while experiencing amazing river views. This is a rare opportunity, the current owners have decided it’s time to downsize, act quick before they change their mind!
