Description

The historic Ferris House underwent a complete renovation in modern farmhouse style from top to bottom in 2022, everything from the bare stud walls – new metal roof; all new electrical, plumbing and AC; new LVP flooring throughout; new kitchen and bathrooms, new walls with thick foam insulation, and more. The historic character remains – wide wrap around porch, high ceilings, original 100-year-old staircase, barn doors made from original vintage doors. The home offers 1,908 square feet of living area, three large bedrooms (downstairs main bedroom suite with walk in closet), two and a half baths, open concept living and dining. The sunny, spacious eat-in kitchen features large windows, high end Jenn-Air and GE stainless steel appliances (three ovens), Maple wood cabinets, custom island, quartz counters, glass and marble backsplash, Kraus farmhouse sink. Laundry room off kitchen has lots of pantry storage. A separate concrete block garage with second story attic contains +900 square feet (with electric), could be converted to a rental cottage or a business office. The property is zoned Primary Corridor designation within the new Green Cove Springs Form Based Code, permitting a wide range of residential and/or commercial uses. The assessed value by the Clay County Property Appraiser for tax purposes is $350,229 in 2023 and reflects the extensive renovations that were permitted and approved by the City.

Located within the Green Cove Springs Historic District with large old oak trees shading the streets – biking, walking and golf cart friendly!

It fronts Ferris Street/Hwy 16, with great exposure for a business (average of about 13,000 vehicles per day); the house is foam insulated so any outside noise is hardly discernable inside.
