About this home
Avondale
A rare piece of Jacksonville history, gracefully set on one of Avondale's most coveted riverfront parcels. Built in 1922 as the private residence of Telfair Stockton, the original founder and visionary developer of Avondale, this extraordinary Mediterranean Revival estate is where architectural legacy meets timeless waterfront living. Quietly tucked at the foot of a cul-de-sac, the property boasts an impressive 118 feet of frontage on the St. Johns River, capturing sweeping, postcard-worthy views of the downtown skyline. From the moment you arrive, the home's historic pedigree is unmistakable. Original architectural millwork, preserved details, and five fireplaces echo the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while thoughtful updates ensure effortless modern living. The expansive, updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home—perfectly positioned for both everyday life and elegant entertaining. The main residence offers three bedrooms plus a versatile flex room ideal for a fourth bedroom

Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be.
Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Flood zone not yet determined
Check the exact parcel at msc.fema.gov or ask Krista to pull it.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Evacuation zone not yet determined
Check floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone.
Roof: Tile — year not disclosed (home built 1922)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,728 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeThis Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.
