About This Home — 2979 ST JOHNS Avenue

UNIQUE PROPERTY WITH TAX SAVINGS. Step into a piece of Avondale history with this beautifully remodeled 1908 three-story home, thoughtfully redesigned by an award-winning team and nominated for the 2025 Preservation Award by Riverside Avondale Preservation. Blending timeless charm with modern convenience, it features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and spacious living areas throughout. The updated kitchen includes a pantry, while the primary suite offers private laundry. A bright sunroom fills the home with natural light, and the grand dining room is perfect for entertaining with a working gas fireplace. Recent improvements include beautiful new flooring and tree removal that created a larger, more inviting backyard space. The third floor provides a flexible retreat with a loft, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Additional highlights include a private balcony, basement storage, and a fenced corner lot. Ideally located near downtown Jacksonville, the St. Johns River, and Avondale's shops and dining.
