Property Description

A rare piece of Jacksonville history, gracefully set on one of Avondale's most coveted riverfront parcels. Built in 1926 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, home office, or private retreat, along with four full baths and one half bath. Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a true riverfront sanctuary: a resort-style pool, private dock with covered boat lift, and endless opportunities for sunrise coffees and sunset soirées. Adding to the property's rare appeal is a detached two-car garage with a charming one-bedroom, one-bath carriage house, ideal for guests, extended family, or a private studio. This is more than a homeit's a landmark. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a foundational piece of Avondale's history, impeccably preserved and perfectly positioned along the St. Johns River. Historic. Iconic. Unrepeatable.
