Chelsea Lofts Sold Out by Josh Nugent and Liz Bobeck!






My fellow agent Liz Bobeck (who works with me in Prudential Network Realty's Avondale office) and I recently closed on the 9 remaining developer-owned units at The Chelsea Lofts in the Five Points area of Jacksonville. Located at the corner of Herschel and Goodwin, the Chelsea is superb new construction in the most walkable part of historic Riverside. Publix, Al's Pizza, Five Guys, Mossfire, O'Brother's, Sake House, Quiznos, Starbucks, Sushi Cafe, Papa John's, Chinese take out, and more are all literally ONE BLOCK away! Yet the Chelsea is on a quiet corner that is thoroughly residential. You have to see it to understand. Fortunately the new owner, an investor we brought to the property, is now renting the units.

Rentals available in the Chelsea Lofts from $1300 to $1995 per month:


Contact Sago Real Estate for information on renting at the Chelsea Lofts. And, as always, contact me, Josh Nugent, for any real estate needs.

William Morgan masterpieces available in Atlantic Beach



William Morgan, a Harvard-trained architect who studied under Walter Gropius, has practiced in Jacksonville since 1961. If you've ever walked along the beach in Atlantic Beach you've no doubt noticed his Dune House.



The oceanfront Dune House is currently on the market listed at $1,800,000. This unique property is truly stunning. The pictures say it all...




William Morgan's Dune House was built in 1975 and would be a treasure to own for an architecture aficionado. William Morgan Architects continues designing innovative spaces to this day, such as this 2008 American Institute of Architects award-winner, also in Atlantic Beach: 

This modern showplace, one block from the Atlantic Ocean, is currently on the market for $1,150,000. Built in 2001, this 4 bedroom / 3 bathroom home is supremely livable, making excellent use of outdoor spaces.




Looking at these photos you can almost feel the ocean breezes. And the interiors are stunning as well...

1661 Riverside Loft available with only 3% down!


Homepath is a program by Fannie Mae to help get buyers into properties that have been through foreclosure. A loft in 1661 Riverside has recently become available under this program. This 2 bedroom / 2 bath condo in walkable 5 Points is a really great deal. The list price is $179,900 — about $100,000 less than the previous owner paid!



With a rate of 5.5% (a typical current mortgage interest rate) the right buyer could move into this like-new condo, in desirable Riverside for around $5400 down and a mortgage payment of less than $1000 a month!


Of course, I cannot guarantee these figures exactly. I'm merely providing ballpark estimates based on current conditions and the Homepath program's 3% down payment plan. The final terms would have to be determined based on an individual buyer. If this sounds like the right deal for you, I'd love to work with you to achieve the best result possible. As always, just contact me, Josh Nugent with Prudential Network Realty.


It's easy to see a first-time homebuyer or a young professional seizing this opportunity. It's ideally located! 1661 Riverside is across the street from beautiful Memorial Park, a superb public space looking out onto the St Johns River. It's a few blocks walking distance to 5 Points, with all its bars, shops, restaurants — and the 5 Points Theatre! On the first level of 1661 are more restaurants, stores, and a gym. Across the street is a Starbucks, Chinese food, Japanese food, Pizza, and a Publix! Oh, and there's a 5 Guys Burgers & Fries right there! And Mossfire! And O'Brothers! And TONS MORE! Whew... Though I am a huge supporter of Springfield and downtown living, I'd have to say that 5 Points is currently Jacksonville's ideal walking neighborhood.

Maybe it's right for you?

...Oh! AND it's awfully close to the Northbank Riverwalk (and RAM) which I previously blogged about!
