3 Recent Listings in Riverside and Avondale

I'd like to share with you 3 great listings of mine available in Jacksonville's historic Riverside/Avondale area.

The first is a condo, unit 108 at 1661 Riverside Avenue — one of the large townhouses on quaint brick May Street. This 2 bedroom / 2.5 bath condo has everything you could ask for, truly one of the best buys available in the Riverside / Five Points condo market. To top it off, you get two secured parking spaces and a storage unit!

Next up is an inexpensive duplex in the heart of Avondale at 3872 Herschel Street. A terrific investment due to its location and income-generating potential. Very appealing to renters, each side is a 2 bedroom / 1 bath unit within walking distance to Boone Park, public transportation, and many shops and restaurants. There off-street parking for up to 3 cars. This historic property could be converted to a single-family home or purchased for the rental income.

Also, one of my favorite listings is Unit 8A at the Beau Rivage Condominiums. This riverfront treasure in the heart of Avondale is a must-see, fantastic modern living space with expansive views of the St Johns River all the way to downtown Jacksonville. 3 bedroom / 2 bath unit amazingly remodeled. (I've blogged this great condo before!)

Rare Opportunity: Bank Owned Home in Avondale

It's been a busy time for me since the last time I posted. I had the opportunity to attend Prudential Real Estate Affiliates national convention in Austin, Texas, where I was honored to be part of a panel of up and coming agents. More on this later...

For now I could not wait to share this listing on Avondale Avenue.



For a while there all anyone was talking about was the "crisis" in real estate. And it certainly has been a tumultuous time. Nevertheless Avondale has been partially shielded from the devastation in other markets. Certainly values have declined but the caché of a historic district is inarguable. "They just aren't building any more 100-year-old homes," I've heard it said. Even though Avondale's true growth spurt was in the 1920s and 1930s, the point is made. For lovers of historic architecture in a neighborhood with mature trees, Avondale is hard to beat in Jacksonville.

Since Avondale has been spared somewhat, it is rare for a great bargain buying opportunity to show up like this bank-owned 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home at 1277 Avondale Avenue.



Directions: Take the Edgewood Ave South exit off US-17/Roosevelt Blvd. Make a left onto Randall St, then your first right onto Challen. Veer left onto Avondale Ave and the home is on your left.

This great deal in a great location has everything you would expect in a 1931 brick Tudor home: hardwood floors, fireplace, built-ins, character galore.

Call me, Josh Nugent, for a chance to own this beautiful bargain in Jacksonville's historic Avondale.
