Riverfront MidCentury Modern Offers Downtown Views

I've enjoyed highlighting some of Jacksonville's available homes in modern architectural styles. (Follow link for complete list of homes I've featured so far.)



3869 Timuquana Road is a fantastic opportunity for a buyer looking to rehab a modern home on a large, secluded lot on the Saint Johns River. Just past Timuquana Country Club lies a small neighborhood of some of the best homes in Jacksonville — and with some of the best views.



Modern architectural quirks and character combined with a generous patio / pool deck and front and back yards which go on forever offer the right buyer unlimited potential.

Josh Nugent Attends Prudential Real Estate Convention as Featured Speaker

From March 6 - 9, 2010, I had the opportunity of attending Prudential Real Estate Associates' Convention in Austin, Texas. There were many great events, opportunities for education and networking. I was honored to be invited to speak on a panel discussing how to grow business even in a tough market.

Of course, this being Texas, there were also some opportunities for letting off steam, such as when I rode the mechanical bull!

It started out slowly:
Then got faster, crazier...

... and more fun!

The entire convention was a great experience.

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.

Goings On in 5 Points, Jacksonville's best walkable neighborhood

A few weeks ago I told you about taking part in the sale of all remaining units at the Chelsea Lofts in Riverside. My client is now offering those units for rent and the info you need is all at the Chelsea Lofts website -- tell them Josh Nugent sent you, or just give me a call.

Five Points living is so pleasant and rewarding, I have also put together special pages showing the specific buying opportunities at condos in the area:

• 1661 Riverside Avenue
• Broadview Terrace
• Broadview Towers

Available condos at The Peninsula

I've written before about the amazing views and amenities at the Peninsula condos on the South Bank of Jacksonville's St Johns River. Here are just a couple photos to remind you:

I have created a page which enables you to see all currently available units at the Peninsula. For this and any other real estate need, please contact me, Josh Nugent.

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:

• $1300 units
  
• $1350 units
  
• $1450 units
  
• $1750 units
  
• 1 unit at $1995

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