Charming historic Avondale pool home with some modern conveniences incorporated for a perfect mix of classic meets function. Lovingly preserved, 1475 Belvedere Avenue maintains most of its 1922 features with gleaming wood floors, and extensive millwork including detailed crown molding, door/window casings, extended baseboards, raised panel woodwork, custom built-ins, fireplace surround, and more. The updated bathrooms and kitchen have brought the home into the 21st century while not departing too much from the home's history. On the first level, the light and bright formal sitting room is reminiscent of a parlor and is large enough to entertain all of your guests. It connects to the enclosed sun room for an additional flex room that you can use however you desire; maybe a home office, art room, or place for your plants to enjoy the sun. The cozy family room connects to the updated kitchen with stainless appliances and windows over the sink to look through while doing the dishes. The family room could also be used as a dining room and then the front room or sun room could be a family room - plenty of options to make it your own. The home has access to natural gas which is used for the stove and water heater and accessible for other uses as well. The added butler's pantry will be a much-valued space for additional storage, keeping your larger appliances, a bar and/or a coffee bar. Additionally, there is a walk-in pantry space for even more storage; something that can be hard to find in a historic home. The wooden stairs lead you up to the generously sized bedrooms and an oversized laundry/utility room. The primary suite features a fireplace, lots of natural light, extra storage nooks, and an ensuite bathroom with large walk-in shower. The wood floors continue into the secondary bedrooms that share an updated bathroom. The thoughtful design continues outdoors with an extended driveway that is a rare find in this neighborhood. The paved driveway can fit many cars and leads up to the covered carport, with an attached storage room that could also be a workshop. The screened side porch is fitted with roller shades making it an additional space to enjoy your morning coffee or maybe an end of day refreshment. The back yard is accented with mature landscaping surrounding the sparkling pool. There is a mix of sun and shade so you can work on your tan, or rest in the shade. Back yard is also already set up with an electric fence ($2000 and only 5 months old); so all you need is a compatible collar for your furry friend. All of this in the desirable Avondale community, one of the few neighborhoods where the mailman still delivers the mail to the door by foot. Whether you walk, bike or drive, the beautiful tree lined streets will lead you to the Shoppes of Avondale (1/2 mile away) and Riverside's 5 Points area where some of the best restaurants in town are located. It is also walking distance to a variety of city parks so you can choose your adventure of a shaded playground at Boone Park, wide open green spaces at Adams Park, waterfront views at Memorial Park, sports courts at Fishweir Park, and many more. There is even a little public pocket park tucked away in the median just a few doors down. This home has endless opportunities for enjoyment and it is ready for you to make memories of your own here.

On one of Avondale's most admired streets, this extraordinary St Johns Avenue estate stands as a true expression of luxury living in a historic setting. Featured in Jacksonville's Architectural Heritage, this remarkable residence is recognized as a prominent landmark and a celebrated example of Mediterranean Revival design. Designed by architect Jefferson D. Powell shortly after his return from Venice, the home draws direct inspiration from the palaces lining Italy's Grand Canal and was originally built for Max Knauer, a prominent Jacksonville hardware dealer. Just moments from the Shoppes of Avondale, it commands attention with architectural distinction, presence, and a sense of arrival that feels both grand and deeply rooted in place. The Venetian influence is unmistakable. The projecting two story entrance pavilion features a dramatic ogee arch and a star wheel motif inspired by the Palazzo Contarini Fasan. Arched windows of varying forms, columns, stylized leaded glass, brick and cast stone ornamentation, and crenelated parapets define the exterior. Even the chimneys are adorned with arched openings, all beneath a mission tile roof that completes the authentic Mediterranean profile. This is architecture with intention, artistry, and lasting significance. The main residence offers four bedrooms, a dedicated office, two full baths upstairs, and a gracious powder room on the main level. A finished basement provides additional living space with an additional bedroom and a full bathroom, ideal for guests or extended stays. Connected by a covered walkway, the private casita apartment includes its own full bath and thoughtful upgrades, creating a refined retreat that feels both separate and seamlessly integrated. Inside, every space reflects the careful stewardship of the current owners. The kitchen anchors the home with Sub Zero refrigeration, Wolf double ovens and a six burner gas range, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, a built in pantry, and elevated finishes that balance performance with quiet elegance. Lighting has been curated throughout, systems thoughtfully enhanced, and modern functionality introduced with respect for the home's architectural integrity. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private resort setting. The grounds have been completely reimagined with professional landscaping, extensive landscape lighting, upgraded drainage, and a reengineered irrigation system that keeps the property pristine year round. A striking pool and spa serve as the centerpiece, complemented by a custom summer kitchen, paver entertaining areas, and a natural gas fire pit. Integrated audio, app controlled pool features, and seamless indoor outdoor flow create an environment designed for both grand entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Behind the scenes, the home is equally impressive. Newer air conditioning systems, upgraded electrical, a dedicated communications closet, enhanced security, a water softener, and meticulously maintained roof and mechanicals reflect a level of care rarely seen. Improvements were completed by respected local professionals, reinforcing confidence in both the beauty and performance of the home. Celebrated in Jacksonville Magazine and featured on the RAP Home Tour, this is not simply a luxury home in Avondale. It is a landmark residence of architectural importance, thoughtfully elevated for modern living while honoring the character and craftsmanship that make it truly irreplaceable. A genuine jewel on St Johns Avenue, ready for its next steward.

Arched windows of varying forms, columns, stylized leaded glass, brick and cast stone ornamentation, and crenelated parapets define the exterior. Even the chimneys are adorned with arched openings, all beneath a mission tile roof that completes the authentic Mediterranean profile. This is architecture with intention, artistry, and lasting significance. The main residence offers four bedrooms, a dedicated office, two full baths upstairs, and a gracious powder room on the main level. A finished basement provides additional living space with an additional bedroom and a full bathroom, ideal for guests or extended stays. Connected by a covered walkway, the private casita apartment includes its own full bath and thoughtful upgrades, creating a refined retreat that feels both separate and seamlessly integrated. Inside, every space reflects the careful stewardship of the current owners. The kitchen anchors the home with Sub Zero refrigeration, Wolf double ovens and a six burner gas range, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, a built in pantry, and elevated finishes that balance performance with quiet elegance. Lighting has been curated throughout, systems thoughtfully enhanced, and modern functionality introduced with respect for the home's architectural integrity. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private resort setting. The grounds have been completely reimagined with professional landscaping, extensive landscape lighting, upgraded drainage, and a reengineered irrigation system that keeps the property pristine year round. A striking pool and spa serve as the centerpiece, complemented by a custom summer kitchen, paver entertaining areas, and a natural gas fire pit. Integrated audio, app controlled pool features, and seamless indoor outdoor flow create an environment designed for both grand entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Behind the scenes, the home is equally impressive. Newer air conditioning systems, upgraded electrical, a dedicated communications closet, enhanced security, a water softener, and meticulously maintained roof and mechanicals reflect a level of care rarely seen. Improvements were completed by respected local professionals, reinforcing confidence in both the beauty and performance of the home. Celebrated in Jacksonville Magazine and featured on the RAP Home Tour, this is not simply a luxury home in Avondale. It is a landmark residence of architectural importance, thoughtfully elevated for modern living while honoring the character and craftsmanship that make it truly irreplaceable. A genuine jewel on St Johns Avenue, ready for its next steward.
