About This Home

It's time to fall in love & step into a restored 1857 Italianate brick residence where historic craftsmanship and modern comfort meet in a way that feels both grand and livable. With 8,000+ sq ft, the home offers a flexible layout suited to everyday life, including space for multi-generational living, private guest quarters, and work-from-home offices or studio rooms. Multiple living zones create privacy and ease, while the formal rooms make entertaining feel effortless. Signature architectural moments include the dramatic central stair hall and a showpiece ballroom featuring the rare “Monuments of Paris, 1820” panoramic wallcovering. Throughout the home, you will find 10 fireplaces and restored period lighting by Cornelius & Baker gasoliers, reinforcing the sense of place and provenance that is difficult to recreate. The heavy lift has been done. Extensive restoration work is complete, and the owner reports over $2M invested. Documentation and third-party support materials are available to qualified buyers, including references to National Park Service approved historic preservation tax credit work and adherence to preservation standards. Offered as a single-family residence, this is a rare Jacksonville opportunity to own a landmark-caliber home that is ready to be lived in and cared for with pride.
