Property Description

Nestled in the historic Marabanong neighborhood of Empire Point, this stunning home blends modern elegance with rich historical significance. Built in the 1990s, the property sits on the grounds that once housed the residence of Dr. Thomas Perley, Abraham Lincoln's Chief Medical Officer. As you step onto the charming brick patio, you are led to an original wine cellar dating back to 1850, a reminder of the estate's storied past.. Inside, the home is a designer's dream, with Australian pine floors flowing throughout the first and second levels. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves grace the cozy library, while double doors along the front of the home evoke the charm of a New Orleans garden home. Perched high on a hill, the residence offers panoramic views of the St. Johns River from nearly every room, capturing breathtaking vistas the moment you step inside. The current owners, who purchased the home in 2021, have thoughtfully transformed it with modern updates, including new (SEE MORE) windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems. The walk-in pantry is a highlight, featuring floor-to-ceiling shelving, a sliding ladder, glass-front doors, and intricate tile flooring. A once-utilitarian laundry room has been reimagined as a stylish powder room with elegant wallpaper, unique towel holders, and a guest-friendly vanity and coat racks.
The open floor plan invites natural light to fill the home, accentuated by high ceilings and crisp white walls. The kitchen is an entertainer's delight, boasting a spacious island, breakfast counter, wall oven, deep well sink, and built-in refrigerator. Bring your pet as not to be left out, even a cozy, lit nook under the stairs for your furry companion. A new coffee and wine bar adds flair with decorative tile walls and glass display shelves.Upstairs, the primary ensuite welcomes you with a private foyer, leading into a luxurious bedroom, newly renovated bath, and custom walk-in closet. Step out onto the balcony to take in sweeping views of downtown and the St. Johns River. This prime location also offers front-row seats to fireworks from local sporting events and holiday celebrations.
Offering both historic charm and modern convenience, this home is a rare find, blending timeless design with contemporary updates in one of the city's hidden treasured neighborhoods. A community dock allows you to cast a hook or get picked up by a friend by boat. This home's high elevation offers prime river views without being directly on the riverfront. This home will become a favorite of the most sophisticated of clients...
