Charming Historic Mansion in Riverside
Tired of cookie-cutter new construction? This stunning Colonial Revival residence offers timeless elegance and thoughtful updates. Step inside to soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, and two functioning fireplaces. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, and a full-sized laundry room adds everyday convenience. Expansive southern-style porches invite quiet mornings and evening gatherings, while a beautifully landscaped courtyard and covered carport complete the outdoor space.
Nestled on the border of Riverside and Avondale, you'll enjoy walkable access to some of Jacksonville's best boutique shopping, dining, arts markets, museums, and the scenic riverwalk. Built in 1911 for lumber magnate Bryan W. Blount, this stately mansion has witnessed over a century of transformation. In 1938, it was converted into the Martha Washington Hotel, a women-only hotel named to echo the popularity of the George Washington Hotel. During World War II, it served as a boarding house for servicemen and their families, reflecting its vital role in the local community. After closing in 1977, the property was saved from demolition and beautifully repurposed into condominiums in the 1980spreserving its rich architectural heritage and cultural legacy. This effort to save the Martha Washington was one of RAP's (Riverside Avondale Preservation) early and most significant initiatives.
This is not just a homeit's a rare opportunity to own a truly historic piece of Jacksonville's story.
