Property Description
This iconic 1929 estate home in San Marco, originally owned by Carl Swisher of the Swisher Cigar Company, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Jacksonville's history. Set on just under 3 acres of prime riverfront property, with an impressive 178 feet along the St. Johns River, the estate boasts breathtaking views and unmatched privacy. The property includes a buildable lot, perfect for adding a second home, tennis courts, or leaving as open space. The entire home has been recently painted and reroofed, preserving its timeless charm. Inside, you'll find original tile and wood floors, high ceilings with exposed wood beams, and four fireplaces that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The modern kitchen and updated owner's suite bath offer contemporary luxury. This walled and privately gated estate is located in one of Jacksonville's most prestigious neighborhoods and has been recognized with a national preservation award, celebrating its rich

The covered walkway from the home leads to the apartment, gorgeous garden area and a greenhouse for green thumb enthusiasts. Imagine all the beautiful orchids you could grow. Situated on a high bluff the views are expansive and endless. No flooding in this home. Walk down an original limestone path that leads to the large pool and dock along the rivers edge. San Marco Square a short walk away offers more charm and history along with some of Jacksonville's top rated restaurants, bars and shops. Also within walking distance is a newly built grocery store and an abundance of great coffee and wine bars. This family has lovingly maintained and lived here for more than forty years. A rare opportunity to find a riverfront home on River Road, much less the largest riverfront lot & home filled with history and charm.
