A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity along the Avondale waterfront, this remarkable 1925 Florida vernacular home sits on an extraordinary double L-shaped parcel, offering a scale of land and waterfront that simply cannot be replicated in this historic neighborhood. Just under 3,000 square feet, the main residence blends the character and craftsmanship of its era with a thoughtful, extensive renovation completed in recent years. The reimagined floor plan creates a more open and connected way of living, while beautifully remodeled kitchen and baths bring a level of luxury and functionality suited to modern life. The home offers three bedrooms plus a dedicated office, two full baths and a powder room, with gracious living spaces that retain the warmth and architectural character that make historic Avondale homes so special. But it is the property itself that makes this offering truly exceptional. The enormous waterfront grounds stretch across a rare double L-shaped lot, creating an incredible sense of privacy, space and possibility along the water. Expansive views reach across the river toward the Ortega River Bridge, creating a beautiful backdrop that changes throughout the day and comes alive as the lights reflect across the water in the evening. With no comparable parcel of this size remaining in Avondale, opportunities like this are extraordinarily difficult to find. Historic architecture, luxury renovations, expansive waterfront, unforgettable views and an irreplaceable piece of land come together in a property that represents something increasingly rare: the chance to own not simply a beautiful Avondale home, but one of the neighborhood's truly singular waterfront estates.
