1968 RIVER Road
Jacksonville, FL 32207
MLS# 2126546
5 beds | 6 baths
Property DescriptionSituated along River Road in historic San Marco, this exceptional residence offers a rare balance of preserved architectural character and elevated modern living. Thoughtfully reimagined, the home delivers warmth, sophistication, and functionality in a setting that feels both timeless and current. The layout is generous yet intentional, featuring five bedrooms plus a bonus room, four full baths, and two half baths. White oak flooring flows throughout most of the home, while a gas fireplace anchors the main living space. The kitchen pairs leathered quartzite countertops with custom cabinetry, complemented by sculptural feature lighting by Nick Alain above the island. The bar area is both functional and visually striking, finished with black granite and custom shelving crafted from the home's original roof rafters, thoughtfully repurposed to connect historic craftsmanship with modern design. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, highlighted by a spa inspired steam shower.
