Property Description Welcome to a truly unique waterfront setting on Pottsburg Creek, a scenic tributary of the St. Johns River. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers peaceful water views, beautiful sunsets and a quiet setting that feels tucked away while still convenient to everything Jacksonville has to offer. Enjoy the waterfront from your own charming dock, with navigability to the St. Johns River during higher tides. Adding to the privacy and uniqueness of the property, the seller also owns the parcel directly across the water, helping preserve the natural view with no home built directly opposite the property. The elevated home features spacious living areas, a 2-car carport and plenty of potential for a buyer to make it their own. Whether relaxing by the water, enjoying an evening sunset or heading out by boat, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy waterfront living in the heart of Jacksonville.
