Welcome to the picturesque South Historic District of Palatka, perfectly nestled along the beautiful St Johns River and within walking distance to local shops, restaurants, the city marina and boat ramp, and Palatka’s Riverfront Park and Memorial Bridge Boardwalk. The South Historic District offers sidewalks, tree-lined streets, historical architecture, and beautiful views of the river.
Just one block from the river, this home is perfectly nestled on an oversized corner lot boasting a detached 2-car garage with circular driveway and a separate storage shed. Built in 2002, this more modern-built home fits right in with the look of the surrounding homes built 100+ years ago, but offers modern building standards and conveniences. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and historic charm! As you step onto the property, you’re greeted by a massive wrap-around porch that offers a picturesque view of the river – a serene spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after a long day and enjoy the river breeze. The exterior of the home showcases a fresh coat of paint, new porch decking, and a metal roof. Immediately upon entering, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings in the open foyer, flanked on either side by the Formal Living/Office/Flex Room and Family Room. Through the spacious Family Room with bay window, you’ll find the well-appointed Kitchen with an abundance of cabinet storage and counter space.
The Owner’s Suite is tucked away in the back of the home for privacy, and offers double closets and an ensuite bath with walk-in shower. Also from the back of the home, the grand spindled staircase leads up to two more spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom, connected by a spindled catwalk open to the main hall below. Both upstairs bedrooms offer brand new carpet, with tile and laminate flooring throughout the first floor. Character abounds in this one-of-a-kind home, filled with walls of windows and high ceilings, and flooded in natural light.
Come see this home in person and experience the allure of the past with modern conveniences in the gorgeous historic district of small-town Florida. This is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle for lovers of history and community. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this piece of Palatka’s heritage your own.
