What You Get (in Jacksonville) for … $500,000

October 27, 2010 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

If you haven’t read one of my “What You Get For…” posts before (and I’m guessing many of you haven’t), let me give you some background. Occasionally, the New York Times will publish an article in the Great Homes & Destinations section showcasing various properties on the market around the country. The featured homes usually come from three different cities, but they are all listed at or around a specific price point.

As a REALTOR® in the Jacksonville market, I’m simply taking the same concept but applying it to the northeast Florida market. This time around, for example, the Times is looking at homes listed for around $500,000. Let’s see what we can find in and around Jacksonville for that same price…

St. Augustine, Florida

Kensington Home for Sale

742 Battersea Drive

What: A 4 BDR / 5 BATH Home in Kensington

How Much: $495,000

Size: 4,809 s.f.

Per Square Foot: $102.90

Setting: Kensington is a relatively new development off US-1 between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Just north of the Palencia development, the community is near schools, shopping and major commuter routes. Unlike some of the other communities in the area, Kensington has no CDD fees to pay, making it a very attractive option for homebuyers.

Inside: A former model home, this home has the look and feel of an estate with dormers, balconies and oversized rooms throughout. The gourmet island kitchen has granite countertops, ceramic cooktop, wall oven, butler’s pantry and a wine chiller. Hardwood floors and a fireplace with stone mantel add to the elegant feel. Outside, there’s a screened porch overlooking the large lot that backs up to a preserve.

St. Augustine, Florida

940 Alcala Drive

What: A 3 BDR / 2 BATH Home on the Intracoastal in St. Augustine Shores

How Much: $495,000

Size: 1,722 s.f.

Per Square Foot: $287.45

Setting: Located on the Intracoastal Waterway, this home has a resort-style feel in a community offering many attractive amenities, including walking/biking trails, parks, community pool and an 18-hole golf course. The home sits on a large lot with views of the Intracoastal Waterway from the dramatic patio with pergola and fountain.

Inside: Updated bathrooms and kitchen bring elegant, modern touches to this 1-story home on the water. Windows and French Doors that open up to the outside make the home feel light and airy, giving the feel of a luxury retreat.

Jacksonville, Florida

Beauclerc Home for Sale, Jacksonville, Florida

9153 Bay Cove Lane

What: A 5 BDR / 3 1/2 BATH Home in Beauclerc

How Much: $490,000

Size: 3,514 s.f.

Per Square Foot: $139.40

Setting: North of Mandarin along the St. Johns River, Beauclerc has a stately southern charm with rolling lawns and trees covered in Spanish moss. This brick home is beautifully landscaped and sits on .42 acres with large deck in the fenced backyard.

Inside: This beautifully renovated home has a flagstone porch and foyer transitioning into beautiful hardwood floors. The gourmet kitchen includes a brick hearth over the stove, as well as granite counters. A brick fireplace and oversized master suite with French doors add to the appeal.
