If you're moving to Jacksonville and historic and unique homes for sale in Avondale, this one should be top of your list. The sellers are motivated! It has dropped in price by $150,000 since it was listed and it's gorgeous!

Avondale just happens to be one of Jacksonvilles most popular historic neighborhoods according to the locals and of course the National Register of Historic Places and for the people who call the area "Home" it's one of the best "walkable" neighborhoods in the Jacksonville Florida area.

There are many parks and plenty of outdoor space including the 28 acre Boone Park perfect for the kiddos, tennis enthusiasts and picnickers. You also have Willowbranch and Fishweir Parks which are equally "activity" friendly for all.

The Avondale location provides quick access to downtown Jacksonville, The Jaguars Stadium and cultural attractions and is consistently ranked as the #5 neighborhood in Jacksonville. I must mention that it's also ranked #339 in the state too.

If shopping, dining and nightlife is your thing, The Shoppes of Avondale provides quaint little coffee shops, some of the city's best restaurants like The Brick, The Blue Fish and an all time favorite The Fox Restaurant  along with shopping and nightlife.

Better yet, the Avondale area homes for sale are of a very unique architectural style. I would challenge you to find any two homes that are alike and since Avondale borders the St Johns River you'll find many small cottages to luxury riverfront estates and everything in between with prices ranging from $170,000 to $4.5 million (Closed sales as of 90 days prior to Aug 24 2026)

This home at 2976 Herschel St certainly fits the "unique" title. Listed currently at $749,000 after reducing in price by $150k, it features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a pool and has been thoughtfully renovated.

I really like the original glass doorknobs that were left. Reminiscent of a completely different era of home building. Reminds me of my grandmothers house. My favorite feature though, is the front porch area. Take a look at the video below and tell me what you think and what your best features are.
