1528 Belmonte Ave

There are neighborhoods you visit. And then there are neighborhoods you never want to leave. San Marco is the latter. Less than a mile from iconic San Marco Square - with its boutiques, art galleries, celebrated restaurants, and beloved craft cocktail and brewery scene - this charming 1939 residence offers something increasingly rare: genuine character in a location people spend years waiting to call home. Step through the front door of this inviting home and the warmth is immediate. Beautiful original hardwood floors stretch beneath your feet - the kind that carry decades of character no renovation can replicate. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space with romance and quiet intention. A beautifully appointed primary suite added in 2023 features a frameless glass shower with marble-look tile, sleek wall-mounted double sink vanity, and walk-in closet. The once-unfinished attic has been transformed into conditioned, finished living space - tucked away and perfect as a teenage hangout, creative studio, or that non-conforming third bedroom a growing household always finds a use for. A bright enclosed sunroom makes working from home genuinely enjoyable. The kitchen shines with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, undermount stainless sink, and updated appliances. Outside, the backyard was reimagined for living rather than laboring - pavers, fire pit, raised garden bed with irrigation, patio lighting, and maintenance-free artificial turf enclosed by modern horizontal wood slat fencing. The St. Johns River is just to the West. The life you've been picturing is closer than you think.
