Property details

About 1511 Bernice Ave

Great location with a beautiful view of the St. Joe River and beyond. Very few homes offer a view like this. The property is high on a hill and right next to the river but the city owns the strip of land between the property and the water (old RR tracks). It offers expansive deck/patio on two levels, walkout basement, modern kitchen, skylights, fireplace and more. Great location in the City of St. Joe. Easy walk to Box Factory, Clementines, boat slips, etc. and a very short drive to downtown, the piers, and the beaches. It would make a great summer home, weekend getaway, or full time home. It was originally 3 bedrooms and could easily be converted back.
