Property Description

The historic Henry Owsley House offers a rare opportunity to own one of Jacksonville's most iconic residences. Timeless craftsmanship and architectural elegance are showcased throughout, from the soaring 12.5-foot ceilings and exquisite millwork to six impressive fireplaces and a grand curved staircase featuring a walnut banister and striking S-curve newel post. The spacious main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering an elegant dining room, inviting family room, and a stunning 14' x 17' parlor that could easily serve as a main-level primary suite with direct access to a full bath and walk-in closet. The beautifully updated kitchen blends historic charm with modern conveniences and opens to a stylish transitional deck overlooking the picturesque backyard and charming carriage house-style garage. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms are filled with natural light and rich architectural character. Additional highlights include wood-burning fireplaces in both the den and the garage, plus an electric fireplace insert in the dining room. This exceptional home has been pre-inspected for the buyer's convenience, offering added confidence in the opportunity to own one of Jacksonville's most treasured historic homes.
