Property Description
*See VIDEO under Facts & Features* “There's nothing else like this in Jacksonville,” say the many guests, and every single contractor, who has visited 3852 St. Johns Avenue, thoughtfully named “Mariposa” for its transformative beauty inside and out. Nestled in Jacksonville's historic Avondale neighborhood, Mariposa is a stunning 1924 garden home. The outdoor spaces, designed with blueprints by renowned landscape architect Raymond Jungles, known for private gardens and resort projects across Florida and the Caribbean, feature native plantings, a certified Natural Wildlife Habitat, and abundant bamboo, a cultural symbol of prosperity. The “Heavenly Bamboo” is even visible from the master bath and balcony, creating a serene, treehouse-like atmosphere reminiscent of Bali. Enjoy a custom saltwater pool with new LED lighting and fountains, a tranquil yoga deck overlooking Little Fishweir Creek, stone fountains, a separate lily pond, pebble walkways, gas lanterns, and multiple dining and lounge areas, perfect for both quiet reflection and intimate gatherings such as weddings and showers. The front facade is enhanced by creeping fig, a beautifully trimmed hallmark of Avondale elegance. Inside, original hardwood floors and tall windows showcase 2,385 square feet, including a powder room adorned with stunning Ashley Woodson Bailey “Florida” grasscloth wallpaper, valued at $10,000 for material and installation. The primary suite offers peaceful garden views and upgraded finishes throughout. Recent major updates include new HVAC ductwork, a tankless water heater, a new main sewer line, an updated irrigation system, fresh paint and the list goes on. Located just steps from Boone Park—featuring tennis, pickleball, playgrounds, and centuries-old trees—and minutes from the Shoppes of Avondale, Mariposa is at the heart of one of Jacksonville's most cherished communities. Residents enjoy monthly “Sip & Stroll” events, seasonal celebrations, and the magical December Luminaria tradition. Proven as a successful luxury rental, Mariposa offers an unmatched blend of nature, art, and historic charm. A treasure trove of additional information, photos, and rental history is available for serious prospective buyers. Just ask your agent!
