Step into a rare piece of North Florida history at Wilcox Manor, 700 Walnut Street in the heart of Green Cove Springs, just 20 minutes from St. Augustine. Built in 1890 by the Kirkpatrick family, this fully restored Victorian sits on a landscaped, dividable triple lot. This 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home blends historic craftsmanship with modern upgrades, offering timeless character with the modern amenities of new construction. The wraparound porch sets the tone with original woodwork and classic Southern charm. Inside, spacious rooms feature high ceilings, natural light, heart pine floors, fireplaces, and select original fixtures. The kitchen is a masterpiece of custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, ZLINE appliances, a pot filler, and pull out storage. A walnut coffee bar, hand crank casement windows, and a one of a kind island add both function and character, anchored by the original brick chimney. The primary suite includes a spa style bath with a clawfoot tub, walk in shower and sunset views through mature trees. Outside, live oaks and Spanish moss frame brick walkways, curated landscaping, and a European inspired courtyard. A hand tiled Soake pool, detached garage or workshop, and a charming pump house complete the setting. Major upgrades include new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, ductwork, insulation, and a 50 year impact rated roof, along with security, lighting, and wireless access throughout. Zoned CBD, Commercial Business District, this property offers rare flexibility for residential, business, or mixed use opportunities. Walk to downtown shops, dining, and events like Food Truck Fridays and Riverfest. The future Springside Restaurant District is just one block away. Location has easy access to the First Coast Expressway, Jacksonville, St. Johns County, and nearby beaches. Whether used as a residence, event space, or short term rental, Wilcox Manor offers character, versatility, and location. 700 Walnut Street is more than a home, it is a legacy!
What to check on this one
- Verify roof age, material, and last replacement—136-year-old home may trigger insurer restrictions.
- Obtain 4-point inspection (roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and wind-mitigation report before purchase.
- Confirm flood zone designation and obtain elevation certificate if in AE/VE zone.
- Inspect plumbing system era—pre-1995 polybutylene or cast-iron pipes common in 1890 homes.
- Request full restoration documentation, permits, and contractor warranties for modern upgrades.
- Verify septic system location, age, maintenance records if home is not on municipal sewer.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
