Here are the most expensive homes sold in Duval County for early 2024
Classic lines and traditional styles were the stars of the show when it came to Duval County's top home sales in January.
With few exceptions, the spacious homes incorporated plenty of cedar shake and Florida vernacular architecture, with a sprinkling of French Provincial and Mediterranean-inspired looks as well. Built from 1947 to 2017, all were beautifully maintained, with enough modern updates to ensure lasting value. As always, a majority of the top home sales also included stunning ocean or river views.
The leading home on the list was a seven-bedroom Mandarin estate on an expansive riverfront parcel. Sold for $3.5 million on Jan. 9, the seven-bedroom, 5.5-bath home offered its new owners abundant space for entertaining, as well as family living. Renovations over the last three years included ceramic and porcelain tile throughout, a dog-washing station and a sleek, newly outfitted chef's kitchen with high-end appliances.
