1829 Powell Place Home Details

← Back to overview

Designer new construction, finished in 2025 with interiors by Michelle Walsh — on a dead-end Avondale street seven homes from the St. Johns, a rare new home on one of the neighborhood's original blocks.

6 bedrooms and 5 baths (4 full, 1 half) across roughly 4,097 square feet of assessed living area, plus a detached 500-square-foot guest house. Ten-foot ceilings, a private elevator, a dedicated wine room, and a custom millwork program throughout — priced at $1,999,900, about $488 per square foot of main-house living area, competitive with comparable Avondale new-builds.

Built from the ground up to current Florida Building Code: a stem-wall foundation, impact-rated glass throughout, spray-foam envelope, 400-amp service, and two tankless gas systems — engineered for the river climate.

The Main House

Great room open to the kitchen beneath ten-foot ceilings

Great Room

Open to the kitchen beneath 10-foot ceilings, anchored by a marble gas fireplace, with a clean sightline that carries the light all the way through — built for scale and for the way the river reads in the afternoon.

Chef's kitchen with marble island and dual-fuel range

Chef's Kitchen

A marble-topped island at the center, a dual-fuel range, a working scullery and a full pantry sightline — Michelle Walsh's interior program shows here, styled to entertain.

Primary spa bath with freestanding tub and marble

Primary Suite

A private retreat with a spa bath — freestanding tub against a marble feature wall, a glass walk-in shower, a double vanity — and a walk-in closet, all in the home's custom millwork and material palette.

Wine room with steel-and-glass barn door

Wine Room

A dedicated, climate-considered wine room behind a steel-and-glass door — a distinct feature few comparable Avondale listings offer.

Private elevator serving every floor

Elevator

A private elevator serves every floor — convenience now, and a feature that keeps the home livable for the long term.

The Guest House

A true 500-square-foot accessory dwelling with a kitchenette, full bath, and private entry — fully independent of the main residence. Ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, or rental income. Among new Avondale homes under $2M, a separate ADU like this is rare.

Construction & Assurance

Built from the ground up in 2025 to current Florida Building Code — the envelope and systems a luxury coastal buyer should expect, documented and ready to insure.

The stem wall and impact glass may qualify for wind-mitigation premium credits, and the home's flood coverage (AE zone) may be assumable at closing — buyers should confirm coverage, premiums, and assumability with their own carrier.

Provenance

New homes almost never come to a street like this.

Avondale was platted in 1920 and built out within a decade — its riverside blocks have stood, largely unchanged, for a century. 1829 Powell Place is the rare exception: a brand-new home on one of the neighborhood's original streets, seven doors from the St. Johns. Its houses went up through the 1920s; this is the new one.
