Gwinn Volen presents
From Riverside to Roscoe, few homes have a story as captivating—or as beautifully preserved—as this remarkable 1903 Greek Revival estate in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Originally constructed in Jacksonville’s historic Riverside neighborhood for banker and railroad tycoon Thomas Denham, this architectural gem began its life among the grand homes of the early 20th century. Nearly a century later, in an extraordinary act of preservation, the residence was floated by barge down the St. Johns River, finding its forever setting on the Intracoastal Waterway in Ponte Vedra Beach.
A Historic Home with a Modern Soul
Affectionately known as “The Belle of the Valley,” the home offers more than 6,000 square feet of refined living space across three levels—a seamless blend of timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful modern comfort.
Every detail tells a story: original heart-pine floors, 11′ ceilings, hand-faceted diamond-cut glass, 12″ moldings, and wood-burning fireplaces reflect an era of artistry and precision. At the same time, updated systems and designer finishes ensure this legacy home lives as beautifully as it looks.
Designed for Modern Coastal Living
With six bedrooms, including a luxurious second-floor primary suite, multiple bonus spaces, and a rooftop terrace perfect for coastal sunsets, the residence balances history with livability.
Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a private waterfront sanctuary—a resort-style pool, firepit, and lush gardens create a tranquil escape leading to a 40′ dock with two boat lifts and a jet ski lift. A detached two-car garage provides additional storage and flexibility for hobbies or future expansion.
Where History Meets Horizon
Set on a one-acre homesite (100′ × 400′), this property offers a rare balance of privacy, space, and connection. It’s just minutes from top-rated schools, pristine beaches, renowned golf clubs, and fine dining, yet feels worlds away from the ordinary.
The Belle of the Valley isn’t just a home—it’s a living piece of Northeast Florida history, reimagined for today’s waterfront lifestyle. A place where craftsmanship, story, and setting converge to create something truly timeless.
