About 143 S Roscoe Boulevard
From Riverside to Roscoe, this remarkable 1903 Greek Revival estate began its life in Jacksonville’s historic Riverside neighborhood, built for prominent banker and railroad tycoon Thomas Denham. Nearly a century later, in a feat of preservation, it was floated by barge down the St. Johns River to its spectacular setting on the Intracoastal Waterway in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Affectionately known as the "Belle of the Valley", the home offers more than 6,000 square feet across three levels — a rare combination of timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful modern upgrades. Original heart-pine floors, 11′ ceilings, hand-faceted diamond-cut glass, 12″ moldings, and wood-burning fireplaces honor its history, while updated systems and refined finishes make it perfectly suited for today’s lifestyle.
Six bedrooms span the residence, including a luxurious second-floor primary suite, rooftop terrace, and flexible bonus rooms. Every space overlooks a private backyard retreat featuring a resort-style pool, firepit, and lush gardens, all leading to a 40′ dock with two boat lifts and a jet ski lift. A detached two-car garage completes the property, with ample room for storage, hobbies, or expansion.
Set on a one-acre homesite (100′ × 400′) just minutes from top-rated schools, beaches, golf clubs, and dining, the Belle of the Valley is more than a home — it’s a legacy. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Northeast Florida history, reimagined for modern waterfront living.
