Lorraine's Home Away From Home - Walking distance to Five Points

Lovingly restored, this 1923 historic gem features original architectural details and cozy, sunlit rooms with gleaming hardwood floors.

Enjoy spacious living areas, and an updated kitchen that combines modern appliances with classic charm. Relax on the inviting front porch swing, ideal for sipping coffee or watching the sunset.

This 1923 home blends old-world charm with modern convenience—where the past meets the present in perfect harmony! Situated on a lively street with plenty of activity and local flavor, offering you a vibrant and engaging neighborhood experience.

For your peace of mind and to keep everything running smoothly, we have a few friendly watchers in place! We’ve got three external cameras keeping an eye on the street, driveway, backyard, and even the AC units. Plus, our Ring doorbell adds an extra layer of security, with its chime located on the dining room wall—no sound recording, just a cheerful little beep to let us know when someone's at the door. Rest easy knowing we've got things covered, so you can focus on enjoying your stay!

Fabulous location and Fabulous house!

We loved staying here while visiting family for the Holidays. The house had everything we needed, was beautifully decorated and in walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. We can’t wait to come back again next time we visit Jacksonville.

Stylish and comfortable!

We stayed for 5 nights. Excellent communication with the host before and during stay. Beautifully renovated with high grade finishes, new appliances, etc. Comfortable mattresses and bedding, plush towels, generous supply of toiletries. Kitchen has large pantry stocked for every need, soaps, cleaning supplies, paper supplies. All we could ask for as far as coffee supplies. Loved the porch swing and seating on back porch. Lots of storage. Walk to shops and restaurants. Historic area, near the St. John’s river, walk a quick drive to parks. We will return.

Respite

We came to Jacksonville for a funeral. We could not have had a cleaner and more comfortable place. The owner was thoughtful and responsive. The house was a respite for us during a difficult time.

Historic Charm in Riverside, walk to restaurants!

Lorraine was the most gracious host!! I would stay again in a heartbeat, the space is carefully and beautifully designed, heavenly beds, well appointed kitchens and bathrooms. The house is beautiful, it was even decorated for the holidays. The host did not leave any needs unaddressed. She even checked on us during inclement weather. Would 100% stay here again. Thank you Lorraine!

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Walsh

Host profile image
Originally from Ireland, we have called Jacksonville home for 26 years. We have four kiddos: one just graduated from FSU, one is a senior at FSU, and our third is a Freshman at the Univerity of South Carolina. Our caboose is 12, now in 7th grade. We love the Riverside area of Jacksonville, which reminds us of Ireland with its distinct charm and beauty.

Why they chose this property

As mentioned above, our Irish roots were ignited when we found the Riverside area of Jacksonville. It reminded us so much of our hometowns, and we fell in love with it from the first time we saw it. My husband, Michael is a General Contractor and always wanted to get involved in a restoration project with one of these homes. This is the home he chose.

What makes this property unique

This 1923 home is listed as an historic home. It has proudly been a part of the Riverside Tour of Homes in 2024. Everything about it exudes charm and warmth, and it has been restored with love and respect.
