This dramatic floor plan by John Long at 1916 Summit Ridge in Black Creek at Eagle Harbor is an incredible value.  1916 Summit Ridge is located in the Spring Creek neighborhood of Black Creek at Eagle Harbor, off Old Hard Road on Fleming Island.

Black Creek is part of Eagle Harbor and its amenities, but is located south of Highway 220. There is a water park with a nature walk to a dock on Black Creek. Development began in 2004, so the homes are newer and range from the mid $200,000s to $800,000s. There are three neighborhoods: Eagle Creek, Spring Creek and Cypress Creek. 1916 Summit Ridge is located in Spring Creek, a neighborhood of high end production and also custom homes, ranging from the mid $300,000s to the high $400,000s.

The home features a two story living room and two story family room as well, with beautiful views of the preserve. Granite counters and stainless appliances are in the kitchen. A back staircase leads to the loft and three upstairs bedrooms with two baths. There is a wonderful 'loft' area for children in one of the bedrooms. There are many other upgrades and architectural features to appreciate in this fine home.

You won't be disappointed in the quality of John Long's work and you are getting an exceptional buy if you make this your next home.  Offered at only $389,900, this is the best price for a custom home on Fleming Island.

What a fun time we had visiting the vendors, eating scrumptious Bar-B-Q and curly fries and watching the parade! It was honestly like stepping back to my childhood.

Here are some photos of the activities in and around Walnut Street in Green Cove Springs FL yesterday.

Frank and I enjoyed visiting with Sherry Faye who was helping her daughter run a booth for her Flower and Gift shop on Highway 16. We tried to convince her to buy one of our historic listings! Either one would be perfect for their shop.

There were dozens of booths with home  made crafts, art work, jewelry and food. There is a $50 fee to reserve a space for the day. Each vendor supplies their own tents, tables, etc. In 1999 there were only 8 booths participating, so they have really come a long way.

Walnut Street is quaint with the kind of brick buildings you would expect in a town settled in the late 1800s. They house a bookstore/coffee shop, restaurants, even a naval architecture firm.

Across the highway there is a Starbucks that has been open about a year. Nearby is the Clay Theatre, an opera house turned movie theatre in 1936. If nostalgia is what you're seeking, it's a great place to see a movie. The theatre was renovated a few years ago.

Folks were sitting in front of 'Mama and Papa Gus' home on Walnut Street. Mama and Papa Gus Gustafson owned the Gustafson Dairy just outside Green Cove. We met a woman at the parade who is 81, and she had fond memories of buying eggs, milk and butter from Mama Gus when she was a little girl. She said Mama Gus was the sweetest person she ever met.  The dairy land is slated for a development.

Southern Living magazine wrote about Christmas on Walnut Street in the November issue. The article also mentioned Clay County's 150th Anniversary celebration.

Hundreds of people lined Palmetto and Walnut Streets waiting for the 2pm Parade. The crowd was very friendly and we enjoyed the combination of fire trucks, floats, antique cars and marching bands. Florida has a lot of festivals, but this is one I would definitely attend next year.

Join us for an Open House during the Christmas on Walnut Street Celebration in Historic Green Cove Springs today. 

The time is 11-1 pm.

This home has been gutted and most of the hard work has been done. It is zoned C1 and would be a perfect restaurant, professional office, or it could remain a residence.

The owners were planning a restaurant, so much of the renovations were done with that in mind. The home has a rare double lot with huge shed on the extra lot.

With over 4000 sq ft under roof, this home has many options. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, plumbed for 2 more, and is offered at $299,000.

713 Spring Street Green Cove Springs FL.

This home has been completely restored during a two year process and would be a beautiful bed and breakfast.The owners renovated with this in mind, so there is a separate entrance, parlor upstairs for guests, and three bathrooms and three bedrooms upstairs.

Zoned C2, this home could also remain a residence, or you could have a business and live in it also. The possibilities are endless!

This home has almost 2500 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. It is offered at $389,000.
