DIRECT ST. JOHNS RIVER FRONTAGE WITH PRIVATE DOCK, SEAWALL, AND BOATHOUSE — A RARE 1910 WATERFRONT HOME IN HISTORIC ASTOR WITH 4 BEDROOMS, 4 BATHS. Located at 55316 CLAIRE STREET in the heart of ASTOR, FLORIDA, this WATERFRONT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE sits directly on the ST. JOHNS RIVER, offering NAVIGABLE WATER ACCESS, AN UPDATED PRIVATE DOCK, CONCRETE SEAWALL, AND BOATHOUSE, features that are increasingly difficult to find at this price point. Built in 1910 and thoughtfully expanded over time (effective year 1995), the home offers 2,714 TOTAL SQUARE FEET of living space across 4 BEDROOMS AND 3 BATHROOMS, blending OLD FLORIDA CHARACTER with functional modern living. The property sits on an approximately 0.19–0.20 ACRE WATERFRONT LOT (±8,500 SQ FT) with WEST-FACING FRONT EXPOSURE and unobstructed river views that capture stunning sunsets, wildlife activity, and year-round boating enjoyment. The MAIN HOME FEATURES 3 BEDROOMS AND 3 BATHS, including a PRIMARY BEDROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR, formal living and dining rooms, a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, and expansive windows overlooking the river, while an ATTACHED 1-BEDROOM / 1-BATH APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE ENTRANCE sits above the 2-CAR GARAGE, ideal for MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING, GUEST SUITE USE, OR RENTAL INCOME(currently tenant-occupied). Interior finishes include ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING, SOLID WOOD CABINETRY, and UPDATED KITCHENS WITH GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, along with refreshed lighting throughout the living spaces. Major systems have been addressed, including UPDATED HVAC, UPDATED WATER HEATER and durable METAL ROOFING, a key advantage for longevity and insurance considerations. The property is located in FEMA FLOOD ZONE AE (not X), with mitigation steps already taken. Outside, the riverfront setting is the true differentiator: DIRECT DEEP-WATER ACCESS, space for fishing, boating, kayaking, and easy travel north toward PALATKA or south toward DELAND AND THE WIDER ST. JOHNS WATERWAY SYSTEM. Astor itself carries deep Florida history, once serving as a hub for STEAMBOAT TRADE AND TIMBER TRANSPORT IN THE LATE 1800s, and today remains known for its OLD FLORIDA RIVER TOWN CHARM, OUTDOOR RECREATION, AND UNDEVELOPED NATURAL SURROUNDINGS, offering a slower pace that is increasingly sought after by buyers escaping more congested markets. This is a UNIQUE WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITY for buyers seeking RIVER ACCESS, DOCKAGE, CHARACTER, AND LONG-TERM VALUE, rather than a cookie-cutter replacement home. DIRECT ST. JOHNS RIVER FRONTAGE WITH PRIVATE DOCK, SEAWALL, AND BOATHOUSE — A RARE 1910 WATERFRONT HOME IN HISTORIC ASTOR WITH 4 BEDROOMS, 4 BATHS, AND NO MORTGAGE.
