The renovation and design team at The John Gorrie a condominium has transformed the former junior high school into what is known today as Jacksonville’s most unique condominium community.  The renovated building incorporates architectural and historical components from the original school building into most of the units, allowing them to stand out from one another, including the building’s two-bedroom townhomes.

One of the community’s townhomes, Unit #1120, is a two-story, two-bedroom residence and spans1,821 square feet. Facing west with views of the beautiful gardens and two private terraces, the townhome is located in what was once the school’s gymnasium, and highlights the original hardwood floors of the former basketball court which have been preserved.

From the second floor loft looking down onto the first floor, views of painted brick walls, palladium and fan windows line the doorway that leads to one of the outside private terraces.

The unit has a spacious great room and kitchen area, which is nearly 15 feet by 37 feet. The standalone laundry room offers plenty of space for additional storage and the gourmet kitchen features a convenient eat-in countertop and bar. The kitchen also contains stainless steel GE appliances and CaesarStone countertops.

The master suite, which has a large walk-in closet, is located on the first floor with a full bathroom featuring two pedestal sinks and a modern glass shower.

In addition to their own homes, residents enjoy contemporary community amenities, which include a custom-designed fitness center, elevators, private gated parking and a resident reading room featuring Wi-Fi internet access. The restored original private courtyard provides residents with a tranquil outdoor gathering space. In every home and every common space, as much of the building’s historic and architectural significance has been preserved as possible.
