Description
Welcome to this beautifully updated bungalow nestled in the heart of Avondale, one of Jacksonville's most beloved historic neighborhoods. Built in 1909, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath charmer has been thoughtfully updated with care and attention to both style and function—offering the perfect blend of vintage character and modern convenience.
Step inside to freshly painted interiors, warm new flooring throughout, and all-new lighting that highlights the home's unique historic charm. The living space flows into a stunning kitchen featuring piped Teco gas, a brand-new gas range/oven and microwave (2025), custom backsplash, added cabinetry, and abundant storage.
Additional upgrades include a new AC system (2024), tankless water heater, 2017 roof, expanded closet and storage space, custom window treatments, new exterior shutters, and a newly added front railing. Every update was made with comfort and quality in mind.
Supplements: Enjoy quiet mornings or relaxed evenings on the oversized front porch, or retreat to the private backyard with ample space for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the Florida sunshine. Situated on a peaceful, tree-lined street, this home is just a short walk or bike ride to the scenic St. Johns River, the Shoppes of Avondale, weekly farmers markets, local cafés, restaurants, and beautiful nearby parks. This move-in ready home is a rare findcombining historic charm, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location in one of Jacksonville's most walkable and welcoming communities
