Rare opportunity in the heart of Southside! This updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home is situated on just over half an acre with no HOA. The welcoming front porch, thoughtfully updated with stained columns and modern cable railing, is just waiting for you to sit back and relax. Inside, you'll find a versatile split-bedroom floor plan, spacious bedrooms and abundant natural light. The completely remodeled kitchen showcases upgraded cabinetry, a stylish backsplash and stainless steel appliances. The remodel opened the main living area, creating a seamless flow from the kitchen and dining area into the spacious family room. Upgraded laminate flooring extends throughout the main living areas. The large owner's suite features a walk-in closet and private bath with a garden tub and separate shower. The secondary bedrooms are spacious, with one featuring its own private bathroom, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. The inside laundry room leads to the large attached two-car garage. For all your additional storage needs, you'll love the detached garage with power, ideal for a workshop, hobby space or man cave. The roof, two HVAC systems and water heater are all less than two years old, and the insulation in the attic and crawl space has also been updated. The home is on well and septic, so there are no monthly water or sewer bills! The oversized 150' x 175' lot backs to Patton Park, providing added privacy with no homes directly behind you. Conveniently located near major shopping, dining and entertainment, with Jacksonville's beautiful beaches just minutes away. This rare combination of space, privacy, location and freedom from HOA restrictions is truly a must-see!
