Jacksonville locals know that homes like this rarely become available. Offered for the first time in 25 years, this Single-Level home on highly sought-after South 3rd Street is one of the community's most coveted finds. Just moments from Historic Downtown Jacksonville, the Britt Amphitheater, and the Woodlands Trail System, this well-maintained home is in excellent condition with a new roof in 2025, offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy now while making it your own over time. Beautiful forest views welcome you from the front yard, while the home opens to a surprisingly private backyard retreat on a spacious 0.37-acre property. A bonus tax lot at the rear, with additional access and space for boat & RV parking, enhances the sense of space and privacy. Inside are 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room, 2.5 bathrooms, a large open kitchen, hardwood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a vaulted primary suite, a generous laundry room, an attached garage, a fenced yard, and inviting back patio.
