The kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with new solid surface countertops, stainless appliances, and fresh paint, blending modern convenience with vintage appeal. Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including a roof (2018), HVAC (2020), updated electrical wiring & plumbing, along with a fully repainted interior. Outdoor living continues in the rear with a 361 square foot wooden deck, overlooking a large, fully fenced backyard adorned with fruit trees and raised garden bed. Beneath the home, 342 square feet of separated storage rooms (not heated or cooled) offer excellent flexibility for storage, workshop space, or future creative use. For those dreaming bigger, the sellers commissioned professional architectural plans for a two car garage with an overhead apartment, an investment of approximately $15,000. These plans provide an exciting potential for a guest suite, rental income, or private studio--an opportunity for the next owner to build upon this home's legacy. Living here means Boone Park as your front yard and being just moments from the vibrant shops, restaurants, and cafés that make Avondale one of Jacksonville's most walkable and cherished districts - rooted in history, beauty and community.
