An ALL-BRICK POOL HOME under $400K! Set along a private road, this 1941 home offers the privacy, character, and flexibility that are increasingly difficult to find in Jacksonville. It is well suited for buyers who appreciate a quieter setting, generous parking, additional living space, and the opportunity to personalize a home with timeless charm. The main residence features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the detached one-bedroom, one-bath suite provides flexible space for guests, extended household members, a private office, or studio. Buyers should plan for flooring, painting, and select updates. This is not a fully renovated home, and the current asking price reflects the improvements needed. For buyers comfortable taking on cosmetic projects, it offers the opportunity to settle in and personalize the finishes along the way. Several important improvements have already been completed. The roof, HVAC system, septic tank, and drain field are approximately five years old. Other upgrades include new gutters, updated electrical wiring in both the main house and detached suite, and a new electrical panel in the garage with capacity for future components. The well is supported by a new water-filtration system and reverse osmosis, adding convenience and peace of mind. With 1,904 square feet in the main home, HUGE inground pool, pool house, one-car garage, and ample outdoor space, the property offers exceptional possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, and creating a private retreat. Its older construction provides warmth and architectural character, while its strong bones and updated major systems offer a solid foundation for its next chapter. Buyers should plan for flooring, painting, and select updates. This is not a fully renovated, turnkey home, and the current asking price reflects the improvements needed. For buyers comfortable taking on cosmetic projects, it offers the opportunity to settle in and personalize the finishes along the way.
