165 Jardin De Mer Pl

Looking for beach living without the beachfront price tag or the maintenance that comes with it? Whether you're searching for a full-time home, an easy beach retreat, or a smart investment near the coast, this spacious 3-bedroom condo delivers a lot to love in a location that's hard to beat. Located on the second/top floor, this residence means no neighbors above and vaulted ceilings that give the living spaces an open, airy feel. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, with no carpet, while a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the main living area. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, and the washer and dryer are included for everyday convenience. The owner's suite offers a walk-in closet and its own covered balcony, creating a private spot for morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide plenty of flexibility for guests and a home office, or flex space. A detached one-car garage gives you secure parking plus extra space for bicycles, beach chairs, surfboards, and all the gear that comes with living this close to the ocean. You also have an additional assigned parking space. Major updates include a new roof in 2025, an A.O. Smith water heater in 2024, and a Carrier HVAC system in 2017. The building's exterior and doors were recently painted, adding to the community's fresh, well-maintained feel. The low association dues cover exterior building and structural maintenance, lawn and grounds maintenance, and trash, leaving you more time to enjoy the reason you're here in the first place. Let's talk location, because this one shines. Walk to local favorites like Angie's Subs, TacoLu, and Engine 15 Brewing Co., then head just over a mile to the Atlantic Ocean and everything Jacksonville Beach has to offer, from the sand and surf to restaurants, bars, and entertainment. Three bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, no neighbors above, a garage, low-maintenance living, and the beach just minutes away. This is the kind of Jacksonville Beach lifestyle that's easy to settle into.
