1475 Belvedere Ave Jacksonville, FL 32205

Charming historic Avondale pool home with some modern conveniences incorporated for a perfect mix of classic meets function. Lovingly preserved, 1475 Belvedere Avenue maintains most of its 1922 features with gleaming wood floors, and extensive millwork including detailed crown molding, door/window casings, extended baseboards, raised panel woodwork, custom built-ins, fireplace surround, and more. The updated bathrooms and kitchen have brought the home into the 21st century while not departing too much from the home's history. On the first level, the light and bright formal sitting room is reminiscent of a parlor and is large enough to entertain all of your guests. It connects to the enclosed sun room for an additional flex room that you can use however you desire; maybe a home office, art room, or place for your plants to enjoy the sun. The cozy family room connects to the updated kitchen with stainless appliances and windows over the sink to look through while doing the dishes. The home has access to natural gas which is used for the stove and water heater and accessible for other uses as well. The added butler's pantry will be a much-valued space for additional storage, keeping your larger appliances, a bar and/or a coffee bar. Additionally, there is a walk-in pantry space for even more storage; something that can be hard to find in a historic home. The wooden stairs lead you up to the generously sized bedrooms and an oversized laundry/utility room. The primary suite features a fireplace, lots of natural light, extra storage nooks, and an ensuite bathroom with large walk-in shower. The wood floors continue into the secondary bedrooms that share an updated bathroom. The thoughtful design continues outdoors with an extended driveway that is a rare find in this neighborhood. The paved driveway can fit many cars and leads up to the covered carport, with an attached storage room that could also be a workshop. The screened side porch is fitted with roller shades making it an additional space to enjoy your morning coffee or maybe an end of day refreshment. The back yard is accented with mature landscaping surrounding the sparkling pool. There is a mix of sun and shade so you can work on your tan, or rest in the shade. Back yard is also already set up with an electric fence ($2000 and only 5 months old); so all you need is a compatible collar for your furry friend. All of this in the desirable Avondale community, one of the few neighborhoods where the mailman still delivers the mail to the door by foot. Whether you walk, bike or drive, the beautiful tree lined streets will lead you to the Shoppes of Avondale (1/2 mile away) and Riverside's 5 Points area where some of the best restaurants in town are located. It is also walking distance to a variety of city parks so you can choose your adventure of a shaded playground at Boone Park, wide open green spaces at Adams Park, waterfront views at Memorial Park, sports courts at Fishweir Park, and many more. There is even a little public pocket park tucked away in the median just a few doors down. This home has endless opportunities for enjoyment and it is ready for you to make memories of your own here.
