Step into a distinguished piece of Jacksonville history in the heart of coveted Historic Avondale. Built in 1924 for prominent businessman Albert H. Laney, this elegant Colonial Revival home showcases rich historic character and thoughtful updates--all set within one of the city's most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods. From its distinctive tan brick exterior to the stately Doric columns that frame the front entry, the home offers a timeless and elegant first impression. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers 2,275 square feet of beautifully maintained living space, featuring 9-foot ceilings and a welcoming foyer with an arched entry into the main living areas.

The sunroom is filled with natural light and offers a versatile space perfect for a home office or a cozy lounge where you can enjoy a cup of tea and a good book. The dining room is highlighted by chair rail molding and a historic ceiling medallion that frames a stylish ring chandelier. Historic charm is evident at every turn in this home--from historic sidelights and a classic letterbox at the front entrance, to original hardwood floors throughout, to the sunroom's glass doorknobs and divided-light French doors. The updated kitchen features extended-height shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. The large pantry and historic built-ins add both charm and functionality. Just around the corner is a wet bar, laundry area, half bath and mudroom.

The primary suite includes a private en-suite bath, and both full bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with beautiful new tile and gold fixtures. Outside, the large, fenced backyard offers several inviting areas ideal for entertaining or relaxing. There is room to create your own private garden and you can even harvest fruit from the peach tree for homemade jam. A rare two-car garage--complete with electrical, a separate workshop space, and built-in cabinetry--provides exceptional utility for the historic district.
