New carpet in the upstairs bedrooms and new HVAC system. The circular drive is accompanied by an additional driveway leading to the side entry two car garage. Plenty of room for your RV or boat, or for guests to park at your next gathering. Covered patio with wood ceiling overlooks the large back yard that is typical of homes in the Mandarin area and surrounded by mature trees. The raised gardens are ready for you to plan what you will grow in the Spring. Mature fruit trees will provide a bounty of grapefruit, lemon, guava, papaya and figs. Not only is the front yard private with woods across the street, but the sides and back are all surrounded by trees and there are no shared fence lines or visible neighbors. Close Trader Joe's and Whole Foods as well as the interstate for an easy commute to downtown Jacksonville or the beaches, plus enjoy the tranquility of nature while remaining just minutes away from vibrant dining, shopping, and top-rated schools. The historic charm of Mandarin is calling you with its natural beauty and strong sense of community, which is why it is one of Jacksonville's most beloved places to call home.
