Jacksonville, FL 32206

Nestled on a double lot surrounded by ancient oak trees, the historic house stands as a testament to a bygone era, its architecture and atmosphere steeped in stories of the past. Details like the two fireplace facades and hardwood floors, clawfoot tubs and double front porches step back into a period of craftsmanship and history. The house is not merely a building; it is a time capsule. Its walls have witnessed the unfolding of history, hosting gatherings of families and neighbors. Originally a single family home a number of families lived here over the first decades before it was converted into a duplex. When it was restored in 2016 it was taken back to its original intent and updated. When it was restored the downstairs was redesigned into an open concept with a gorgeous kitchen with stainless appliances, wine cooler and lots of light. Downstairs features a guest bedroom adjacent to a full bath. Lots of hall storage downstairs as well. The master bedroom leads out to... the upstairs porch where you can enjoy an afternoon breeze with the Spanish moss moving gently through the live oaks that line the street to Klutho Park, just two blocks away. The master bath features both a clawfoot tub and a full separate shower, enclosed toilet and large walk in closet with a handy washer and dryer. Two more bedrooms upstairs and another full bath complete the second floor. No historic house is complete without its grounds. Often, the gardens and landscapes around these homes are as historically significant as the buildings themselves. The backyard live oak is over 450 years old. Off street parking driveways flank the house with access to the fenced back yard from either side. The huge covered deck off the rear of the house has curtains for privacy or to block the rain on a windy day. The detached workshop has two rooms for storage or hobbies and as well as its own front porch. Located just two blocks north of Klutho Park, home to many neighborhood events as well as a disc golf course, baseball field, and bike and walking paths you're in the center of everything. Two block east and you're on Main St near all the eateries and eclectic businesses. Tax records show home built in 1911, but city directory shows an Ethel Bateman, 19, clerk, living there with her widowed mom, Mary, 54, in 1904. Virtual staging done in some rooms
