*OPEN HOUSE SAT. SEPT. 5th 12 PM - 3 PM* Opportunities like this don't come around often--finding a 4-bedroom home in Venetia is rare, and this one combines that hard-to-find layout with major big-ticket updates already completed, including a brand new 30-year architectural roof and new hot water heater installed in May 2026. Nestled in one of Jacksonville's most established and desirable neighborhoods, this home is within walking distance to Timuquana Country Club and top-rated Venetia Elementary, while also being just minutes from NAS Jacksonville, Publix, Target, Avondale/Riverside, and Downtown. Inside, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates. Newer COREtec vinyl plank flooring runs throughout much of the home, while the updated kitchen features quartz countertops, ceiling-height white shaker cabinets, updated plumbing and electrical, and stainless steel appliances--all opening seamlessly to the spacious dining area and sunken living room, making the layout ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The spacious primary suite feels like a private retreat thanks to a stunning bathroom addition, complete with a Roman shower with dual shower heads, dual vanity sinks, quartz countertops, Bluetooth speaker system, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bathroom with refreshed tilework, vanity, plumbing, and lighting, while the fourth bedroom offers its own ensuite bathroom and private entrance--perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office setup. Additional peace-of-mind updates include an updated electrical panel (2019) and partially updated plumbing with a newer sewer line from the street to the home. A rear family room addition also offers a unique indoor-outdoor storage closet for extra functionality. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with double-gate access, an oversized driveway, and a two-car carport with plenty of room for boats, golf carts, or future pool plans. Located in a golf cart-friendly community with quick access to the Florida Yacht Club, Roosevelt Square shopping and dining, and Jacksonville's historic districts, this move-in ready Venetia home truly checks all the boxes.
What to check on this one
- Verify flood zone designation with county appraiser—unknown status requires FEMA map check.
- Confirm roof installation date (listing says May 2026—verify actual completion and warranty details).
- Order 4-point inspection (home is 75 years old; insurers require it for coverage).
- Review plumbing materials—1951 build may have cast-iron or galvanized; confirm updated lines fully.
- Check electrical panel capacity and condition given age and recent updates claimed.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
