Investor special with endless potential in Jacksonville! Ideally located just minutes from the scenic Trout River and west of I-95, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on a generously sized lot offering space, privacy, and opportunity. Featuring a one-car garage and a large covered screened room, this property is perfect for enjoying Florida living year-round. The home is built on an off-grade foundation, giving you flexibility to reimagine and renovate without the constraints of slab construction--ideal for investors or buyers looking to customize. This property does need TLC and is priced accordingly. The septic system will need to be replaced, making this a great project for those ready to bring their vision to life. As a bank-owned property, it presents a strong value-add opportunity in an area where affordable homes and investment properties continue to attract attention. Whether you're looking to flip, rent, or create your own space, this is your chance to unlock the potential of a large lot in a convenient Jacksonville location close to major roadways, waterways, and established neighborhoods.
