Lovely vaulted BR & Bath downstairs, w/tongue groove thru-out could be Primary, but used as Ofc. 2nd BR down off FR. 3 large BRS up, all w/river views. Almost every room views the river & downtown Jax. Formal LR & sep FR. Kit has oak cabinetry & all appliances convey. Large Utility rm off 2 car garage. updated windows thru-out, sprinkler sys water softener, & generator, bulkhead. Do NOT walk on deck.

Supplements: There is a bulkhead and the Arlington Marina & Arlington Road Public Boat Ramp is just 1 block away. Very limited info. Home was very well cared for & is livable, but most will want to update it throughout. The heir told me he is pretty sure the plumbing has been done, the HVAC on the north side of the home was installed by Waychoff's in June 201 ...
