1946 Jacksonville Waterfront-Area Home, Big Systems Done — $140,000

The roof, the HVAC, and the water heater are all new within the last five years. Roof in December 2020, HVAC and water heater both in 2023. On a house priced at $140,000, that matters. Those are the jobs that cost real money and take real time to plan for, and here they are already done.

The house is a 1946 three-bedroom, two-bath in Tallulah-North Shore, 1,472 square feet. Beyond the three bedrooms, there are two additional flex rooms, which gives you options depending on what you need. Office, guest space, whatever. That is a reasonable amount of room for the price.

The interior needs cosmetic work. The listing says so plainly, and you should take that at face value. Paint, floors, fixtures, possibly more. This is a house where someone with a clear idea of what they want and a willingness to do the work will come out ahead. Someone who wants everything done already will need to look elsewhere.

Outside there is a fenced backyard, described as newer. The waterfront designation is part of what puts this on the map. Jacksonville has a lot of water running through it, and Tallulah-North Shore sits near the St. Johns River area, which puts waterfront recreation within reach even if the house itself is on a residential road.

No HOA. On a block like this, in a neighborhood like this, that means you can do what you need to do without asking permission or paying fees for the privilege.

The location puts you close to I-95, UF Health, Downtown Jacksonville, and Main Street. The listing mentions neighborhood parks and waterfront recreation, which lines up with where this part of the city sits geographically.

This is a coming soon listing, no showings yet. So you are looking at it in advance and deciding whether it is worth getting in line for. Given the price, the square footage, the extra rooms, and the mechanical work already done, it probably is worth that much attention.
