Rare Opportunity: Bank Owned Home in Avondale

It's been a busy time for me since the last time I posted. I had the opportunity to attend Prudential Real Estate Affiliates national convention in Austin, Texas, where I was honored to be part of a panel of up and coming agents. More on this later...

For now I could not wait to share this listing on Avondale Avenue.



For a while there all anyone was talking about was the "crisis" in real estate. And it certainly has been a tumultuous time. Nevertheless Avondale has been partially shielded from the devastation in other markets. Certainly values have declined but the caché of a historic district is inarguable. "They just aren't building any more 100-year-old homes," I've heard it said. Even though Avondale's true growth spurt was in the 1920s and 1930s, the point is made. For lovers of historic architecture in a neighborhood with mature trees, Avondale is hard to beat in Jacksonville.

Since Avondale has been spared somewhat, it is rare for a great bargain buying opportunity to show up like this bank-owned 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home at 1277 Avondale Avenue.



Directions: Take the Edgewood Ave South exit off US-17/Roosevelt Blvd. Make a left onto Randall St, then your first right onto Challen. Veer left onto Avondale Ave and the home is on your left.

This great deal in a great location has everything you would expect in a 1931 brick Tudor home: hardwood floors, fireplace, built-ins, character galore.

Call me, Josh Nugent, for a chance to own this beautiful bargain in Jacksonville's historic Avondale.
