Description

Move right in and enjoy all the comfort, convenience, and lifestyle that Kensington has to offer! Lovingly maintained by the same owners for more than 25 years, this well-maintained 4-bedroom 2-bathroom brick home offers the ease of first floor living in one of Jacksonville's most established and amenity-rich communities. Fresh interior paint and numerous recent improvements make this home move-in ready. The kitchen features an upgraded Samsung refrigerator/freezer, solid-surface countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast area. Custom built-ins add warmth, character, and everyday functionality. The large sunroom provides an additional area for relaxing or entertaining. New water heater installed in 2025. New carpet scheduled to be installed in bedrooms; new roof to be replaced prior to closing. Home has upgraded hurricane-impact windows. (See Features Sheet for additional upgrades). Residents of Kensington enjoy exceptional community amenities, including a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, sand volleyball, and a playground. Ideally located in Jacksonville's desirable Southside, you'll be just minutes from St. Johns Town Center, The Avenues Mall, Mayo Clinic, downtown Jacksonville, the Beaches, and a wide variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate convenient access to EverBank Stadium and VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, while golfers are just a short drive from Deerwood Country Club, Jacksonville Golf & Country Club, Windsor Parke Golf Club, and world-renowned TPC Sawgrass. With major improvements already completed, or scheduled prior to closing, the next owner can simply move in and begin enjoying everything this wonderful Kensington community has to offer.
