Cozy Coastal Retreat with Wraparound Deck

Unwind in this charming, beach-inspired home tucked into a quiet, wooded corner of Jacksonville's Arlington neighborhood. Inside, a cozy living room centers around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, with warm hardwood floors and playful nautical touches ("Life is a Beach" says it all). The open dining area and updated galley kitchen — with sleek white cabinetry, mosaic tile backsplash, and stainless appliances — make it easy to cook and gather together.

Down the hall, you'll find comfortable sleeping for the whole group: a soothing sage-green queen room, a sunny peach-toned twin room with coastal turtle and seahorse art (perfect for kids or friends), and a bright queen bedroom with its own private en-suite bath and walk-in glass shower. A tiled bonus room for lodging, lounging, reading and Arcade! Two full bathrooms keep mornings easy for everyone.

Step outside to the true showstopper: a huge wraparound deck with built-in bench seating, overlooking a private, fenced backyard framed by mature trees — ideal for morning coffee, evening cookouts, or just soaking in the Florida quiet.
