Great location in Southwest Jacksonville - convenient to Jacksonville, NAS Jax and area Golf Courses. Fully equipped kitchen includes service for 8, pots, pans, toaster, grill tools, coffee maker, blender, mixer.
Stairs: there are stairs and steps throughout this English Style Cottage House. Two sunken living areas (steps) as well as the 2nd floor (steps upstairs).
**Please note: The pool uses a sand filtration system. The bottom of the pool is a combination tans/browns/blues - so it will not appear crystal clear blue. The pool is serviced weekly by a professional pool mgmt company to maintain chemical balance and the filtration system. The yard is surrounded by more than a dozen trees of various sizes/types - there will be leaves around the area - and when season pollen counts are high - pollen will accumulate quickly. The pool system & waterfalls are scheduled on a timer to run the same time daily with a solar cover available to heat in the cooler months.
