Property Description
Four bedrooms, two full baths and 1,682 sq ft on the largest lot on Monetta Drive (0.29 acre) in established Arlington Hills, with no HOA. The big-ticket work is done: the foundation has been professionally repaired with engineered piers, a finaled permit(due 11/14/26) and a transferable warranty, and the Carrier heat pump system was installed in 2021. Inside, the layout is clean and ready for your own finishes, so you can build equity with updates on your schedule. The oversized backyard has room for a garden, pool, workshop or extra parking. Desirable school district, minutes to Jacksonville University, Regency Square shopping and dining, I-295 and the Mathews Bridge to downtown, with the beaches about 20 minutes away. The engineer's report, permit and foundation warranty in the documents tab once available. Some listing photos have been virtually staged and digitally enhanced. Furniture and décor shown are not included in the sale. Why it's a good buy: - More house for the money. At $249,900, this is about $149 per square foot. Thirteen similar-size four-bedroom resales closed across Arlington this year at a median of $278,000 and $184 per square foot. Every one bought with a mortgage sold for $257,000 or more, and the only one that sold for less per square foot was an as-is investor special. Updated four-bedrooms in the area closed as high as $367,500. -Lower property taxes ahead. With Amendment 3 now passed, an owner-occupant who is a Florida resident by Dec. 31 and owns the home on Jan. 1 could pay an estimated $2,500 in 2027 and about $1,350 a year from 2028, compared with about $3,500 under the old rules. A December closing captures the 2027 savings. (Estimates only; buyer to verify with the Duval County Property Appraiser.) - The hard part is done. The foundation was repaired to an engineer's specifications, with a finaled City of Jacksonville permit and a transferable lifetime warranty. Your buyer gets the fix and the paperwork, not the risk. The engineer's letter, permit and warranty are in the MLS documents tab. - Major systems in good shape. The Carrier heat pump was installed in 2021. - Biggest lot on the street. At 0.29 acre, there's room for a pool, workshop or extra parking. - Built-in equity. The interior is clean but original, so your buyer can update on their own schedule in a neighborhood where renovated four-bedrooms sell for up to $298K.
