Beach living does not always come with a seven-figure price tag. 464 14th Ave S in Jacksonville Beach is a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch listed at $680,000, and it sits just 4.5 blocks from the sand.

The home

Built in 1986, this single-story home has about 1,347 square feet on a 6,098-square-foot lot. Vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace give the living space character. Wood-look tile runs through the home, and the kitchen has stainless steel appliances. The primary bath has been refreshed with a rain head shower, a new vanity, new lighting, and a new mirror.

Made for easy beach days

A new side door leads to the backyard and a new deck, a good spot for a morning coffee or a weekend cookout. Inside, there is a laundry room and a one-car garage for bikes, boards, and gear. One level means no stairs to climb with a beach bag in hand.

Location

The beach is a short walk away. Whole Foods and the J. Turner Butler corridor are about five minutes by car, which makes errands and commutes simple.

Who it fits

This home suits a full-time resident who wants a low-maintenance place near the ocean. It also works as a weekend retreat. Buyers who want a first foot in the Jacksonville Beach market will find that $680,000 goes a long way here.
