Ranch-Style 3BR/2BA on a Large Corner Lot in Arlingwood
What sets 1442 East Brookmont Avenue apart is the generous 0.28-acre corner lot and the thoughtful single-story layout that lives larger than its 1,542 square feet. Pull into the circular driveway and you immediately notice the practical parking setup—an attached one-car garage plus additional driveway space—perfect for guests, a boat, or a small trailer. Inside, original hardwood floors run throughout most of the living spaces, lending warmth and authentic mid-century character beneath a series of tasteful updates.
The kitchen has been modernized with soft-close cabinetry and under-cabinet lighting that upgrades daily routines without compromising the home’s original bones. Adjoining living spaces include a bright Florida room fitted with newer windows and a screened patio that extend the footprint of the house for casual dining, hobbies, or a shaded place to read. Two full bathrooms and three comfortable bedrooms are arranged on a single level—an ideal plan for buyers seeking easy circulation and low-maintenance living.
Outdoor living is a strong asset: the corner lot provides room for play, vegetable beds, or a future pool; a storage shed adds utility; and the screened patio expands enjoyment of Jacksonville’s seasonal evenings. The home’s block construction, central HVAC, and shingle roof (age currently unknown) reflect a well-maintained property that has benefited from owner updates since the 2020 purchase.
Located in Arlingwood, the house sits a short stroll from Arlingwood Playground (about 0.3 miles) and offers straightforward access to Mill Creek Road, Regency Square shopping, and routes into downtown Jacksonville. Families will note nearby public schools have below-average ratings, which leads many buyers in the area to explore private-school options or weigh proximity against commute times and lifestyle. With a balanced local market and recent comps in the $260k–$280k range, this ranch is a compelling value for move-in buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking steady rental demand.

A factual market snapshot around 1442 East Brookmont Avenue.
Arlingwood's market is best described as balanced with a slight seller tilt. Local metrics show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 45—conditions that support steady demand without the volatility of a hot market. Median sale price for the area is about $275,000; recent nearby sales used for valuation include 8342 Brookmont Ave E ($279,000 on 11/2024), 1424 Brookmont Ave E ($280,000 on 10/2024), and an earlier sale at 1027 Brookmont Ave E ($317,500 in 2022). Those comps drive a valuation range for this property of approximately $260,000–$280,000 with a midpoint near $270,000 ($175/SF).
Single-family ranches like 1442 East Brookmont tend to perform well here because they match buyer preferences for single-level living, yard space, and parking—features that are in steady demand among families, downsizers, and investors. Inventory remains relatively tight versus long-term norms, which typically benefits sellers, yet appreciation has been modest: about 4% year-over-year and roughly 15% over five years. Rental comparables suggest an estimated rent around $1,800/month, producing a gross yield near 8% if used as an investment. Given these local signals—limited inventory, short DOM, and comparable sales clustered in the mid-$200Ks—now is a reasonable time for qualified buyers to engage, especially those targeting value and immediate usability rather than heavy renovation.
