Remodeled 3-Bed Ranch with Quartz Kitchen and Large Yard
Step into a completely refreshed ranch in Jacksonville’s quiet Raintree neighborhood where practical updates meet low-maintenance living. This single-story home centers around a remodeled kitchen finished with quartz counters and a generously sized island — a bright, functional heart for weekday breakfasts and weekend gatherings. New LVP flooring runs through the main living areas, and the neutral paint palette creates a clean backdrop for your furniture and décor.
Three comfortable bedrooms and two updated baths are arranged for ease of living; the primary suite sits on the same level as the secondary bedrooms for simple access and everyday convenience. Recent upgrades noted by the owners include updated bathroom fixtures, a new garage door, fresh interior paint and a modern HVAC system (verify age at inspection). Practical details like central AC and an electric heat pump keep systems efficient year-round.
Outside, the property opens onto a level 0.26-acre yard that’s ideal for play, gardening, or future outdoor projects. The covered, enclosed back patio extends living space for casual dining and evening relaxation while overlooking the grassy backyard. A one-car attached garage plus driveway parking accommodates vehicles and storage needs. With no city taxes and R-10 residential zoning, this home is attractive for owner-occupants and military-affiliated buyers alike.
Location is a strong suit: shopping and services are minutes away, Jacksonville Mall and regional retail are about 3–4 miles, and medical care at Onslow Memorial Hospital is nearby. Military commuters will appreciate that Camp Lejeune (Wilson Gate) and MCAS New River are reachable within the local commute range. Recent comparable sales in Raintree support a market value in the $240,000–$250,000 range, making this fully-upgraded ranch a competitively priced, move-in-ready opportunity. Buyers should confirm the age and condition of the roof and mechanical systems during inspection, but overall this home presents immediate livability with low near-term maintenance needs.

A factual market snapshot around 161 Raintree Cir.
Local market indicators point to a balanced-but-firm housing market in the Jacksonville area. Inventory sits at approximately 2.5 months — below a neutral 6-month benchmark — which tends to favor sellers for well-priced, turnkey homes. Average days on market for the neighborhood run near 40 days; homes in the Raintree area typically see moderate appreciation (about 0.05 or 5% over the past year and roughly 15% over five years). Median sale prices in the broader area are near $265,000, while recent comps in Raintree suggest a realistic value band for renovated 3BR ranches between $240,000 and $250,000. Single-family homes—especially those updated like this one—move more quickly than dated inventory due to steady demand from local military personnel and families. With limited inventory and strong rental demand locally (estimated rent roughly $1,500/month), now is a favorable time for buyers seeking a renovated, low-maintenance property or investors targeting reliable rent from the military community. As always, verify roof/HVAC ages and permit history before finalizing offers.
