Welcome to 1655 Challen a charming Avondale-area bungalow with meaningful updates and hard-to-find features. This home has been rewired with a new electrical panel, and all supply lines are CPVC or PEX, offering added peace of mind. The roof was recently replaced in 2022, making this property a standout option for buyers seeking character with important improvements already completed. Unlike many bungalows in the area, this home features two full bathrooms, adding everyday convenience and flexibility. It also includes a garage, a rare find in the Avondale area and a valuable bonus for parking, storage, hobbies, or workshop space. With classic bungalow appeal, key system updates, and sought-after extras, this home is a unique opportunity in one of Jacksonville's most desirable historic neighborhoods.
