Welcome to 1655 Challen a charming Avondale-area bungalow with meaningful updates and hard-to-find features.

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.
