5217 Santa Rosa Way, Jacksonville, FL 32211

This house was custom built in 1959 with solid one of a kind construction. The original blueprints were purchased by the first owner and not sold to other contractors. Steel beams were placed by the builder to make the house resistant to hurricanes. Cabinets and bookshelves throughout the house are real wood and the kitchen cabinets are solid black oak. There are hardwood floors in the three upstairs bedrooms and tons of storage space with walk-in closets boasting built-in shelves in every bedroom and two in the Master sitting room. Plus, additional closets and built-in shelves in the upstairs Master, hallway and 4th bedroom. There are even glass display shelves leading into the Master bedroom. The garage has many built-in cabinets, a workroom and a laundry room with shelves to the side. In the kitchen, there's also lots of storage with multiple drawers, two pantry areas extending out towards the dining room and special touches like the built in cutting board, cabinet for storing trays and convenient double ovens. There's abundant living space with a Terrazzo tiled foyer and dance room/game room downstairs with a walk-in closet and a bath. French doors lead to a tiled patio off the dance room and there's a sun deck off the Master bedroom leading to an enclosed 4-person hot tub. Outside, lush landscaping, abundant fruit trees and a fountain attract a variety of birds.
