There is a spot on the front porch at 1509-1511 Silver St, sitting under a canopy of old oaks, where it is easy to picture pulling up a chair most evenings. If you’ve been searching for a duplex for sale in Jacksonville, this Springfield duplex has that kind of porch. And it’s the kind that the neighborhood is known for.

The Home at a Glance

1509-1511 Silver St, Jacksonville, FL 32206. Priced at $469,000. Two full living units with 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms combined, just over 2,300 square feet of heated space. Built in 1914 on a 35 by 125 foot lot. Sold fully furnished.

Built in 1914, this two story duplex still carries its original character, and it has been kept up where it counts. Permits show a new roof, new HVAC, foundation work, and a replumbed main sewer line, all completed in 2020, so the big ticket systems are already handled. The kitchens have been updated with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. All three bathrooms have also been updated. Washers and dryers are included in both units. Out back is the part that sets this one apart. The yard is fully fenced, with a paved patio and a stone firepit tucked under mature oaks and palms, the kind of space that turns a Tuesday evening into something worth sticking around for.

Because this is a duplex, it can work a few different ways. Live in one unit and rent the other, extended family can share the property while keeping separate spaces, or an investor could add it to a portfolio. The current sellers have been short term renting it and can show rent rolls from that investment model. Springfield is a neighborhood built around porches, and this one fits right in. You are just steps from Klutho Park and the neighborhood gatherings held there through the year, a short walk to Main Street for local shops, restaurants, and coffee, and right in the middle of a community that shows up every fall for Porchfest, when the whole neighborhood’s front porches fill with music and neighbors. Duplexes don’t come on the market often with this much updated infrastructure and with this premium location close to the park.

The property is set up on two separate meters, and off street parking is available out front. The home is currently fully furnished and the sellers are open to selling the furniture so a buyer stepping in can move quickly. Showings are easy to schedule, just reach out and we will find a time.

At $469,000, this is a rare chance to own an updated piece of Jacksonville’s historic core. Take a look at the full listing here, and text me at 904-710-5702 whenever you want to walk through it in person.

A Few Questions Buyers Usually Ask

What has been updated on the property? Permits show a new roof, new HVAC system, foundation work, and a replumbed main sewer line, all completed in 2020. The kitchen has also been updated with granite counters and stainless steel appliances.

Can I buy this as an investment property? Yes. With two units already set up and furnished, it works well as an income property, a house hack where you live in one side, or a straightforward buy and hold rental. Reach out and we can talk through the numbers for your situation.
