Property Description
The inviting living room features the home's original fireplace, a beautiful historic detail that serves as a focal point, though it has not been used by the current owner.
High ceilings and large windows fill the space with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bright, eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining or entertaining. The owner's suite is a true retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms offer versatility for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. A full guest bathroom serves the upper level, while a convenient half bath is located on the main floor for everyday living. Outdoor living is at the heart of this home's appeal. Enjoy the breeze from any of the four grand porches, front and back, upstairs and downstairs. These outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of one of Jacksonville's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods.
Located in the east quadrant of Historic Springfield, 1838 Walnut Street sits within the area of the annual Springfield PorchFest, one of Jacksonville's most beloved community events. PorchFest is a walkable outdoor music and arts festival that takes place each fall, transforming the neighborhood's porches into stages and sidewalks into gathering spaces.
This address is right in the heart of the action, close to where performances, food vendors, and art displays are located. During PorchFest, Main Street and 5th Street divide the neighborhood into quadrants, and Walnut Street, just east of Liberty Street, runs north to south between 1st Street and 10th Street. Living here means being steps from the porches that host live performances and surrounded by the energy that makes Springfield such a unique place to call home.Beyond PorchFest, this home offers convenient access to Springfield's locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. Favorites such as Social Grounds Coffee Roasters, 1748 Bakehouse, Tulua Bistro, Uptown Kitchen & Bar, Crispy's Springfield Gallery, Strings Sports Brewery, and Hyperion Brewing Company are all within a short walk or bike ride. Whether you're grabbing a morning espresso, enjoying brunch, or meeting friends for dinner, the walkable urban lifestyle here is unmatched.Recreational opportunities are equally close by. Klutho Park, one of Jacksonville's most historic green spaces, is only a few blocks away and offers walking trails, open lawns, and community events throughout the year. The area's mature tree canopy, historic architecture, and strong sense of community create an environment that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.Living in a designated historic district also offers unique benefits.
The Springfield Preservation and Revitalization (SPAR) community works actively to maintain the area's architectural integrity, host events, and promote economic growth. Residents take pride in preserving the neighborhood's early 20th-century homes while embracing the cultural diversity and creativity that define modern Springfield.
Additional home features include a fenced backyard with alley access and gated parking, pedestrian gates on both sides, and a convenient location near downtown Jacksonville. The combination of privacy, walkability, and accessibility makes this home ideal for those seeking balance between city living and neighborhood charm.
