3407 Fairbanks Grant Rd N⋅Jacksonville, FL

A 2026 renovation sets the tone here: luxury vinyl plank flooring, white shaker cabinetry and light veined stone counters across a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home of 1,531 square feet in Jacksonville's Lake Mandarin neighborhood. Vaulted ceilings and a skylight lift the main living area, where the living room, dining space and kitchen share one open floor plan beneath a tiered pendant chandelier. Sliding glass doors open to the rear patio and courtyard, keeping the cooking, the conversation and the fresh air connected. The kitchen is equipped with an electric range and dishwasher. Out back, a wood deck with lattice screening looks toward the lake and mature trees, and the fenced yard keeps the space defined and easy to use. The primary suite has its own sliding glass door to the outdoors, a quiet way to begin the morning away from the main living areas. The home was built in 1979 and is recorded on the county plat as Lake Mandarin Unit 04, with a monthly HOA fee of $27. Construction details include a composition shingle roof, cream and tan siding with dark brown trim, and a two-car garage behind a paneled overhead door. The rear patio sits enclosed and is reached through a lattice gate. Zoning places the property at Mandarin Middle School and Mandarin High School, both A-rated under the Florida DOE 2025-26 school grades and confirmed against the 2026-27 attendance zones. This pocket of southside Jacksonville puts everyday errands and dinner out close at hand, with Bonefish Grill 0.4 miles away and The Avenues and the Shoppes at Bartram Park handling the bigger shopping trips. Downtown Jacksonville is roughly a 22-minute drive, and Ponte Vedra Beach is reachable for a day on the coast. Duval County itself grew 9.0% between 2018 and 2023, from 924,229 to 1,007,189 residents. Come see how the vaulted main living space and the lake-facing deck work together.
