Summary:
If you’re looking for a recently renovated (as of Apr 23) apt in the heart of an up & coming historic district then this is the spot for you! You’ll be steps from restaurants, breweries, boutiques, coffee shops, & a bakery!
We've curated this space to give a sylvan feel reminiscent of your favorite 80s NES adventure classic!
This apt is adjacent to a busy street so you WILL experience street noise while staying here. This is a wonderful yet developing urban neighborhood.
Also, large vehicles are not recommended for guests at this property. The parking lot is relatively small / crowded and large vehicles parking here make it difficult for other guests to get in and out of the parking lot.
There is nearby street parking available for larger vehicles but it will not be in the gated area.
The Space:
Guests have access to the entire 2 BR / 1 BA apartment featuring luxury vinyl planking throughout the apartment except for the freshly retiled bathroom.
The master bedroom features a queen-sized bed bed complete with memory foam/spring mattress. Additionally, there is a night stand, a chest of drawers, and a closet.
The 2nd bedroom features a full-sized bed with a memory foam/spring hybrid mattress, two nightstands, a six drawer dresser, and a closet.
The living room includes a sleeper sofa with a cot that you pull out and pop up to form a full-sized bed when combined with the ottoman, a wall-mounted Smart TV (with local channels, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu), a desk, and a kitchen table.
The kitchen is stocked with utensils, a microwave, coffee pot, toaster oven, refrigerator/freezer, oven/range, cooking utensils/cutlery and plates.
We completely refreshed the bathroom to include a luxurious walk in shower, and a double vanity. We provide soap, shampoo, and conditioner as well as bath and hand towels and wash cloths.
We have also just added an in unit washer/dryer as well that makes this apartment the perfect spot for longer term guests.
The apartment is meant to subtly "Link" you to your favorite sword-wielding NES hero. See if you can spot the references throughout the unit!
Guest Access:
Guests have access to free in unit laundry and gated parking - limit 1 car per guest in the gated parking area due to its size.
The Neighborhood:
Springfield is amazing! It is a diverse, vibrant, up and coming neighborhood located just north of Jacksonville's downtown. You'll initially fall in love with the gorgeous late 19th/early 20th century houses but you'll want to stay for the amazing people. Join a First Friday party, check out the weekly Main Street cruise, downtown's Art Walk, Porchfest if you're in town in the fall, or one of the yearly home tours.

The brand new (as of June 2019) String Sports Brewery is directly across the street from you. Their food is AMAZING and they brew their own beer on site. This is a gem/pride of the neighborhood and I'm sure you will love its mouth-watering dishes just as much as we do!!!
