Historic Springfield 3BR, Walk to UF Health Jax, eateries and breweries
Welcome to a beautifully restored 3-bedroom, 2-bath townhome in the heart of Historic Springfield — one of Jacksonville's oldest and most charming neighborhoods, dating back to 1869. Once home to the city's wealthiest residents and silent film stars from Jacksonville's early days as the "Winter Film Capital of the World," Springfield today is known for its restored historic homes, oak-lined streets, local murals, and a walkable local scene full of character.
This upstairs unit is accessed via a private staircase and landing, offering a sense of separation and privacy while still being part of this beautifully preserved 1914 home. Step inside to bright, airy interiors with high ceilings and historic charm woven throughout — the kind of space that feels both timeless and genuinely comfortable to settle into, whether you're here for a few weeks or a few months.
Bedrooms & Workspace
The master bedroom offers a queen bed, dedicated desk and workspace, closet, and blackout curtains — ideal for remote work, video calls, or simply catching up on email in a quiet, private space. The second bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a queen bed, closet, and blackout curtains, perfect for restful sleep no matter your schedule. The third bedroom is a cozy space furnished with a twin bed and its own dedicated desk — a great fit for a guest, a student, or additional workspace when you need it. Together, the three bedrooms offer flexibility for however you're traveling: solo, as a couple, or with family.
Bathrooms
The master bathroom features a walk-in shower and is fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a hair dryer, towels, and washcloths. The guest bathroom offers a shower/tub combo, also fully stocked with the same amenities — so you're covered no matter which bathroom you use.
Kitchen

Dishes, wine glasses, and a wine opener are also provided, ready for a home-cooked meal or a relaxed
Laundry & Comfort An in-unit, full-size washer and dryer means no laundromat runs during your stay.
Privacy film has been applied to all windows without curtains, offering added peace of mind and comfort throughout the home. Central heat and air keep the space comfortable year-round, and free WiFi keeps you connected for both work and downtime.
Location: Unbeatable
This home sits directly across the street from UF Health Jacksonville, making it an ideal basecamp for traveling healthcare professionals, medical staff, or anyone who values a genuinely short commute. Easy on/off I-95 access (Exit 353D, 8th Street) puts the rest of Jacksonville within easy reach — you're also within a reasonable drive of Baptist Medical Center, Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside, HCA Florida Memorial, Ascension St. Vincent's Southside, Baptist Medical Center South, and even Mayo Clinic.
Just a short walk brings you to some of Springfield's best local spots. Start your morning with coffee and pastries at 1748 Bakehouse, or settle in for a weekend brunch at Uptown Kitchen & Bar — their mimosa buckets are a local favorite. For dinner, you're minutes from Othello and Wafaa N Mike's Café, both serving up incredible Mediterranean-inspired dishes, or Crispy's Springfield Gallery if pizza and a casual vibe is more your speed. In the evening, grab a local beer at Strings Sports Brewery, settle into the laid-back charm of Shantytown Pub, or experience something a little different at The District, known for its private Moroccan tents and Peacock Garden.
For outdoor time, nearby Klutho Park offers shaded walking trails and a dog park, while the S-Line Urban Greenway provides a scenic, car-free path connecting Springfield straight into the heart of Jacksonville's urban core — great for a walk, run, or bike ride.
Downtown Jacksonville & the Riverfront
Just minutes away, Downtown Jacksonville offers a full day (or evening) of things to explore. Walk along the scenic Riverwalk, snap a photo at the iconic Friendship Fountain, or catch a ride on the Water Taxi for a different view of the St. Johns River. The newly developed Riverfront Plaza has quickly become a favorite gathering space downtown, and if you're a sports fan, you're also close to catching a Jacksonville Jaguars or Jumbo Shrimp game.
A Neighborhood Worth Experiencing
Springfield isn't just a place to stay — it's a neighborhood with genuine character. As the sun sets, many of the neighboring historic homes light up their trees with twinkling lights, adding a warm, welcoming glow to an evening stroll. And if your stay happens to line up with November, don't miss Jacksonville PorchFest — one of the most beloved events in the city, when Springfield's historic front porches transform into live music stages for a citywide block party filled with local musicians, food, art, and community spirit. It's one of the best possible times to experience this neighborhood firsthand.
Whether you're here for a work assignment, a fresh start, or simply an extended stay somewhere with real character, this historic Springfield home offers comfort, flexibility, and an unbeatable location — all right outside your door.

About the host
Hosted by Tonya La Barbera
I'm based in Jacksonville, FL, and after over 20 years in a corporate career, I left it behind to restore historic homes and help people find their way home — literally and otherwise. I love this city's history, and Perry St is one of my favorite projects — a beautiful old Springfield home brought back to life. Hosting lets me share that love with guests passing through, and I genuinely enjoy making sure people feel welcomed and taken care of during their stay.
Why they chose this property
Perry St sits in the heart of Springfield, one of Jacksonville's oldest and most charming historic neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, beautifully restored Victorian and Craftsman homes, and a real sense of community. You're just minutes from downtown, Riverside, and some of the city's best local coffee shops and restaurants, but the neighborhood itself feels quiet and residential. What I love most is the character — every home has a story, and walking the streets feels like stepping back in time while still being close to everything the city offers.
What makes this property unique
This home is a beautifully restored piece of Jacksonville history — a historic Springfield duplex with all the character of the era (high ceilings, original architectural details) paired with modern comforts guests actually want: full furnishing, a dedicated workspace, and a layout designed for a comfortable stay whether you're here a few nights or a few months. It's walkable to downtown and close to UF Health, making it a great fit for travelers, medical professionals, or anyone wanting a comfortable home base with real character.
