About this home
Melrose
1877 is when the Historic Town of Melrose Florida was established. Seems many now have found this unique culturally diverse little one Light Town. This particular property location makes it especially desirable plus it's located right in the heart of The Lake Region in North Central Florida. From here it's an easy commute to Gainesville, Palatka, Middleburg and Ocala Florida. This is your opportunity to experience a beautiful busy town with a personality! Within walking distance of this block home with two extra build-able lots are fine restaurants, art studios, doctors, shopping, on going scheduled creative activities and music events at Mossman Hall, Senior Center, the Melrose Music Store, Gator Bait Restaurant, Blue Water Bay, even at the Iconic 1935 Chiappini Gas Station. From this home you're only 2 blocks from all of this and the Historic Homes District going back to 1877 plus just 4 blocks away is 6000 acre Santa Fe Lake where you can enjoy Wake surfing
Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Flood zone not yet determined
Check the exact parcel at msc.fema.gov or ask Krista to pull it.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Evacuation zone not yet determined
Check floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone.
Roof: Membrane — year not disclosed (home built 1950)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,580 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeThis Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.

Taxes & assessment
2024 property taxes (current owner): $1,066/yr
Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
