About this home
Jacksonville
Welcome home to Fanning Island! Enter the front door and be mesmerized by the unobstructed elevated views of the St. Johns River and all of its boat and ship traffic. The main entry floor greets you with a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring a custom Italian plaster stove hood, brand-new cabinetry and appliances. Other updates include the laundry room and automatic sunshade blinds. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two baths and an office space. Outside, the private dock and boat house with lift is ideal for fishing and access to the river or just taking in the beautiful sunsets from the Southwest facing views. On the ground level, the home has an attached two-car garage, workshop area and a half bath. The detached 3-car garage is also included as part of the property. Situated off of Heckscher Drive on McKenna Drive adds a nice buffer and makes access easier and safer. This is more than a place to live, it's a place to experience. Come see the river life experience.

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: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 2009)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,303 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.
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.
Sun & Light
Northeast-facing backyard — summer sunrises, all-day cool
The listing reports the home facing southwest, which puts the backyard on the northeast side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:25 AM, sunset 6:59 PM.
- The rear catches early summer sun (the sun rises almost straight into this exposure in June), then stays comfortable and shaded through the heat of the day.
- The coolest diagonal for a lanai; a pool here trades warmth for comfort.
Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.

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. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
