About this home

Jacksonville

Motivated sellers are ready—come claim your dreamy suite and kitchen goals in one perfect package! Built in 1927 but full of modern-day magic, this two-story gem shines brightest in all the right places—starting with the spa-like owner's suite. Upstairs, you'll find a serene retreat complete with a beautifully updated bathroom (hello, soaking tub!) and a walk-in closet roomy enough for your entire wardrobe—and then some. Downstairs, the kitchen is a showstopper, with marble countertops and a natural gas range that makes cooking feel more like play than chore. Whether it's pancakes or pasta night, this kitchen is ready for your best recipes. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, two living rooms, and a backyard built for barbecues (natural gas grill included), there's space to relax, host, and enjoy every day.Updates? Covered. New roof (2021), new first-floor HVAC (2022), and a Generac generator for peace of mind.

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.32% · 30yr$3,643
Property taxesest. at asking price, Duval County$1,083
Estimated total, before insurance$4,726/mo
Seller’s 2024 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$9,144/yr · $762/mo
  • • 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: Shingle — 2021 per the listing

A recent roof is the single biggest lever on Florida homeowners-insurance pricing.

Solar potential: ~1,556 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 home

This 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.

Around this address

Nearby, from public data

The closest public beach, park, water access, league fields and grocery store from this home's location.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.

Sun & Light

Southwest-facing backyard — long light and winter sunsets

The listing reports the home facing northeast, which puts the backyard on the southwest side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:34 AM, sunset 6:48 PM.

  • The rear carries sun from midday deep into the evening, and in winter the sun sets almost straight into this exposure — the longest usable outdoor light of the diagonal lots.
  • Summer late-afternoons run hot, and shading the lanai’s west edge earns its keep.

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.

Cost to own

Taxes & assessment

2024 property taxes (current owner): $9,144/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$13,000/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. 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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
