About this home
Keystone Heights
Welcome to the most charming home near historic downtown keystone! Not only does this beauty offer an unbeatable location, just a short walk from shopping and schools- it also boasts an open floor plan that allows for seamless living and maximum comfort. The real highlight of this home is the covered back porch that overlooks the fenced back yard. You will notice adorable features such as pocket doors, lazy susan kitchen cabinets, and a bedroom window nooks with storage under the seat! The side car garage helps to keep the farmhouse curb appeal, while simultaneously supplying convenience and ease of use. This home is on city water and sewer!!! The master bath features a walk-in glass shower, garden tub with jets, dual vanity, and to top it all off... His and hers closets! You'll be delighted to have lower homeowners insurance because a new roof and HVAC system was installed in 2022, and a new water heater was installed in 2023!
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.

Sun & Light
Southeast-facing backyard — winter sunrises, bright mornings
The listing reports the home facing northwest, which puts the backyard on the southeast side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:27 AM, sunset 7:02 PM.
- The rear takes strong morning-to-midday sun and eases off by late afternoon; in winter the sun rises almost straight into this exposure.
- A comfortable compromise lot: real pool sun without the western afternoon heat.
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.

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$5,100/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 792 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
