About this home
St. Johns
River Retreat in Rivertown - sunset views over the St. Johns River from both your front and back porch. Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac, this customized single-story home blends Southern charm with smart functionality. **Assumable Loan (Fellow VETS ONLY) of 2.75% rate with balance of $318,819** See Documents for 2nd Mortgage option to bridge the Assumable GAP! Inside, you'll find quartz countertops, a 5-burner gas stove, double ovens, and a Southern Living Charleston-inspired tile backsplash. The butler's pantry—with wine fridge—connects the gourmet kitchen to formal living space. Enjoy custom touches like a brick fireplace, plantation shutters, wood-look tile, shiplap accents, crown molding, and a converted office with built-ins. The oversized garage is fully finished with epoxy floors, built-in storage, and overhead racks. Low CDD fees, quick walk to RiverHouse amenities, and unmatched pride of ownership. They simply don't build them like this in RiverTown anymore.

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: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2018)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,582 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.
Sun & Light
North-facing backyard — the shade-and-soft-light lot
The listing reports the home facing south, which puts the backyard on the north side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:26 AM, sunset 7:00 PM.
- The rear stays out of direct sun for most of the day — the coolest lanai orientation in a Florida summer, and the softest, most even light all day.
- A pool back here gets the least direct sun: cooler water and less glare — a real preference split, so decide which camp you are in before you price it.
- Winter afternoons on the lanai run dim earlier than any other orientation.
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.

Taxes & assessment
2024 property taxes (current owner): $6,735/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$10,100/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 1,595 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
