About this home
Davis Shores
Looking for a home in the iconic North Davis Shores neighborhood of St. Augustine? Look no further than this spacious and lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Mid-Century Modern gem. Built in 1954, this character-filled home features a cozy fireplace, separate office and a generous yard with glimpses of the Intracoastal Waterway, and even peeks of the historic Castillo de San Marcos Fort. This concrete block home offers a solid foundation for your personal touches—or the perfect canvas for a full renovation if that's your dream. Situated on a beautifully sized lot, just over one-third of an acre, the location is unbeatable: stroll or bike through downtown, take in the local nightlife, or head to St. Augustine's white sand beaches—all just minutes away. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods.

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).

Sun & Light
South-facing backyard — the year-round light lot
The listing reports the home facing north, which puts the backyard on the south side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:24 AM, sunset 6:59 PM.
- The rear gets sun through the day in every season — in winter, the low southern sun keeps the lanai and yard bright when north-facing yards go flat.
- A pool back here takes sun most of the day, which means warmer water in the shoulder seasons and the most useful screened-lanai light for plants.
- Summer afternoons are strong but not the direct western blast — shade sails or lanai screening handle it.
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): $2,461/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$12,800/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.
