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.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.4% · 30yr$4,431
Property taxesest. at asking price, St. Johns County$1,065
Estimated total, before insurance$5,496/mo
Seller’s 2024 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$2,461/yr · $205/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).

*30-year loan at 7.4% APR (avg 30-yr rate 2026-10-08, Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED). Taxes use the county effective rate; insurance is a rough estimate — Florida premiums swing with roof age and flood zone (see the Reality Check). Actual costs may vary.

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.

Cost to own

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.
