About this home
Melrose
Rare Opportunity on Big Lake Santa Fe! Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 60 years, this charming lakefront retreat offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and modern updates. Nestled on the prestigious Big Lake Santa Fe, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home spans 1,512 sq ft all on one level, making it ideal for year-round living or a relaxing weekend getaway. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully renovated interior with upgraded electric, plumbing, kitchen, bathrooms, and a durable metal roof for peace of mind. The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. Outside, you'll find beautifully mature landscaping, a carport, a storage shed, and a large workshop with its own covered parking area—perfect for hobbies or additional storage. But the crown jewel is the waterfront: enjoy your mornings and evenings on the private dock, relax under the covered gazebo, or take full advantage of the boathouse for all your lake toys.
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
Northeast-facing backyard — summer sunrises, all-day cool
The listing reports the home facing southwest, which puts the backyard on the northeast side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:31 AM, sunset 6:56 PM.
- The rear catches early summer sun (the sun rises almost straight into this exposure in June), then stays comfortable and shaded through the heat of the day.
- The coolest diagonal for a lanai.
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): $2,779/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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
