The heart of the home is a chef-inspired white kitchen, complete with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, double islands and abundant cabinetry. Whether you're prepping for family meals or hosting a crowd, you'll have room to spare and style to impress. Formal living and dining rooms at the front of the home offer endless possibilities, transform them into a showstopping entertaining space, a piano room or a moody cocktail lounge to suit your vision.

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$4,570
Property taxesest. at asking price, St. Johns County$1,098
HOAbilled quarterly$249
Estimated total, before insurance$5,917/mo
Seller’s 2024 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$7,627/yr · $636/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).

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 2013)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Solar potential: ~1,778 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 home

This 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

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 7:25 AM, sunset 7:00 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; a pool here trades warmth for comfort.

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): $7,627/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$13,200/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.
