LAKEFRONT BEAUTY! This amazing lakefront home offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience—just minutes from town and zoned for great schools. Step into the spacious, open floorplan...the updated kitchen has lovely white cabinetry, nice counters, and SS appliances. The inviting living room showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a cedar mantle, and a stunning worm-wood cypress accent wall. French doors open to a large 20x18 covered porch with classic white railings and the peaceful views of Lake Brooklyn. The oversized master suite is a private retreat with lake views, and its own set of French doors to the backyard, and a spa-like bathroom complete with separate vanities, a bidet, and another set of sliding glass doors that lead outside. The lake level has been rising dramatically & will continue to do so. Now is the time to get your best deal on the water as they continue to improve! Close proximity to JAX and Gainesville, but w/o giving up the country!

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).

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 792 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Outside all hurricane evacuation zones
This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1978)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Septic system (public record) · Public water · Clay County Utilities
County records indicate an onsite septic system — budget a septic inspection before closing (typically $300–$500) and expect pump-outs every 3–5 years.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,403 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.

Ask about this homeAs of July 2026, 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.
