About this home
Jacksonville
Tucked within the highly sought after San Jose Forest neighborhood, this impeccably renovated ranch home blends timeless charm with modern luxury all just steps from the Bolles School, shopping and dining. As you step inside, you're greeted by an open floorplan flooded with natural light, rich hardwood (Montara Reserve) flooring, and crisp fresh paint throughout. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen: quartz counters, custom white shaker cabinets with soft close hardware , a Thermador appliance package (gas cooktop, speed/convection oven, wine fridge, built- in dishwasher), and a farmhouse sink that anchors the airy island. Entertain guests effortlessly. The kitchen flows into a spacious dining and living area. Dual access to a deck invites scenic-indoor-outdoor living, perfect for morning coffee or evening get togethers. Retreat to the luxurious master suite, featuring two walk in closets and a tranquil bath with designer tile accents. The other remaing bedrooms are

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).
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 1965)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,623 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 homeThis 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.

Cost to own
Taxes & assessment
2024 property taxes (current owner): $7,168/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$12,000/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 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
