About this home
Jacksonville
Price Reduced! Paradise awaits for this affordable, waterfront, pool-home on the navigable St. Johns River! Amazing sunsets and sunrises can been enjoyed best from the luxurious dock with 2nd story, 10k lb. boat lift, jetski lift, seating area, power and water. This property is almost half of an acre on a gorgeous waterfront property protected by a newer seawall with no HOA! Traditional floorplan that has an opportunity to convert the rear den into an owners suite, making it a 4/2. Property is equipped with gas and has a tankless hot water heater, gas-log fireplace and Wolf range. The original hard wood floors are in excellent condition and the home is move-in ready. This section of the river is a prime location for water sports. Only about a 30 minute boat ride to the ocean or downtown. Less than 10 minutes commute to I-295, 20 mins to Downtown or JAX JIA and 15 minutes to the Beach. Could serve as an excellent primary residence or vacation home!
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 1955)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,735 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): $6,440/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$15,500/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.
