About this home
Mandarin Meadows
Discover the perfect blend of Old Mandarin charm and modern updates in this beautifully refreshed bungalow tucked away on nearly an acre of lush, palm-filled landscape. Step inside to find a welcoming foyer that opens to a spacious living area with a stone fireplace, French doors, and abundant natural light. The glass-enclosed Florida room (has AC) overlooks the sparkling pool—recently upgraded with a new pump ('21) and liner ('25)—creating an ideal spot to unwind year-round. The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, featuring a new roof, Hardiboard concrete siding, and all-new windows and front door ('22). Inside, enjoy new interior paint, resurfaced ceilings ('25), updated trim, and stylish six-pane interior doors. The kitchen boasts updated cabinets, new countertops ('25), and modern appliances, including a new range ('24) and dishwasher ('25). Amazing flex room that could be a 3rd bedroom!

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 1981)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,404 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.
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.

Taxes & assessment
2024 property taxes (current owner): $4,139/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$7,500/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.
