About this home
St. Johns
Welcome to 518 Rittburn Lane, a move-in ready custom home in Lakes at Mill Creek built in 2018 and designed for real life. This 4-bedroom plus office, 3-bath home with a 3-car garage offers a bright, open layout with 9-foot ceilings and thoughtful finishes throughout. The gourmet kitchen is the centerpiece, featuring 42-inch maple cabinetry, an oversized island, a 5-burner gas cooktop, and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving and glass-fold doors. Smart-living upgrades add everyday convenience, including app-controlled exterior lighting, tankless water softener, LG washer and dryer, LG dishwasher, and a whole-home portable gas generator. Step outside to a Key West-style screened pool designed by John Clarkson Pools. Perfect for cooling off in the hot Florida summers and for someone who doesn't want the maintenance of a large pool! Easy to maintain salt water system with spa shelf, fountains and peaceful pond views. 142 Sqft and 2946 Gallon. This is a spool, not a full size pool.

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).

Sun & Light
East-facing backyard — the morning-light lot
The listing reports the home facing west, which puts the backyard and pool on the east side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:26 AM, sunset 7:00 PM.
- A pool back here warms with the morning and sits in shade by late afternoon: cooler water than a west lot, and evening swims without the glare.
- The rear takes the sunrise and the gentle morning sun, then goes shaded through the afternoon — the classic comfortable-summer-evening lanai in Florida.
- The front of the home carries the hot western afternoon instead of your living space.
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.

Taxes & assessment
2024 property taxes (current owner): $4,236/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$9,200/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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
