About this home
St. Augustine
Step into a piece of rare and authentic Old-World Florida with this cherished beachside cottage. Built in 1935 as a ''day house'' for visitors from town arriving via the Victory Ferry and mule-drawn trolley for a beach day, it's believed to have been relocated in the 1960s to its current spot. In the same family for 40+ years, it's now ready for its next stewards. Eligible for National Trust for Historic Preservation listing, this gem of old beach life radiates legacy and slow-living charm: a wide porch for gathering, sunlight through original windows, and classic woodwork that whispers stories of a simpler time. Watch for dolphins, play games and puzzles, feel the tides, and carry this heritage forward. West portion of parcel west of A1A does not convey, it will be subdivided at closing. Seller owns adjacent oceanfront north lot 3220 Coastal Hwy and would consider selling as well (not listed). The far south side of the 3216 will be an easement to allow for deeded beach access for th

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 on the east side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:24 AM, sunset 6:59 PM.
- The rear takes the sunrise and the gentle morning sun, then goes shaded through the afternoon — the classic comfortable-summer-evening lanai in Florida.
- 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 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
2025 property taxes (current owner): $8,731/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$13,600/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.
