About this home

Starke

Welcome to this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath all-brick lakefront home situated on 1.8 acres along Bedford Lake. Tucked away on a quiet street, this property offers breathtaking sunset views and a peaceful setting surrounded by shady oak trees, while still enjoying the benefits of a thoughtfully upgraded home. Recent improvements include a metal roof installed in 2022 and a new water heater in 2021, providing peace of mind for years to come. The home features a 2-car attached carport, plus an additional carport perfect for storing boats, RVs, or other toys. A 12x20 shed also conveys, offering plenty of extra storage. Step out back onto the spacious deck overlooking the lake, ideal for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or hosting friends and family while taking in the serene waterfront views.

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.4% · 30yr$2,077
Estimated total, before insurance$2,077/mo
  • • 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.

Storms & insurance

Florida Reality Check

The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.

Zone X — minimal flood hazard

Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).

Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.

Outside all hurricane evacuation zones

This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.

Roof: Metal — 2022 per the listing

A recent roof is the single biggest lever on Florida homeowners-insurance pricing.

Septic system (public record) · Private well (public record)

County records indicate an onsite septic system — budget a septic inspection before closing (typically $300–$500) and expect pump-outs every 3–5 years.

Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).

Solar potential: ~1,592 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 home

As of July 2026, this 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.
