About this home
St. Johns
Back on the market - buyer's financing fell through. Their loss is your gain! Gorgeous townhome ready for a new owner! Imagine coming home to peace, privacy, and comfort -- all in one beautiful space. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome with a 2-car garage offers the rare feeling of space and serenity, tucked at the end of the street with extra parking, open greenspace, and preserve views. Step inside and feel the light fill the open living area, where clean, modern LVP and tile flooring create a warm, effortless flow throughout -- no carpet, no worries. The kitchen is both stylish and practical with granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a full appliance package, including a new washer and dryer. Your screened porch becomes your daily escape -- morning coffee overlooking the preserve, quiet evenings surrounded by nature, and a sense of calm that's hard to find.

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).

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $4,121/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$4,800/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.
