About this home
Julington Creek
This spacious pool home in Julington Creek Plantation is move-in ready and sits on a large lot backed by a wooded preserve. Enjoy an open floor plan with abundant natural light, updates throughout, and versatile living areas. A split-bedroom layout provides added privacy for the main-level owner's suite, while multiple living spaces easily accommodate a home office or playroom. The upstairs bonus room can serve as a 5th bedroom, media room, or secondary living room. The heart of the home features quartz countertops and overlooks the living and dining areas, highlighted by large windows with views of the pool. The private backyard feels like a natural extension of the main living space, with a large sliding glass door leading to the screened lanai that includes a heated pool, spa, and attached greenhouse/flex space. Recent upgrades include new HVAC units installed in 2022 and 2024, along with all-new ductwork this year.

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 1997)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,664 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 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.

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.
