About this home
Jacksonville
Wake up to the sound of the river, step outside with your coffee, and watch the sun rise over the water... this is the kind of home that makes everyday life feel like a getaway. Set directly on the St. Johns River, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers the kind of waterfront lifestyle most people only dream about. Whether you're heading out for a quick boat ride to the ocean just minutes away, casting a line off your dock, or winding down on the upper deck as the sun sets, this property is all about enjoying the water. The dock is built for real living, with dual 12' slips, a 15,000 lb boat lift, and a 130-foot walkway that reaches deep water even at low tide. There's water and electric already in place, plus a spiral staircase leading to an upper deck where you can take in sweeping views all the way to the beaches, the ocean, and both sunrise and sunset skies. Back at the house, you'll find a space that's been thoughtfully updated and well cared for. The modern kitchen features
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: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 1958)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,807 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.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.
Sun & Light
Southeast-facing backyard — winter sunrises, bright mornings
The listing reports the home facing northwest, which puts the backyard on the southeast side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:33 AM, sunset 6:48 PM.
- The rear takes strong morning-to-midday sun and eases off by late afternoon; in winter the sun rises almost straight into this exposure.
- A comfortable compromise lot: real sun without the western afternoon heat.
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): $11,766/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$17,600/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 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
