About this home
East Palatka
Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Peace of Mind Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in this enchanting circa 1900 estate. Nestled on a sprawling 1.3-acre lot, this property offers the rare combination of storied ''Old Florida'' charm and the reliability of a modern home. Over the past 11 years, the residence has undergone a comprehensive mechanical evolution, including complete replumbing, rewiring, new HVAC, and updated insulation, ensuring efficiency and longevity. The Main Residence The heart of the home is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary defined by unmatched character and artisan details. The Gourmet Kitchen: A true conversation starter featuring a rare 1920s gas stove and an authentic French kitchen sink dating back to the late 1800s. A central island provides the perfect prep space for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
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.

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $312/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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
