About this home
Ortega Forest
Set on a rare 0.62-acre corner lot beneath mature oaks in sought-after Ortega Forest, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath pool home offers 4,308 square feet of timeless character, architectural charm, and modern functionality. Originally built in 1954, the home has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving the warmth and details that make this neighborhood so desirable. The heart of the home is the renovated designer kitchen, featuring dramatic marble countertops, custom cabinetry, statement lighting, paneled appliances, a professional-style gas range, custom vent hood, oversized eat-in island, under-cabinet lighting, and extensive storage. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen opens beautifully to multiple dining and living spaces throughout the home. The expansive Primary Suite feels like a true private retreat with hardwood floors, custom wall molding, fireplace, sitting areas, with well appointed designer bath and custom closet. Must See!

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 1954)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,632 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 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
