About this home
Kensington Gardens
This beautifully renovated home sits on a 0.22-acre lot at the end of a private cul-de-sac with direct pond views from the backyard. Inside, the open-concept layout feels expansive from the moment you walk in, with wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and a warm wood slat accent wall at the entry. The living room features a vaulted ceiling, a modern electric fireplace set into a custom slate-blue slat wall with floating wood shelves, and sliding glass doors that open directly to the sunroom and backyard beyond. The kitchen is built around a large center island with sage-green wainscoting and white quartz countertops, spiral LED pendant lights, a stainless steel range hood, stainless steel appliances, a built-in wine rack, and white shaker cabinets throughout with plenty of counter and storage space for any lifestyle. The sunroom is a true showpiece with a massive cathedral glass structure with vaulted beam ceilings and unobstructed panoramic views of the peaceful backyard pond.

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 1989)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,618 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.
