About this home
St. Augustine
Preferred lender offering free 1 year rate buy down! ✨ The Preserve at St. Johns Some homes check boxes. This one rewrites your next chapter. Set on a private quarter-acre preserve lot with tranquil canal views, this two-story residence offers 4,089 sq. ft., 4/5 bedrooms, and 4.5 bathrooms in a layout designed by someone who clearly understood that how a home flows is just as important as how it looks. What makes this home genuinely irreplaceable is something you feel before you can explain it, 27 windows, including eight additions found in no other Montauk II model ever built, flood every room with natural light and frame preserve views that simply cannot be replicated. This is more than an upgrade. It is a distinction. Step inside to find tray ceilings, custom millwork, and designer lighting anchoring an open-concept floor plan that moves from the formal dining room to an expansive great room

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, SilverLeaf, eTown…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill — the tax estimate above reflects county averages, so confirm this home’s exact CDD with us.
- • 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.

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 1,859 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.

Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2020)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,665 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
