About this home
Jacksonville
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity along the Avondale waterfront, this remarkable 1925 Florida vernacular home sits on an extraordinary double L-shaped parcel, offering a scale of land and waterfront that simply cannot be replicated in this historic neighborhood. Just under 3,000 square feet, the main residence blends the character and craftsmanship of its era with a thoughtful, extensive renovation completed in recent years. The reimagined floor plan creates a more open and connected way of living, while beautifully remodeled kitchen and baths bring a level of luxury and functionality suited to modern life. The home offers three bedrooms plus a dedicated office, two full baths and a powder room, with gracious living spaces that retain the warmth and architectural character that make historic Avondale homes so special. But it is the property itself that makes this offering truly exceptional.

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).
Cost to own
Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $8,356/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$54,800/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.

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone AE — high-risk flood zone (Special Flood Hazard Area)
Lenders require flood insurance for financed purchases here.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone A
Zone A evacuates first in a storm — typically coastal and surge-prone areas.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1925)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,545 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

Ask about this homeAs of September 2026, this 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.
