About this home
Jacksonville
All-Brick, move-in-ready, and packed with character--this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home makes smart use of its charming 1,002 sq ft where it counts. Even better, the home received a Brand-New Roof in July. Natural light fills every room, highlighting original oak hardwood floors. A stone fireplace graces the living room. A formal dining room adds dedicated space for entertaining, while the bonus flex room--with its rich wood-paneled ceiling--offers a stylish setting for a home office, creative space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The kitchen features oak cabinetry and granite countertops, while the recently renovated bathroom adds a distinctive touch with gorgeous wood ceiling paneling. Kitchen leads to a covered breezeway connecting the home to the detached one-car garage, complete with a washer and dryer. Outside, the large corner lot offers a mix of sunny and shaded spaces, plus a serene and spacious fenced backyard with plenty of room to spread out and make it your own.

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.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone E
Zone E evacuates after zones A, B, C, D in an approaching storm.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1949)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer & public water · JEA
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by JEA — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,384 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.

Ask about this homeAs of August 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields, read at the listing’s map pin or, on lots of an acre or more, across the county parcel (state cadastral). A zone shown for part of a lot may not be where the home stands. 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.

Cost to own
Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $3,935/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$4,700/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.
