About this home

Green Cove Springs

Renovated waterfront living on an expansive .6-acre cul-de-sac lot! This beautifully updated home offers the rare combination of space, water views, privacy, and extensive recent improvements, creating a truly move-in-ready property where so much of the work has already been done. From the moment you arrive, the freshly painted exterior details, updated landscaping and new exterior lighting set the tone for a home that has been thoughtfully refreshed both inside and out. Step inside to a bright, welcoming interior where nearly every room has been touched. New LVP flooring flows throughout the home with no carpet, complemented by fresh paint on the ceilings, walls, doors and trim, new door hardware, new closet doors, professionally installed lighting throughout, and custom built-in systems in every closet. The result feels fresh and polished while still maintaining the warmth that makes a house feel like home. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is ready for everything from

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.24% · 30yr$3,544
Property taxesest. at asking price, Clay County$996
Estimated total, before insurance$4,540/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$5,606/yr · $467/mo
  • • 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.

Outside all hurricane evacuation zones

This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.

Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1976)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Septic system (public record) · Public water · Clay County Utilities

County records indicate an onsite septic system — budget a septic inspection before closing (typically $300–$500) and expect pump-outs every 3–5 years.

Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).

Solar potential: ~1,714 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.

As 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, 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.

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$12,000/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 792 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
