About this home
Jacksonville
Nestled in a charming, and small gated community, this stunning 5-bedroom, 4-bath POOL home sits on a full acre with a peaceful pond view. As you enter, you'll immediately notice the open floor plan, high ceilings, lots of windows, and abundance of natural light. The spacious living room features recessed lighting and built-in surround-sound speakers, making it a comfortable place to relax or entertain. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with granite countertops, a large center island, beautiful backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, a convenient butler's pantry, and a huge walk-in pantry. The formal dining room is conveniently located just off the kitchen. The first floor also offers a spacious guest bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom, along with a large laundry room with plenty of cabinetry. Tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the downstairs add both style and practicality.
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 D
Zone D evacuates after zones A, B, C in an approaching storm.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2012)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Septic system (public record) · Public water (record)
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: ~1,723 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 homeAs of October 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.

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $6,130/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$13,400/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.
