About this home

St. Johns

0.20 ACRES - nearly 70% larger than surrounding lots. DEDICATED OFFICE. SCREENED PORCH. WOODED PRIVACY. BUILT 2024. That backyard is the one you've been looking for. Fully fenced, backing to a wooded area with no rooftops in view - room for a garden or a playset, and still space left over. Privacy like this is almost impossible to find in newer construction. Inside, the office is a real room with a door, not a corner of the living space. The open-concept kitchen features a center island, pantry, and eat-in dining that flows into the main living area. The split-bedroom floor plan places the primary suite privately at the rear of the home with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Two full baths, one with a tub, one with a walk-in shower. The screened porch means Florida evenings without the mosquitoes.

Cost to own

True monthly cost

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

Principal & interest20% down · 7.28% · 30yr$2,326
Property taxesest. at asking price, St. Johns County$565
HOAbilled monthly$114
Estimated total, before insurance$3,005/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$4,726/yr · $394/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.

Hurricane evacuation zone E

Zone E evacuates after zones A, B, C, D in an approaching storm.

Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2024)

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

Solar potential: ~1,428 usable sun-hours per year

Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.

Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.

Ask about this home

As 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.

Cost to own

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $4,726/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$6,800/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 1,595 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
