About this home

Julington Creek

Ideally situated on a spacious corner lot between two cul-de-sacs, this home is truly impressive. Its architectural grandeur shines with soaring ceilings, dramatic walls of windows, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and an expansive, open-concept design that feels remarkably spacious. The beautifully remodeled kitchen with cabinets galore and sweeping L-shaped island is an entertainer's dream and is complemented by fully renovated bathrooms, plantation shutters, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Three bedrooms are conveniently located downstairs, while an upstairs theater room with full bath offers flexibility, serving previously as a non-conforming fourth bedroom. Outside, discover your own private resort featuring a sparkling pool, spa with covered pavilion, dining and lounging areas, and a covered patio. Preserve views, vinyl fencing, and a bubbling fountain offer privacy and complete this incredible retreat. This is truly an extraordinary place to call home.

Cost to own

True monthly cost

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

Principal & interest20% down · 7.18% · 30yr$3,658
Property taxesest. at asking price, St. Johns County$884
HOAbilled annually$48
Estimated total, before insurance$4,590/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$7,876/yr · $656/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 1999)

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

Solar potential: ~1,628 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 November 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.

The closest public beach, park, water access, league fields and grocery store from this home's location.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.

Cost to own

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $7,876/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$10,600/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 1,526 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
