What to check on this one

  • Verify flood zone designation & elevation certificate requirement for St. Johns River frontage.
  • Confirm roof age & condition; 1977 home likely needs inspection for insurer eligibility.
  • Order 4-point inspection & wind-mitigation assessment; coastal location + age = critical.
  • Get dock/bulkhead permits & maintenance history; verify boat lift operational status.
  • Inspect pool/spa systems & saltwater corrosion on outdoor kitchen equipment.
  • Confirm plumbing type (polybutylene/cast-iron risk); original 1977 mechanicals need review.

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
