What to check on this one
- Verify flood zone designation and elevation certificate for St. Johns River waterfront property.
- Confirm roof age and get 4-point inspection; home is 38 years old—insurers scrutinize this.
- Review septic system service history and pumping records for 1.22-acre lot.
- Inspect seawall/bulkhead condition and any required maintenance or county permits.
- Confirm generator maintenance records and natural gas line integrity for appliances.
- Check for polybutylene plumbing (common 1986 build); request cast-iron drain line scope.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
