What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and get 4-point inspection; home is 48 years old, insurer may require mitigation.
  • Confirm flood zone designation with FEMA map; St. Johns County high-risk areas need elevation certificate.
  • Order plumbing inspection; pre-1995 polybutylene or cast-iron lines common in 1976 builds.
  • Request comprehensive home inspection focusing on HVAC age, electrical panel condition, foundation.
  • Verify septic system operational status and last pump/service date if applicable.
  • Confirm property survey accuracy and fencing encroachment; old lots often have boundary issues.

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