What an opportunity! Grab this sweet downtown cottage in historic Cedar Key, Florida, and restore it just like YOU want it! Built in the 1930s, and having never flooded for nearly a century, sadly this wonderfully restored home recently took on hurricane waters. It has been stripped and sanitized where the saltwater intruded, and many of the fixtures and much of the custom wood trim were cleaned and marked and reserved for the restoration. You will appreciate the open, flowing layout of the home, with lots of beautiful wood. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, with nicely tiled ensuite baths for each bedroom, creating both a master suite and a junior suite. The open kitchen has an option for gas or electric range, and there was a recent electrical inspection and outlets were replaced as necessary. Sitting on three downtown lots in the coveted Historic District, you will have plenty of room if you'd like to garden or add a swimming pool. The property has a shed in back and a buried propane tank if you choose gas appliances. It even has a well for cheap and easy landscape watering. You will be impressed by the beautiful brick pavers in front and alongside, creating inviting outdoor spaces, which you can view from your lounging spot on the perfectly placed screened porch. Alongside the screened porch, there's a wrought iron fenced in area for your dog to use, protected from the street. The covered front porch only needs a few white rocking chairs and a tray of lemonade to make it complete! The home is being sold "as is" and ready for restoration, and easy lifting if you so desire. With this price, you will have a bargain after an easy restoration!
