Take a look at this newly-updated open floor plan home, perched on a hill, on a sweet historic island in the Gulf of Mexico! If you're looking for a fresh, larger cottage for your new island home--look no further! This historic home has a sprawling master suite, two smaller bedrooms, and two very large open rooms, connected by a beautifully-trimmed, extra-wide opening, to allow lots of free movement. The proximity to the kitchen means entertaining here will be amazing! The fourth bedroom, with it's shiny new sliding glass doors opening to the back deck, would also make a terrific office space. New 3.5 ton A/C and ductwork, new wiring, new cabinets, completely new bathrooms and a brand new deck under the swaying palms make this home a real beauty! The property has a nice high elevation, and a layman's look at the SRWMD FEMA flood report shows the home in the X zone! Verify this with a surveyor, and you'll save lots of money, rather than paying flood insurance premiums! Call now!

Here's a nice-sized FIXER, perched on a hill, on a sweet historic island in the Gulf of Mexico! If you're looking for an affordable, larger cottage to put your heart into--this is a great opportunity! Purchased twenty years ago, the owners set out to reconfigure the home, but were not able to complete the project. With new walls in place, the home has a very large master suite, two smaller bedrooms, and two very large open rooms, connected by an open area with glass on each side, to allow lots of free movement. It has a nice high elevation, and a layman's look at the SRWMD FEMA flood report shows the home in the X zone! Verify this with a surveyor, and you'll save lots of money, rather than paying flood insurance premiums. Because the home is unfinished, it is uncertain whether it will qualify for a mortgage as is. WARNING: DO NOT GO ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT A REALTOR. DO NOT GO ON THE DECK. You may want to make this your next project, and your customized island home!
