Contingency contract based on financing & inspection. Taking back-ups. Thanks! Opportunity knocks (very loudly in this case)!!! This 1984-built waterfront home is being sold in ''as is'' condition. It's very liveable as it is, but the owners decided to let the next buyers make their own changes! The exterior has just been painted; the heavy-duty garage door was installed in 1/06; the interior has been recently painted with pleasant neutral colors; the cedar ceilings in the great room & Florida room are new; the sand filter and the chlorinator for the pool were new in '05; and the carpet in the great room, dining room, and hallway was new in 2/06. The roof dates from 1996. Attractive open floorplan with 2 living areas. First, the great room with its eye-catching stone fireplace, wet bar, vaulted cedar ceiling and 3 clerestory windows to keep it bright. Two sets of French doors lead to the Florida room overlooking the Bayou which features 2 skylites and a saltillo tile floor. Waterviews also from the dining room. The efficiently designed U-shaped kitchen has plenty of cabinet space + a pantry. The dishwasher and disposal date from 2000; the other appliances are original. Large laundry room is also plumbed for a sink (the actual sink is in the attic. Owners removed it to get a little more room.) The master opens onto the screened porch where the hot tub is located. The walk-in closet has built-in organizers, and the master bath is roomy enough for two people to use at once. Both additional bedrooms have double closets and window seats. The hall bath is compartmented so that more than one child can use it at one time. The 20' x40' inground vinyl pool has a diving board and a Polaris system. It is being professionally maintained. The dock sustained some ''lifting'' in Ivan but appears usable. Grass ''Bayou'' offers protected waterfront and is a ''no wake zone'' so you will see dolphins, mullet, and lots of waterbirds. Beautiful sunsets also from this location! If you've had your eye on waterfront property, then take a long look at this home with a price thousands less than others on the market. Please use the ''as is'' contract form. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
