Enjoy a quiet tree lined street with county right-of-way to river! This is a vintage home located a block west of the St. Lucie River that will please a project oriented buyer who is not adverse to a challenging renovation, and who is seeking a tranquil, very private, place to call home. In addition to a large open kitchen the house features a huge, multi-level covered deck with Tiki bar and provision for deck-level above ground pool. There are no deed restrictions in this tiny community so parking of a large RV or motor home would not be a problem. The house is a straight shot to the Atlantic Ocean beaches -- just 2.5 miles and 3 traffic lights away -- a superb and joyful walk. Also within a mile are all the amenities of the City of Stuart.
