Wet cute home. Needs nothing. Might be of interest. Flood zone complicates the decision.

This updated home features an open-concept main level with vaulted ceilings and a large island, though it lacks a dedicated dining area. Great outdoor spaces include a kitchen and two covered areas, complemented by an attached carport.
