Description

Although it had never come close to flooding in over 60 years, this house sustained very low-level flooding on Sept. 26th from Hurricane Helene. The damage, however, was minimal and all within the realm of that which would be replaced during a remodel. Despite being described as a tri-level home, this house has four levels and only had water on the ground floor which is minimal square footage consisting of a lower living room, pool bath, foyer, garage, and a crawl space. More importantly, the home was built in the early 1960’s and that lower level is all concrete block with plaster walls and terrazzo or tile floors and no sheet rock. The other 3 floors…dining room, kitchen with attached family room, 3 bedrooms, and two bathrooms were all untouched. Consequently, the house is fully livable now and can be occupied during any remodel/repairs.

In addition, while the owners could make repairs, they are choosing to be transparent and show the house “as is” in order to allow a buyer to see what happened and what’s needed, rather than covering up with new flooring, paint, and trim. Also, Hurricane Milton was no match for this house’s solid construction and full set of hurricane shutters on every opening, and he did no damage to the house. Don’t miss your chance to transform this waterfront property into your very own slice of paradise!
