Property Description
This home wasn't built in the 80's, but it absolutely has that timeless 80's feel that so many people love - solid construction, real character, and spaces that actually make sense. With over 2,900 square feet of living space, this multi-level home offers room to spread out and live comfortably. The large family room features a brick, wood-burning fireplace and feels like the heart of the home. There's also bonus office space, a formal dining room for gatherings, a kitchen nook for everyday meals, and an entryway that makes a great first impression the moment you walk through the front door. And yes; there's a basement. In Florida. Which is incredibly rare. It's spacious, includes built-in shelving, and offers endless flexibility for storage, hobbies, or extra living space. Outside, the property sits on over half an acre, giving you privacy and room to enjoy the outdoors. A detached workshop/garage adds even more functionality for projects, storage, or equipment. The home also has solar panels, and the seller will have them paid off at closing, so you get the benefit without the long-term cost. This home does need some updating to bring it back to its full potential, and the seller has priced it accordingly. If you're looking for a solid home with character, space, and the opportunity to make it your own, this one is worth a look.
