About this home

WELCOME HOME TO ISLAND PARK AND THIS CHARMING COASTAL COTTAGE ON A DOUBLE LOT AND 3 BLOCKS FROM THE BEACH! This 3 bedroom 2 bath home offers an inviting, rambling screened porch which is perfect for just relaxing or entertaining guests. Step out to the beautifully shaded, fenced yard with patio for summer barbecues. Gather around the fire pit with friends and your favorite drink! The living room with parquet flooring features a cozy, stone faced gas fireplace to take the chill off cold, wintry weather. The flexible 1st floor bedroom with full bath is enhanced by a new ceramic tile floor and a separate entrance which can also be used as an office, bunk room for kids/teens or for an elderly parent. This is the only room with electric heat! There is a 2nd full bathroom on the main level with wainscoting and beachy tile floor. The main level laundry room/pantry has a newer washer and dryer. 2 bedrooms with carpeting are located on the 2nd floor. The roof is only 1 year old. The low maintenance, vinyl siding shingles give this cottage a wonderful Victorian curb appeal. The expansive grounds are enhanced by the beautifully crafted wrought iron fencing behind the 4-5 car parking area. There is a new 10' x 12' hand built cedar shed for ample storage. Flood Insurance is required. Currently the seller pays $464.00 yearly. Built in 1912, this historic home has survived many hurricanes! If you have been dreaming of a coastal lifestyle, make this your year around home or weekend retreat!
