SimonTheBroker's Q&A

I have also added pictures to Zillow...again, thanks for asking. If the town data were correct, the valuation would be closer to real value, but the taxes are only 4300 a year so we leave that alone.

Here is a link to a dozen pictures from my website www.SimonTheBroker.comhttp://www.simonthebroker.net/realtyeco/tho/photosViewer.cfm?ptype=H&folio=10115&imgidx=0Thanks for asking

Zoning and planning board approvals more often resemble a negotiation than a strict interpretation of the codes. When these boards insist on strategic retreat from sensitive eco-systems like the dunes and wetlands indicators, there are some things that are grandfathered. While we haven't fully explored the renovation with any specific plans, the survey has the house location with all the decking, the beach walkway, the gazebo, a full windmill, the pool, (with another gazebo or pool house). That would suggest going up on the exisiting footprint would be the path of least resistance.I would be interested in forwarding your proposal which is contingent on some measure of professional due diligence, or even full plan approvals ahead of closing....and just for information's sake, this parcel was one of six adjacent parcels owned by the same family many years ago, and they chose this one to build their house on. The dunes have remained where they are ever since.Thanks for asking the right questions...
