Stop the scrolling, your location scouting is done. You found the PERFECT opportunity to LAUNCH YOUR YOU-TUBE CHANNEL This house offers a CRASH COURSE in everything you ever wanted to know about home maintenance, repair, replacement and perhaps even some renovation. No worries about what or where your next project will be. Episode after episode conveniently located inside and outside this BLOCK HOUSE on a nice lot in SUNNY SOUTH FLORIDA. There is plenty of welcoming space for staging as there are NO HOA’s so TRADE TRUCKS or CAMERA TRUCKS can PARK and STAY! THE ATTACHED 1 CAR GARAGE, with a HURRICANE rated garage door, DEEP SINK and washer and dryer is perfect for housing and maintaining all the tools you will be using! But save some parking space for your BIG FLOATING TOYS because this house is in a neighborhood with a PRIVATE BOAT LAUNCH to the GULF, membership renewed at just $200.00/year. No boat? No problem, the same park offers a PRIVATE FERRY to a SECLUDED BEACH ISLAND, resident membership $150.00/year. Don’t want to wait for the ferry, the KAYAK LAUNCH is $100.00 /year. Are you seeing the episodes unfold? Oh, and the “after” the “after party”, can be back at the house in the PRIVACY of your very own IN GROUND POOL. YES! Yes, the CAGED POOL is already there. Ok that’s ENOUGH FUN, there is WORK TO BE DONE! Picking out flooring and cabinets and lighting… fixtures and paints and shelving and OH MY this is FUN TOO!! And there is no place like home when it’s EXACTLY as YOU DESIGNED IT! And the DESIGN TEMPLATE for the gardens are already in place as this house once won landscaping awards and was featured in the news paper. Remnants of a SECRET GARDEN accomplished by a CANOPY of Eureka Palms leads to the SHED perfect for all the garden tools. An assortment of WALKWAYS of brick, stepping stones, pavers and edging wind through the yard. Ground covers and palms and mature plants like BougainVillea add intricate detail. The original gardener installed UNDERGROUND WATER FEEDS for each garden to meticulously nourish the individual needs of the MATURE plants. Who knows what will be resurrected with LOVE from a GARDENER. There is nothing missing to get started on this award winning dramatic transformation. The shiny STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATOR runs cold, the OVEN will heat a pizza and there is ELECTRICITY for a coffee pot. The water does run through the pipes to the fixtures and the inspector said the well is working just fine. You will be doing a lot of cleaning so the DEEP SINK in the garage next to the WASHER and DRYER will be well appreciated. Stop the shopping, FOGET THE COMPROMISES. You can have ALL your FAVORITES and have them all NEW. All located in one of Florida’s most AFFORDABLE PLAYGROUNDS. BEACHES are biking distance in either direction. SHAMROCK PARK, Senior friendship center, DOWN TOWN VENICE just down the street. LEGACY TRAIL all the way to Sarasota. NO HOA’s and room to park all those water and travel toys, once the tool trailer and camera truck have outgrown their welcome (usefulness).
