Price reduced! Situated on a huge waterfront lot at the edge of a bird sanctuary, this is your perfect Florida Gulf front home, winter getaway, or bird watching haven. Enjoy fish, blue crabs, clams and oysters right at your doorstep and watch spectacular sunsets from the West facing orientation. This two unit, which can be used as a single family home, sits on a one acre waterfront lot, with water on two sides, providing the utmost in privacy and easy boat access. Unlike most of the small lots on the island of Cedar Key you have plenty of land for RV parking and hookup, boat storage and potential additional structures. Just off a recent ground up renovation, this home is better than new and more comparable to new construction. You will enjoy minimum ownership cost and protection from expensive deferred repairs going forward. All building materials were selected for durability and minimum long term maintenance cost and their ability to withstand the harsh Florida coastal environment. Recent renovations include: New heavy gauge galvalume metal roof installed to hurricane standards (2014, 50+ year life), new hardiplank concrete composite siding (2015, 50+ year life), new harsh-environment rated, high efficiency Daikin ductless heat pumps imported from Japan (2016, 20+ year life), new thermal insulated windows (2015), new 11 year exterior paint (2016), all new 12 gauge electric wiring, switches and outlets, new electric meter, all new water and sewer lines, all appliances recently replaced, all drywall and insulation replaced. LED lighting throughout, 275 feet of reinforced seawall installed (2018), new boat dock with roof, electric lift (6,000 lbs), power, water and fish cleaning sink (2018), over 200' of new privacy fencing designed and installed to withstand high wind velocities (2018), zombie-proof, (almost) quick install aluminum storm shutters. Storage shed and golf cart port are renovated and contain a small work shop with many included tool items such as scaffolding that was used during the renovation. Avoid years of money draining repairs and receive income instead. This property offers you attractive possession options: Receive the property vacant for your complete use or use one unit for your exclusive use and use the other for long-term or vacation rental income. Total ownership cost could not be lower especially when compared to other forms of property ownership. Enjoy listening to others complain about high HOA fees, association fees, special maintenance assessments, management fees and restrictions on owner use that typically come with condo ownership. You have none of that! This house is entirely electric and has averaged just $84/month for both units combined over the past 6 months (that's heat, AC, lights and hot water)! Water and sewer have been running around $61/ month total and trash collection is $27/ month. 2019 real estate taxes around $4,200 a year. Real estate taxes are low because the house is just outside the city limits and not subject to the additional City of Cedar Key real estate tax! Taxes are even lower for full time residents with Homestead exemption. RV'ers can easily add a sewer and electric hookup to the remote water line already installed (5 exterior water connections) and leave both house units rented while enjoying a rent free RV pad for the winter or full time living. A nice area has been thoughtfully fenced in for a dog to enjoy as well. The icing on the cake: A huge list of extra personal property stays with the home including virtually everything seen in the photos: all furniture in both units, golf cart, all large and small appliances (each unit is fully equipped), three kayaks and related accessories and much more. This is truly turn key. Just bring your clothes and groceries and you are home. Call Jack 803-270-1010 or Janet 803-502-3636 if you have questions.
