Comfy! Is this available for vacation rental or this a full time residence?

It is currently our full time residence.  A new addition to the family has caused it to become a wee bit small for us.

Curious ravinhuxley, what year was this built? The interior looks oldish country style (in a very good way!).

We were told it was built in the late 20's.

I must learn to pay better attention. :roll: I'm just so used to seeing property built in the last five years made to look older that I guess I just assumed it was "fake" old. It's a beautiful place. I love older homes like that.

we have been hounding the county about it.  we got them to put oyster shell on our drive--looks better.  i'm sure they will pave but only they can say when.

no, it is really old.  it has original windows.  All of the walls are tongue and groove heart pine.  we have painted all of the rooms and put in beautiful rosewood floors throughout. A lot of love has gone into this house.  we have lived here 7 years.  We just adopted a baby, so now we have 2 children.   It was perfect for the 3 of us- but now we are outgrowing it.

We have been eye'n this home for quite some time. Finally some pics of the inside! We question the size of the home,although right now it's just the 3 of us. Cute home though located at the end of a quite street, so close to the bike trail and public beach access. Roads newly paved now,a plus! Love this house:wub:

Gotta agree with you Bobby. It really is a sweet little home ... clearly loved ... and in our opinion, in a great little hidden secret beach neighborhood .... we've been intrigued with it for quite some time now ... price is nice too ....

thanks for the kind words Bobby.  We have had a lot of interest in it, but that's about it.  It seems no one wants to buy in this market.  We are thinking we are gonna have to wait until the market picks up.  Hope it doesn't take more than a year or so.  With 2 growing kids-not to mention their toys--we are a bit crowded.  We are keeping it listed though--never know.

Looks like some life is coming back to the real estate market.  Lots of interest in the last week. :)
