This property is perfect for multi-generational living; or, using all or part of the home as an Air BnB with a minimum 30-nt rental term. The home is a testimony to both honoring an era, while also enjoying modern conveniences and updates! The first step into the home is itself a walk back in time via a screened-in front porch with historic Cuban tile flooring.  This is where you congregated, before air-conditioning, to enjoy a cool breeze and chat with family and neighbors passing by! Even while updating, due care and attention have been given to retaining the original charm of this quintessential 1930s beach house. And yet, due to extensive renovations, the County has designated it as having an effective age of only 22 years! That's 2001, not 1936! The heart pine floors in the main living space are stained a dark hue that contrasts against the modern kitchen with quartz countertops and shaker-style, soft-close white cabinetry, including crown moulding, marble backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. (The kitchen and the primary bath remodel were done in 2019/2020.) The original wood-burning fireplace is another original focal point that makes an immediate statement. Other newer features include double pane windows; paver driveway, (pressure-cleaned and sealed 3/23); interior and exterior paint (6/19); and new electrical wiring and panel, as well as new HVAC units (circa 2020).  Venture up to the loft area via the new folding ladder to appreciate the extra storage and the meticulously clean and insulated attic space. Cared for over the decades, the home is now ready for its next chapter. The spacious lot has an estimated value of approximately $400,000!  The virtually maintenance-free front yard, has a paver circular driveway featuring elevated landscaping beds and an additional slab driveway, as well as a vinyl privacy fence to the rear. This is parking for 6+ vehicles & golf carts! RV enthusiasts there is room for your RV too! Such generous parking is rare on the island! The lush, tropical landscaping provides multi-purpose areas.
