This Florida City home is wonderfully situated just a few blocks west of U.S. 1 and just north of Palm Drive located south of Homestead at the end of the Florida Turnpike. Florida City is known as the Gateway to the Keys for it is only twenty minutes north of Key Largo and the rest of the Keys where you have tons of tourist type of activities, both in and out of the water, as well as some of the best fishing, boating and, of course, scuba diving in the world. If you want to stay closer to home, the Bayside beach and marina is just ten minutes from you, or perhaps if you love racing, there is the Homestead Speedway less than ten minutes away. You are also within minutes of the new Homestead Hospital, the new Flagship Cinema, Wal-Mart Superstore, B.J. Wholesale club, Home Depot, Office Depot, a huge outlet mall and tons of restaurants such as the new Cracker Barrel is just down the street.This home would be great for expansion, but even better if used for investment because it includes 19,500 square feet of land! That is three lots in one! Three duplexs could be put on this property with room to spare. Or, move into the home and build two duplexs or homes on the rest of the land. There are new town homes being built just down the street and you are right next to a school. Across the street from you is a large playground for your children and you are just minutes east of the Everglades National Park. There are lots of exotic and ornamental trees in the yard as well as hedges. There are also three out buildings that the current owner will be taking down and one that was used as a studio apartment that will stay but needs some minor work. The home is situated on a corner of two streets so there is access from both making it easy to get in and out of the property.This wonderful historic house may be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, home in Florida City. It was originally constructed in 1930, then later remodeled in the early 1970s and most recently renovated again in 1997. The latter renovation cost over $40,000. 00 and included things such as plumbing, electrical work, interior doors and trim, cabinets, interior and exterior painting, insulation and dry wall. It contains almost 1500 square feet of living space with three large bedrooms, one bathroom, a huge living room, dining room and nice sized kitchen. The original home was only a two bedroom and one bathroom and made completely of Dade County Pine, the strongest wood available. The kitchen and bathroom is tiled while the rest of the home is carpeted and there are decorative ceiling fans located throughout including the kitchen. The living room is very large and nicely carpeted.The kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, nice Formica countertops, includes a Maytag stove and a 22 cubic foot refrigerator. There is a door that leads from the kitchen to the yard. All three bedrooms are very well sized, but one is considerably larger. All bedrooms have a nice sized closet with storage areas above each. There is a pantry in the hall that also has a storage area above it. The central air conditioning system is in excellent shape as is the roof of the home. The house also comes with hurricane shutters to cover all the windows of the home. The house is surrounded by large beautiful hedges that conceal most of the property on both sides from both streets and you are only minutes from historic downtown Homestead. So, whether you want to live in the home or whether you want to invest and separate the property into lots, this home with all its property is truly a win-win! View Virtual Tour ID 68810.
