The Neighborhood
The property is located in a very nice upscale neighborhood with friendly neighbors and homes that are not all jammed up together like many in the Shores. The front yard is 232 feet wide measured side to side.
The huge front yard goes from here at the corner of the black fence...
To here...
It's a big yard, but for a small fee our neighbor, Corey, who lives across the street, will take professional care of it for only $60.00 per cut and he does a fine job.
The neighbors from across the street have plenty of space between their houses and they are all very friendly.

The patio and back yard
Plenty of Privacy!
While most outdoor roofing projects are supported by 4x4 posts, this roof uses pressure-treated 6x6 supports encased
in 36 inches of high strength concrete
making it ultra strong.
The white 6-foot high fence is perfect for a jacuzzi. With it, you'll have 360 degrees of 100% privacy.
The new fence as of January 2024
The pressure-treated 6 foot fence, including that
of the neighbor's, wraps all around our property.
With the 6-foot tall pressure treated fence that we had
professionally installed, you'll have the most privacy
and security. And it's great for little kids that like to explore, and dogs that like to snoop around. And, we had our fence installed an inch above the ground so it will add years of dependable and dry service.
The fence shown below runs the entire width of the property and belongs to the neighbor behind us. Also shown in this photo is the convenient place behind the shed where we store the ladders and the hurricane panels
for fast and easy access.
The Goodman 3.5 Ton Air Conditioner
The Goodman Air Conditioner is about nine years
old and it has always been dependable. We have it inspected and given maintenance periodically to ensure its good operation. The following photos
were taken during the last home inspection and routine maintenance 4/4/2024 and we have agreed
to a thorough air quality improvement procedure costing $2,850 as detailed below in the following photos. As of October 2024, we have three further paid-in-full procedures to claim as needed so the buyer of this home can feel assured that their entire family including very young children and
any older adults will breath purified clean air.
The FDA Approved Whole Home Ultravation System
On April 5th, 2024 Catalyst Air Conditioning sent technicians to install their FDA Approved Whole Home Ultravation System. These techs spent over three hours cleaning and sanitizing all the A/C components in this home at a big cost of $2,850.00. Four techs working together is an amazing maintenance tune up. "Cudos" for Catalyst A/C Company for all their hard professional work.

More Interior House Photos
From the outside, and any big wind, the door opens
"out" instead of the usual "in" and its held tight against the door frame so you don't have to worry about it getting blown inside the house and making
a big mess. This type of door hanging is called a "Hurricane Hang" and it's the way doors are hung
in the best Florida houses.
Bedroom # Two - The Office
We use this bedroom as our office, as you will see in the photos below.
Bedroom # Three - The Spare Bedroom
The Special Features
The Two New Toilets
We don't think it's appropriate to sell our house with the old toilets left inside. So, we have two of the new "Best Seller" toilets shown below saved for the buyer of this home. They are still in their original shipping boxes shown below and located in the family room.
Here is the Home Depot Description
Secondary Electricity Supply
You'll have plenty of power when you need it
This house has the portable generator shown below for times when the electrical system is down, usually because of a repair being made or a big rain storm. It has been used for only three hours since we bought it. We keep it in the shed with the power cord for convenience.
Below are the locations of the two exterior generator outlets and their associated inside wall outlets. With these two devices, you'll never have any extension cords covering your inside floors to trip on.

The back door area same setup

Emergency Hurricane Shutters
Don't buy a house without solid hurricane protection. This house has hurricane shutters
for every door and window. Most are steel but
we have used the clear polycarbonate hurricane shutters for one window on each side of the house so you can see everything that goes on outside all around the house during a rain
storm or, hopefully not a hurricane.
Luckily, in the many years that we have lived here, we have never taken a direct hit by any hurricane, but we believe in being prepared -- and this home is well prepared!

The Multi-Purpose Custom Shed
The shed is 24 feet long by 11 feet wide and it is 264 square feet. We bought the basic shed shell and went to work turning it into what you'll see below. It's insulated on every wall and ceiling and has an air conditioner that we bought in 2023.
The shed floor frame, which is the same type as the one shown below, has the structural supports that are spaced 7.5 inches apart and not the standard shed 12 inches which greatly increases its load bearing strength. You could park a sports car or a couple of big Harleys inside with no trouble at all.
The Interior Custom Shed Photos
See the newest photos further down past the first seven that have changed because we have been selling many of the things too large to ship.
Below are the updated shed photos that were taken after all
of the brown shipping boxes were moved into the garage in order to have easier access for our planned move.
The shed has double doors on one end and a ramp for accessing lawn care equipment or a couple of Harleys. This photo below shows our jumbo wood hurricane shutters for the shed.
The New Family Room
The photos below show the remodeled garage which was converted into a livable space about ten years ago and is no longer used as a garage. This addition is the reason we added the carport.
The two custom built pantries will give you ample space to store all you food items, canned goods, boxed items, medical supplies, and everything else that would usually take up the needed space in your kitchen. It was all custom built and even after all these years we have never seen a bug anywhere in this converted garage space unless we left the back door open. We are bug free!
With the ceiling vent heat and air conditioning, the ceiling lights and fan, the professionally installed carpet, the tightly secured garage door, the window shades and curtains, this room is a 100% livable space and any good appraisal should state it as such. We have left the garage door tracks in place just in case a buyer might like to have a functioning garage door for some reason.
The Health Rider Soft Track Treadmill can stay at no additional cost because it is a high quality treadmill and as such it is very heavy and would require two very strong men to move. But, it will be your choice, you can keep it or we will have it moved out.
You Can Buy A Fun And Useful Garage Door Screen
The following photo shows a combo rigid and screen garage door. This is why we left the garage door in place because many Floridians enjoy pulling the screen door down on nice days creating a very large indoor/outdoor screen room for family get togethers and also keeping the bugs out. A garage door screen is an excellent addition to our nicely remodeled garage. Below you can see the rigid garage
door rolled up on the tracks. There are many sizes and styles that can be purchased at
either the Home Depot or Lowes.
The refrigerator can be easily moved out to the shed making this converted garage into a nicely heated, air conditioned, carpeted, concrete walls for sound proofing and creating a great fourth bedroom for a multi-purpose family room.
The top-quality washer and dryer combo and sink
The insulation used to cover the garage door: We secured the door tight so even in a high wind it won't rattle so this room can be used as a fourth bedroom.
The exterior garage door is shown below with the steel hurricane panels in place. They have been painted with the same color paint we used on the house. The four windows also have steel hurricane covers but we have left them off so we can see the outside while we are exercising on the tread mill.
The 16' x 29' 464 Square Feet Carport
The survey, the building permit, the 36-inch thick concrete sides, all the steel, the side high powered light with an inside the house switch, and the labor cost was about $8,000. When Hurricane Ian blasted through this area, the carport withstood it perfectly.
The 16' x 29' 464 Square Feet Carport is made of high strength tubular steel set in 3,500 psi 36" deep concrete and it is very strong and wind resistant.
Super Bright Carport Flood Light
This extremely bright carport flood light turns on in the bedroom near the guest bathroom and lights up the entire area inside and all around the carport. The little box on the wall under the window has two convenient electric outlets for your favorite extension cords.
That's about it folks! We hope this website got you interested in our property. We have spent most of our retirement working to make this house a home to be happy and proud of and I'm sure that you'll feel the same way as the new homeowner.
Sincerely,
Terry and Agustin Donovan
