Schedule your showing today and live the waterfront lifestyle! Measurements and dimensions are estimates. Buyer to verify all measurements. The house had no more than 3 to 6 inches of water intrusion after Hurricanes Helene/Milton. Drywall was removed up to 12", replaced all drywall, insulation, baseboards, all flooring, all cabinets. Post-renovation moisture readings and air quality testing in April 2025 shows no mold elevation and no moisture in drywall, walls and tile. Inspection report results show good remediation protocols were followed.
