4224 SE 19th Avenue, Apt 1B $265,000

Motivated Seller! Pet Friendly and NOT a 55+ community. This waterfront condo in the Beach Parkway neighborhood is a small, friendly complex, has a Heated Community Pool, and is a hop-skip to open water and the Gulf of America. It's a dazzling 2 bedroom, 2 bath, condo with PRIVATE GARAGE and is so impressively updated, it will take your breath away. Add the shimmering basin water views and sunsets and you have the perfect getaway or retirement home. Unit #1B is a one-owner condo: it has been in the family since it was built in 1978, so you know it has been lovingly lived in and cared for. It has never been rented (just family and guests), as there are no rentals allowed in The Diplomat (one more aspect of peace of mind knowing there will not be noisy or inconsiderate tenants next door). Further, the HOA has secured Flood and Hazard insurance in an area that has seen challenges in binding policies; the cost of this coverage is built into the HOA fees for all unit owners. The sellers note that the HOA ‘s flood policy covers interior items susceptible to intrusion (flooring, lower cabinets, drywall) if a severe storm passed through SWFL. To learn more, view the attached financials showing healthy reserves and life expectancy, e.g. the roof has a 48 year life expectancy and the dock/seawall 13 years. This pet-friendly unit is on the first floor with a walkout lanai just steps from the heated pool and dock. Interior rehab includes floor-to-ceiling updates: cabinets and counter tops, flooring, impact glass, Kevlar storm shutters, AC, water heater... there literally is nothing to do but move in and enjoy. Enjoy downtown Cape shopping, restaurants and grills and events such as the Art and Music Fest, New Year's Eve Fireworks, Farmer's Markets, and Red, White, and BOOM on the 4th of July. This is a rare and special opportunity to own a Sparkling Waterfront condo in the much sought-after Beach Parkway neighborhood.
