It is impressive and breathtaking, yet warm, inviting and family friendly. You really must see this home to appreciate its unique charm! This home has been listed by owner on MLS for $740,000 with 3% going to a buyer’s agent. That is our asking price, but there is some flexibility built into that price- even more flexibility if a buyer is not represented by an agent. We will stay in this home if it doesn’t sell. However, we have just put a deposit on a place close to my parents who live about 40 minutes from us and would love to live closer to them, but our contract is contingent on the sale of our home. We hope that someone is looking for the perfect home and that everything will work out if it is meant to be! Contact Stacia @ 727-637-1387 for any questions or to schedule a showing!
