This unique six-bed, five-bath beach house is the perfect investment as it can be rented as one large vacation home or used as two separate units. The second-floor unit has been completely renovated and has four beds, two baths, an open living room and a new kitchen. The first floor is brand new and offers two beds plus a bunk room, three stylish bathrooms and a spacious living/dining/kitchen space. Perhaps keep one unit as a second home and rent the other for passive income. The timber-clad home has a paved driveway for parking and lawned yards in the front and rear. Both units have private outdoor space for relaxing and dining. A fenced rear yard has a large covered deck and a private pool for cooling off. Gulfview Heights beach access is a three-minute stroll from the door. The newly completed first-floor property has a wide, well-lit entrance hall with durable vinyl wood plank flooring. The white kitchen is fully equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a double-door refrigerator and freezer. The dining area is perfect for serving breakfast and family meals at the start and end of each day. Shiplap graces the comfortably furnished sitting area for watching TV. The generous master bedroom has a luxury ensuite with walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms include a bunk room to sleep four excited youngsters. Outdoor stairs lead up to the second-floor unit, which is similarly spacious with vinyl wood plank flooring and white decor. A wood dining table and chairs are complemented by cushioned stool seating lined up at the island bar. Beneath the airy vaulted ceiling, there's a fully equipped kitchen with new stainless appliances and a cozy sitting area for watching TV. Four large bedrooms make this the perfect vacation home for families to spread out and enjoy their own private space. The large covered balcony offers a shady space for relaxing on the swing seat while checking your messages. Ideally located south of 30A, this property is close to everything. After a day of golf, shopping and swimming, dine at one of the local restaurants just a short golf cart ride away.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
