Major Improvements & Upgrades: The home has undergone extensive structural, safety, and energy-efficiency improvements. The entire first floor was fully re-sheetrocked (walls and ceilings) with all materials confirmed asbestos-free, and the downstairs ceiling height was increased by one foot through redesigned A/C ducting—significantly enhancing livability and spatial feel. Insulation was fully replaced in 2009, with all old attic insulation removed and new A/C ductwork installed. Hurricane shutters have been added on the water-facing side of the home. Additional updates include a newer hot water heater, electric fireplace heating, dehumidification systems in both the upstairs bath and downstairs half bath, and a custom under-stair storage build-out. Exterior improvements include fully renovated waterside balconies with resealed concrete and upgraded stainless cable railings, replacement and repainting of all exterior stairways, and complete sealing and painting of all buildings (2025). Vertical structural beams supporting the second-floor walkway were also repaired, resealed, and repainted in 2025. For a full list of improvements, see attachments.
