165 markham drive

Take a LOOK at this one! Definitely a UNIQUE PROPERTY and PERFECT for anyone who wants to be NEAR the Beach, outside the flood area, with a POOL, on over half an ACRE, with BOAT and RV Storage! Who would not love all of this property and room for all your toys! Immaculate and updated ranch home, with all interior fresh paint for a fun, coastal feeling. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, with plenty of closets and newer HVAC system, hot water heater and roof. Updated kitchen, granite counters, solid engineered wood flooring throughout. Flood insurance is not required but is $688 a year, so who would not want to have it? This home has no water in Katrina and is in X flood zone. However Markham Drive has had a resurgence since Katrina with new upscale cottages all around and a wonderful sense of neighborhood with easy access to sandy beaches, yet enjoy the dead end street so no through traffic. This home is its own fabulous RETREAT! with screened rear porch, a stunning above ground 28 gallon pool that is surrounded by beautiful patio and decking.A separate boat storage area is included, but the real SHOWSTOPPER is a Valor Steel 25 by 30 building in concrete that can withstand up to 180 mph winds. Located at the end of the dead end street , near the railroad, so there is privacy all around. This is currently a primary private home, but it would be a fabulous short term rental with all of the land and storage areas for Crusin the Coast or families with RV/Boats. Appointment only, but easy to show. Share with anyone looking to make Long Beach their new city of choice with award winning schools and named one of the best cities to retire in.
