Great home for first time home buyers or buyers who want to keep costs down while enjoying life in the Keys! A short walk from the Blue Hole in the National Key Deer Refuge, this 3-bedroom home is bordered on the north and east sides by protected US Fish and Wildlife lands. Recent updates include new Mitsubishi mini splits that efficiently cool and heat the 1,055 sq. ft. living area; new tile floors in the kitchen, entry and bathroom; new engineered Cali bamboo flooring throughout the rest of the house except for a solid Cali bamboo floor in the 2nd bedroom. Other updates are the welcoming new entry door, new bathtub, new shower tile, new LED lighting except in the entry, and the new, energy-efficient GE Profile washer/dryer combo that is a space-saver, too! The metal roof was replaced in 2006; the shingle roof/wall was replaced in 2021. The windows are doubly-protected with both Bahama shutters and panel shutters; there are panel shutters for all the doors. The home is connected to FKAA water and sewer; the owner carries wind, flood and homeowner's insurances. The east-facing back deck is the top of a big, concrete cistern for catching rainwater; while not currently hooked up and in use, the cistern offers the potential to be a generous source of supplemental water for plants, washing cars, your boat, etc. A neighborhood boat ramp is nearby in Eden Pines Colony. Nature abounds in this Pine Heights/Pine Ridge neighborhood where Key Deer and peacocks roam. The property sits at the north end of Pensacola Road, one of the highest elevations on Big Pine Key. The elevation certificate denotes the house floor at over 15 feet above sea level, see documents tab.
