Great Deal on Holmes Beach Duplex

I decided that a listing we have had needs a little more visibility  because potential investors are not aware of the potential. I had the good fortune of showing this property to a potential buyer and upon the showing he asked…”How long has this been on the market? Am I missing something? “There is no question that the curb appeal could be much better. It is a duplex ONE HOME to the beach with a GULF VIEW that should never be lost. Sure the Gulf Front home in front of this property could raise the roof to a second floor and 1/3 of the Gulf view would be lost but 2/3 of the view down 34th will remain! The duplex is a two bedroom one bath on each side and with some interior work, tropical landscaping, roof top terrace and a pool, this duplex would generate some serious income. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I have attached a picture below that shows the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. The value in this duplex is the proximity to the beach AND two units in the building.  The property is a SHORT sale and currently listed at $679,000. Please call me for more details and I would love the opportunity to help. The property is listed with Alan Galletto at Island Real Estate of Anna Maria Island, Inc. 6101 Marina Drive, Holmes Beach, FL. Email me for additional information.

Sorry – Currently this duplex is PENDING.  Email or call for more information.  (941) 345-1288
