NEW AC AND FLAT ROOF TO BE INSTALLED BEFORE CLOSING. The Home was owned and occupied, and well maintained exclusively by one family; never any tenants. The roof was replaced about three years ago. Living, dining, and kitchen have terrazzo flooring; bedrooms and baths are carpeted over terrazzo. All walls and ceilings are plastered white. All plumbing is in good condition and has been repaired or replaced as necessary. All existing blinds and curtains are included with sale. The cozy Florida Room at the rear of the house has a private exit door to the rear patio. This room could be converted to a bedroom if a partition & door were installed.     The Front Yard is covered with white shells in some areas, and brown pine bark in other areas. There is no grass to mow. The yard has an elevated central mound surrounded by paving wedges and containing a gardenia plant, a holly tree, and an 80 ft tall Norfolk Island Pine. Two palms grow next to the road. A stone-covered area next to the driveway is available for supplemental parking, as no parking is allowed on the street.   The Back Yard is enclosed by neighbors’ fencing.  Pine bark covers the yard, so there is no grass to mow here as well. It contains a large cedar tree plus a couple of blueberry plants and some aloe plants.  Plenty of room for planting a garden, trees, and other plants.   The Garage contains four shelving units and a workbench with vice. Up front is an 80 gallon electric hot water tank, washer, utility sink, and dryer. The hot water tank was connected to a roof-top solar collector (was damaged and removed during re-roofing),  but a collector could be reinstalled if desired, as the necessary connections are still there. Plywood sheets to cover windows during hurricane season are stored overhead. An irrigation pump is located next to the north wall, is not used because well went dry.   Electrical Panel has been fully updated to comply with all current Pasco County zoning requirements.   Heating and Cooling is provided by a central HVAC unit located in the attic above the garage. Additional Heating could be supplied by electric baseboard units in most rooms.
