Description

$239,000 listed on the MLS - Come and view a very special 1,290 SF vintage 2 BR / 1 BA concrete block home on a .31 acre waterfront lot; built like a tank, you can live comfortably in your own bunker during FL storms. It is a perfect haven for a retired couple, people working from home or looking for a reasonable commute to jobs on the coast. The current owners have made practical improvements to this home, making it very cozy and efficient. The bright & open kitchen features ample original solid wood cabinets, Mexican tile floors, newer appliances and is complimented by the addition of a large storage pantry and a 3 X 5-foot John Boos stainless top prep table. The original carport was transformed into a 220 SF air-conditioned oversized 1-car garage with electric opener. It is lined with industrial grade shelving for all of the climate controlled indoor storage you will need yet roomy enough for a freezer, exercise area and even room for parking a small car. Oversized driveway with parking for four cars.
The spacious living/dining room has Mexican tile floors. Two large bedrooms - the primary bedroom is 14 X 13 and will fit a 6-piece king bedroom suite; each bedroom has wall-length closets with double sliding doors. Utility room has a newer washer & dryer, utility sink and a tankless on-demand water heater. 2-year-old AC unit and newer ceiling fans throughout the home including the screened patio. Metal roof (2005). Exterior 30 AMP RV outlet and 50 AMP generator outlet with transfer switch for running a large generator after a power outage.
Hidden from view on the street is backyard oasis with a newly re-screened patio, beautiful & lush landscaping and a huge outdoor shed for storing bikes and garden equipment and supplies. The waterfront lot has tranquil views and mature shade trees offering protection from the Florida sun, an avocado tree close to producing fruit and a dock where you can fish for bass or access Lake Okeechobee in a small boat or kayak. Nature and wildlife abound – you can see dozens of different wildlife species from your own back yard. For those with a green thumb, three large Vegepod raised bed gardens provide an easy, critter-free setup for growing your own organic vegetables year-round.
This is a one-of-a-kind yet very affordable Okeechobee home with many unique features and lives much larger than it looks. It is conveniently located within walking distance or a short drive to stores and restaurants. Do not wait too long to see this one!!!

    "The county has quite a few events in the five parks through thr Maine streets in town;art festivals, cookoffs. Food truck events, parades. The Agri-Civic Center hosts not only rodeos, but also the County Fair, a Halloween Festival to minimize house to house trick or treating, and anyone can sponsor a booth, with carnival type games, mini dog races. There is also a Community Health Fair each year in January, with local hospital, clinics and emergency services being involved. The Tri County Food Bank also does a distribution about three times a year. "

    "After 20 years, I still love my neighborhood and our small town. Quiet, friendly. The only downside is when the snowbirds invade us from September to around April. Then our population goes from around 25,000 to over 40,000. Traffic. Ugh. But a small price to pay for the rest of the year. "
