Beach, Bay or Back Nine…Live the Dream

Around town, in town, and at home on Casey Key

Around town…
The Sarasota Building Industry Association and the Home Builders Association of Manatee County have joined together to present their annual Parade of Homes for Sarasota and Manatee Counties. This year’s parade begins Saturday, Feb. 21 and proceeds through March 8. Admission is free and anyone can visit the 56 new model homes, 4 remodeled homes, and 11 new communities on the home tour. Visiting model homes is a refreshing way to see the latest design ideas, new green building practices, and creative inspiration for decorating.

In town…
Meanwhile, discussions are flying among Casey Key residents about whether this beautiful, eight-mile stretch of beach-to-bay bliss will become a city of its own. State legislators have agreed to introduce a bill that would allow Casey Key’s voters—563 of them—to hold a referendum to decide if cityhood is in its future. The pros and cons were tossed about during a recent fire station meeting held to debate the incorporation issue, with some saying they needed more control over police protection and building regulations, while others argued that the incorporation efforts were designed to discourage outsiders from coming onto this residential island. Time will tell!

At home…on Casey Key
If swimming keeps your waistline slim and trim, we’re offering a beautiful home on the north end of Casey Key—and it’s the place of your dreams. Perched on the Gulf near Blackburn Point Bridge, the home features two swimming pools.

The property also offers two other buildings for garages, artist studio, or workshop. The home is located at 13 N. Casey Key, and if you are seeking a waterfront home and an active lifestyle, this property is calling your name!

325 Casey Key Road Nokomis, Florida

The Herron Group with RE/MAX Alliance Group just re-listed 325 Casey Key Road Nokomis, Florida. This is the lowest priced Gulf Front home on Casey Key…it could very well steal your heart away. It is being offered at $1,599,000 with prices on the key going up to $18,500,000 for a Gulf to Bay property at the North end of Casey Key.

Casey Key is Sarasota’s most prestigious barrier island and home to the area’s most exclusive properties.

You can own this exceptional beachcomber’s haven and enjoy the spectacular sunsets from your glass walled family room or your very own private powdery white sandy beach. The panoramic water views are fantastic and unbelievable.

This is truly “Old Florida Charm” beach cottage built in 1947 and it still has the Pecky Cypress wood ceilings. Most of the homes that were built on Casey Key in the 30’s, 40’s and early 50’s were built with a lot of Pecky Cypress. An old neighbor of mine up at the North End of Casey Key who had an older home with Pecky Cypress told me it allowed the home to breath. Back then there wasn’t any air conditioning or central heating. You had a fireplace or two and most of the older homes were closed up over the summer months. Yet when the owners returned in the fall the homes were fine with no signs of mold or mildew.

On the humorous side I thought he was referring to the appearance of the wood which is holey and grooved as to why it helped the house breath. It probably didn’t hurt.

Just Sold By The Herron Group Bay Front Nokomis Across From Casey Key

This had been a short sale (the owner owed the bank more than the sale price a lot more). I had put an offer in on the property for my client as a back –up to the lower first offer the seller had gotten. After four months of hearing nothing from the Bank. The Bank takes the first offer with out countering it or even notifying us. The first buyer contracts with another buyer who calls us. We were able to assume this second contract and close in a week at not much more than my client’s original offer to the Bank.

I am seeing more and more short sales and foreclosures in the higher end Water Front Properties and Golf Course & Country Club communities. In my eighteen years of selling luxury real estate on Florida’s West Coast I have never experience so many distressed property sales.
This property had 250 feet of sea wall, sailboat water, and two boat docks. The windows had all been replaced with hurricane impact glass, stuccoed, and a new metal roof. It was in very good condition for a short sale property.

A lot of the Short Sale properties have really been damaged by their owners. They have taken the appliances, even the built-ins. Some have taken the sinks and the toilets. Several that I have shown have holes in drywall and doors. Swimming pools are black from being turned off for long period of time. All of these Short Sale and Foreclosure properties are being sold in AS/IS condition. So if you do decide to buy one of these properties. Make sure you get home inspections done immediately and your contract is contingent on the inspections. When buying these Short Sales it is going back to Buyer Be Ware, nothing is warranted.

You can e-mail Nick Herron if you would like more information on Short Sales and Foreclosures.
