Local Insight
At just under $1M for a 1940s cottage on a tight 0.11-acre lot in an AE flood zone, you're paying a Gulf-proximity premium that hinges entirely on that private pool and direct beach access—make sure flood insurance costs and elevation requirements won't eat into your budget long-term. The $953/sqft price is steep for a 2-bed built 84 years ago, so structural condition during inspection is critical, especially given the age and coastal exposure. This is the kind of property where location and amenities matter far more than square footage, but you need to understand your true flood risk and insurance obligations before falling in love with it.
