Local Insight
At $3 per square foot, this 1946 home is priced aggressively low—you're really paying for the 1.33 acres and pool rather than the structure itself, so budget realistically for updates and potential foundation/systems work on a 78-year-old property. The location in Cocoanut Bayou without HOA restrictions gives you flexibility for improvements, but that age and price point typically signal either deferred maintenance issues or a teardown/renovation play, so get a thorough inspection before assuming you're getting a deal. The lot size is genuinely valuable in this area though, which is why serious investors are likely already circling it.
