The creation of Bayside Estates dates back to 1968 which means the canals were dug and seawalls poured over 50 years ago. Many of those seawalls have failed or are showing serious signs of wear and tear. To replace a seawall today cost lots and lots of money. That is money which may never be reclaimed later. Much like putting in a swimming pool does not equate to a dollar for dollar increase in value, so it is with seawalls. Therefore, the prudent buyer would be wise to seek out those properties where the former owner has already paid for a new seawall and due to circumstances is willing to take the financial hit on your behalf. Their loss is your gain. This Bayside Estates is one such lot. A new seawall is in, the lot has been cleared and leveled, and is ready for a new home to be brought in. Beyond being a good buy, this lot is simply gorgeous. There are six lovely palm trees lining the perimeter of the lot giving you that tropical vibe we all desire. Another valuable point is many vacant lots that were previously available for purchase in Bayside Estates have already been purchased and will most likely be built upon in the coming months. The inventory of vacant lots is running lower and lower as each lot transitions from available to sold. Therefore, if you’re looking to acquire a desirable and valuable Bayside lot, look no further.
