PROPERTY: Is located in Lee County, Florida. It's zoned commercial with four parking spaces plus the entrance to the two car garage. The property fronts on Pine Island Road, and extends into Matlacha Pass, known locally as the "Bay".

THE SEAWALL The land is protected by a cantilevered, steel rod and wire mesh reinforced, concrete sea wall top (see photo) which effectively turns high water waves back into the sea, instead of over the seawall. Wave action falling over the top of seawalls can cause erosion of the seawall. The seawall was constructed in 1977, and a recent inspection revealed no cracks in the cement! Typical seawall construction does not use cantilever tops because of the added cost.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN (Photo 29) The building design is a: "modified A frame", which is said to be more wind resistant than typical straight wall construction. Exterior first floor dimensions are approximately 30' wide by 80' long. Of the eighty feet in length, 40' is on land, and the remaining 40' is secured to concrete in-the-water pilings.

The first floor road front consists two insulated steel doors separated by four sets of therma pane colonial style windows. One door serves the main office, with a connecting interior door to the conference room, which has the second door to the exterior. The main office has a bathroom with toilet and sink, plus small storage area. Formerly, the office served as a real estate office. The owner, designer, builder of the property, is a Florida licensed Real Estate Broker, and owner of: Waterfront Realty, Inc.

The first floor is serviced by a recently installed air conditioner with heat strip..

SECOND FLOOR ROAD-FRONT LAYOUT: Above the office, with a ground floor entrance left of the garage door, is the guest apartment. (Photo 0031) It consists of a large bedroom with a kitchen/dining room combination with a large screened porch offering an interesting view of the road and the the bay. The apartment has a bathroom with wash basin and bathtub with a shower head. The bedroom has a closet which utilizes the long space above the apartment entrance stairs. The apartment is about 70% completed, lacking kitchen sink, cabinets, kitchen flooring, etc. Used as an artists studio, the access was through the second floor hall of the main residence. The apartment has its own 100 amp electric circuit breaker panel. If desired, with the addition of an exterior electric meter, the apartment could provide annual or higher seasonal, rental income.

The second floor is serviced by a second, and recently installed, air conditioner (pict 0020 a repeat) with heat strip. Air conditioner number one, servicing the first floor, is located in the garage.
