It is not some developers idea of a Florida small town. It is a tight-knit community with a rich history and unmatched quality of life.<br /> <br /> When I drive across the canal bridge into town, I always feel as if I am leaving all of my cares behind. I imagine that I am entering into my own Norman Rockwell version of the quintessential American Small Town.<br /> <br /> #2 First Court sits atop high ground on a corner lot at the intersection of 1st Av. and 1st Ct.<br /> <br /> We purchased the home in 1987. At the time, it was a 2,000 sq.ft., 3 bedrooms and 2 bath blockhouse on a slab. To say the least, it was cosmetically challenged. However, after a thorough inspection, she was deemed to have good bones. My wife was not so sure. I asked her to look past what the house is to what it could become. <br /> <br /> For the next 33 years, Barb and I poured our sweat, tears, vision, and money into creating a home for our family.<br /> <br /> Everything we have done to our home has been permitted. We have insisted on quality materials and the best craftsmanship. There have been three major additions to the home. A separate document in this listing details everything that has been done to the house.<br /> <br /> In 2017, we began a total remodel of the interior of the house. We said good-bye to the 1990s and brought in the 21st century. <br /> <br /> In early 2020, we gave the exterior a facelift with new shutters and trim.<br /> If you decide to make #2 First Court your new home, you will not only be purchasing a move-in ready home but you will become part of a lifestyle that most folks only dream about.<br /> <br /> So why would Barb and I want to move from such a beautiful home and a wonderful place to live? Our son is grown and moved on with his life. The house is much too large for just two of us. <br />
