About This Property

Description from listing agent

Resort-style, spacious 3,942 sq ft home with screened saltwater pool and 3-car garage, packed with big-ticket upgrades and room for everyone. Fantastic for multigenerational living, guests, or a big household. A complete solar system (paid off at closing) keeps FPL bills very low along with HVAC systems from 2018 and 2023, a 2022 roof, recent exterior paint, and city water/sewer. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with stainless steel and a huge walk-in pantry, perfect for storage and entertaining. The flexible layout includes a private downstairs suite for guests or in-laws, plus five bedrooms upstairs—three with their own baths —and a loft perfect for a media, game, or play room. Outside, enjoy the screened saltwater pool, a vinyl-fenced yard with plenty of green space for pets, play, or gardening, and a storage shed. Irrigation is on a separate well. Inside, this home is ready for fresh paint and new flooring, giving you the chance to personalize the interior!

How we match comps

Comps are pulled directly from the Space Coast MLS — sold sales only, closed within the last 180 days. We apply hyper-local matching criteria in this order:

  • Same property type, always (single family, condo, townhouse, etc.)
  • Single-story homes compared only to single-story (and multi to multi)
  • Exact bedroom count
  • Bathrooms within ±0.5
  • Garage spaces within ±1
  • Pool status must match
  • Waterfront status must match
  • HOA must match (HOA community vs. no HOA)
  • Price within ±5–20% of list price (tightest in early tiers)
  • Square footage within ±10–25% (tighter in early tiers)
  • Year built always within ±5–20 years (never dropped)

We search in tiers, expanding the radius only as needed — starting in the same subdivision within 1 mile, then 2 miles, then the same neighborhood within 3 miles, and the same zip code within 5 miles as a last resort. For luxury homes ($5M+), where nearby comps are scarce, we widen the search to 5–20 miles. Year built is always required so comps are from the same era of construction. The median is weighted toward nearer sales, and sales within the last 90 days count 2× to reflect current market conditions.

Median estimate is based on similar active listings and homes that have sold within the last 180 days in this area, as reported through Brevard MLS. This is not an appraisal or a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Before making an offer, work with a licensed real estate agent to obtain a CMA, or hire a certified real estate appraiser for an independent valuation.
