The couple was looking to escape the cold winters and find a sunny, South Florida home in Stuart. Sailors by nature, they knew they wanted to be close to the water and it took them two flights down and days of touring until they found the pefect match.

Nestled near Snug Harbor on St Lucie Blvd, they found a half of a duplex with a deeded boat slip – bingo! Only about 5 houses from the water, they didn’t care that the home would need a little remodeling, all they wanted was the salty breeze in their hair.

The kicker? They snagged this estate sale for only $125,000!
As first time home buyers they will also be taking advantage of the 2009 $8,000 tax credit so let the remodeling begin!
