The
house is located in the Sombrero Beach area of Marathon at mile
marker fifty. It is on a small island that has forty building
lots, twenty seven of which have homes. There is an eighteen
month moratorium on building right now, so it is not likely anything
else will be built soon. As you can see by the pictures, it is
located on a large body of water that is formed by the meeting
of three canals. There is a dock and beach access to the water
in our backyard.
It
was built in 1979 and has been remodeled several times.
It has an apartment on the first level with a bedroom, bathroom,
and small kitchen. Perfect for all the "guests" we
expect to have and look forward to entertaining.
We
did close on the house September 12th! Adrienne got the part
of Martha in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf" in the Marathon
Community Theater production starting January 8th, and we purchased
a Regulator 26' two weeks after we came down at the end of
October! Furniture is coming (although slowly) and landscaping
started Dember 1st. We've only been here a little over a month
but alot has happened, and all of it has been great. Looks
like we made the right choice.
