This home features a one-level floor plan with two large bedrooms and two baths. There’s a separate dining room, fireplace and wood accents. The views are wonderful! The house needs work as there are foundation issues and some pilings will need to be replaced. The dock was severely damaged during a tropical storm in 2012.

4-Point Inspections for Beach Houses
Purchasing insurance is an important part of buying a home on St. George Island or anywhere in Franklin County, Florida. If your home is over 30 years old, your insurance company will require a Four Point Inspection. This short-form inspection covers electrical system, plumbing system, HVAC systems, including new AC unit installation, and roof. If you are selling an older home, it may be helpful to have this inspection done prior to listing your home. If they house fails on any of the four points, this will affect your insurance and financing for the property. The cost of a 4-Point is currently $125 to $150. If you are a buyer, your home inspector may be able to do this at the same time for a discounted rate.

Flood Insurance Rates to Increase October 1
The Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, passed by Congress, mandates flood insurance rate changes which will be effective October 1, 2013. It is estimated the average flood insurance premium will increase 10% under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The increases will vary by zones with the largest ones in the coastal V and A zones. Also, the FEMA flood zone maps were recently updated for St. George Island and Franklin County, changing the zones for many properties. As we approach hurricane season, it’s a great time to contact your insurance agent to review your policies and get more information on the changes scheduled for October.
