5508 9TH AVENUE N

Step into the charm of classic mid century design with the comfort and efficiency of modern upgrades in this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bath concrete block home built in 1952. Timeless architectural details, including original period cove plaster walls in the main living areas, give the home warmth and character while thoughtful improvements make everyday living easy and worry free. Major systems have already been addressed for peace of mind. The shingle roof was replaced in 2018 prior to the installation of solar panels, helping protect both the home and your investment. The solar system (OWNED OUTRIGHT) is on an assumable annual MAINTENANCE plan with documentation available and keeps monthly electric bills impressively low, typically ranging between $30 and $60. The main electrical panel and associated wiring were fully updated in 2024. Duke Power service runs underground and wireless internet is provided without exterior cables, maintaining clean curb appeal. Storm protection and comfort were top priorities. Seven hurricane security windows were installed in 2024, primarily along the west and south exposures. Both the front and back porches were newly roofed and screened in Summer 2024, creating additional shaded living space perfect for morning coffee, evening breezes, or entertaining guests year round. Inside, the renovated kitchen completed in 2020 offers both style and function with granite countertops, stainless appliances, a deep commercial style sink, beer glass washer, generous cabinetry, and a large island that anchors the space. The washer and dryer, purchased in 2024, convey with the home, along with an extra refrigerator and freezer located in the garage. Original character continues with lemon oak floors uncovered in the two front bedrooms, and wood flooring also lies beneath the tile in the main living areas, offering future design flexibility. Storage is abundant with large closets in all three bedrooms, three hallway closets, plus shelving and overhead storage in the garage. The one car garage provides secure parking and additional workspace. Outdoor features are equally inviting. The swimming pool includes a newly installed salt cell in 2025 for easy, low maintenance care. The property has been under regular pest monitoring since January 2024 with termite prevention and exterior rodent control in place. The HVAC system operates efficiently with routinely changed filters. This home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern efficiency, low utility costs, and move in ready convenience. A rare opportunity to own a well cared for mid century gem with smart upgrades already completed.
