Property Description

Pretty in Pink & Packed with Personality! This Coastal Chic Cottage is bursting with character and charm. Nestled among many other equally unique cottages, Braden Castle Park was originally placed on the map in the 1920s when travel and leisure was all the rage. Many Americans took to the highways to explore new locations and headed South to escape their chilly Northern homes. In 1924, Braden Castle Park was incorporated as “The Camping Tourists of America”, an affiliate of the Tin Can Tourists. Today, year-round and seasonal residents alike appreciate the community and all it has to offer. Boating, shuffleboard, fishing and a community hall are all available with low $400 annual HOA dues. Assigned boat slips are available for an additional $300 annually. 8 Desoto St E is masonry construction with an attached one car garage. Once you enter, you are captivated by the current owner’s classic and artistic style – think vintage Barbie meets Lilly Pulitzer – with an Art Deco flair! Hardwood floors, plaster moldings, a decorative fireplace and arched openings are just a few of the historic characteristics that have been preserved. There is one ample sized main bedroom, a spacious hall closet, plus a small secondary room to provide a cozy respite for guests. It’s hard to imagine all this home has to offer in a pint-sized package of 756 sqft of living area, and a 1,699 sqft lot! Best yet, there’s very little to maintain. Most of the furnishings are included.
