What to check on this one

  • Verify exact flood zone; request FEMA flood map & elevation certificate if in AE/VE.
  • Get roof inspection report; metal roof age/condition & remaining warranty.
  • Order 4-point inspection (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for 1956 build.
  • Confirm HVAC age, capacity, and service history; get maintenance records.
  • Check for polybutylene or cast-iron plumbing; request plumber inspection if present.
  • Inspect workshop structure for code compliance, permits, and foundation condition.

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
