What to check on this one
- Confirm flood zone designation and get elevation certificate for Trout River waterfront.
- Roof inspection critical—1955 home likely needs replacement; verify age and insurer requirements.
- 4-point inspection mandatory; plumbing era (cast-iron/polybutylene) and electrical typical for 1955.
- Survey property lines, canal access legality, and any HOA/deed restrictions on boat moorage.
- Septic system verification—confirm operational status and pumping history if applicable.
- Obtain full 'AS-IS' inspection report before offer; seller refuses repairs or inspection credits.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
