Mariner Village Townhomes were built between 2006 and 2008, directly across US-1 (Federal Highway) from Mariner Sands,
in the southern part of unincorporated Martin County.

Structurally superb,and effectively soundproof, construction of these two-story condominium townhomes is CBS,
an important consideration in Florida. They are all 3 bedroom 2.5 baths, and range in size from 1435 SF for the St. Michel model
(with a smaller master suite), to the subject's 1530 SF Sevilla model.

Each two-story townhome also has a garage, a covered front entry, and a covered rear terrace. Monthly HOA is $472.

In Stuart, Florida's zip code 34997 there are a limited number of desirable, well-built, 2-story CBS townhomes overlooking
wooded/green preserve areas,
and located within a ten-mile radius of the subject property in Mariner Village. All are conveniently located near
expressways and shopping (Publix, etc). Potential townhome purchasers will consider each of those communities.

Unless specifically noted, none of the comparable closed sales or currently offered properties, have custom interior trim, custom lighting fixtures,
a covered and screened terrace, easy close accordian storm shutters on all windows and terrace, or an electric stairlift (top of the line Stannah).










AN ALTERNATE PURCHASE OPTION:

IS THIS YOU?

Or does the following describe a gentleman friend who has recently lost a much-loved partner?
The seller has been there. She was recently widowed as well.

Along with everything else one has to deal with, comes the question of whether downsizing, getting a smaller place makes sense.

But rental prices are truly insane. And the rentals that are priced halfway reasonably, tend to strike you as places you'd rather die than have to live in, especially at this point in your life.

Besides, it generally makes more sense to buy, in order to take advantage of appreciation.

But so much of what's for sale is equally outrageously priced these days.

Suppose there was someone in a similar frame of mind. And she had a very nice home in a lovely area. One that continues to appreciate. And she has solid equity built up in her spacious home. Her mortgage is current, as are her HOA fees. IF there's compatibility, it might make sense to offer to buy half.

Why? This is why: She has about $200,000 equity in her place, and her mortgage balance is less than $150,000. $100,000 would buy you half ownership.

She's quite comfortable with a gentleman purchaser. The two of you would be platonic housemates.

***ONLY ABOUT $1,000/month would be your half of the mortgage and HOA. You'd split utilities. ***

Show me what else you could get for a mere $1000 a month in a beautiful home in a nice area, and still have your investment appreciate in value.

(CAVEAT: Occupancy by a 50% purchaser/housemate, would be limited to ONE PERSON ONLY, not a couple, not an adult with a child, not for any type of sublease etc.)
If there's basic compatibility, the Realtor can handle background and credit checks.

And oh, yes...She has a cat.


5140 SE Mariner Garden Circle.

Either $350,000. to purchase
or
$100,000 and approx. $1000/month =
(Representing your monthly share of Principle,Interest,Taxes, Insurance, and HOA dues)
Covers your 50% ownership.
Note: For the right purchaser, owner might consider financing the downpayment.
