Next chapter. Used funds from sale of commercial building in Norwich to purchase a great house in Englewood. FL.4 BED/3 BATH with pool in gated golf community. Englewood is near Manasota Key Beach, a couple miles, which has a beautiful rural setting on the north end and a bit more commercial with restaurants, hotels, boating, parasailing, etc at South end of key. Will be renting the property to friends next year. Jan thru Mar already rented. We call the home Snowbirds of Paradise and the bedrooms after tropical birds. The main bedroom with ensuite is the Flamingo room (king bed and private sitting room/TV). Two other gorgeous large bedrooms on other side of house are the Blue Heron and Snowy White Egret rooms (both with queen beds) that share a bath. The bunkroom also has an ensuite bath that opens to pool for outdoor pool use (full bunk on bottom and twin on top). There is a large eat-in kitchen and formal dining room. The livingroom is spacious and comfortable with 75" viewing of your favorite movies or sports. There is also a sitting room off the Blue Heron room that views the pool. All the main rooms open with sliding doors to a covered lanai and screened in gunite pool with a door to BBQ area. The yard is tropical with palm trees and flowers surrounded by cement fence. I will post pictures shortly. Thanks for checking up on us.

Good news for downtown Norwich. We have a new investor interested in finishing the renovation of 88-90 Main Street. We've sold the building and wish the new owner success with his vision for the building.

Hello Norwich Friends. Ive decided to sell 88-90 Main St. It is a great opportunity to own a piece of Norwich history. I originally purchased the building for my son and his wife. Planned a large apartment on 3rd floor, 2 apartments for lease on 2nd floor and his business in commercial first floor. Unfortunately they decided to stay in Honolulu where all lived for nearly 10 years...I guess some would say that's fortunate for them! I altered the plans and a local Architect Fred Merzak drew up plans for 4 1- bedroom apartments and a commercial 2,000 sq ft space on first floor. We completely demo'd the entire building, removed asbestos, disposed of about 6 30 yd dumpsters of trash, stripped old plumbing and fixtures that were unusable, reinforced ceilings and floors, replaced roofs on 1st and 2nd floors (these roofs extend in the back beyond 3rd floor roof), and enlarged and replaced decks on 2nd and 3rd floors. I had submitted a grant application to NCDC for up to $100k which was approved and was also approved for a $52k lead paint abatement program here in Norwich. Like a friend said to me...if I were 20 years younger, I would jump on this opportunity... that is where I stand right now...I've just lost the enthusiasm that was connected to doing this project for my family... and that's why I'm offering if for sale at the bargain office of $125k. I'm hoping for it to sell quickly to someone with vision. So, I'm a motivated seller and open to negotiating terms. I have invested over $150k in the building and all of it was necessary...so this us a bargain price. I hope to hear from anyone interested. I'm living in Norwich and have a flexible schedule. Call me at 808-927-8056.
