Beautiful waterfront property. Minutes to downtown Milton by boat or vehicle. Impressive views from Master Bedroom and back deck that runs the length of the house. Approx. 65' directly on Blackwater River. Bring your boat or jet skis and enjoy one of the most pristine rivers in the state. Just a quick ride to the bay. Perfect for all types of water recreation, fishing and kayaking. Seawall in place with expanded dock on the river. Currently a 2/2, but could easily be converted back to 3 bedrooms, however, it is a great set up for a home office. This home is sold as is. There are few cosmetic repairs needed. Owner is packing and home is ready for the new owner. PRICED to SELL. Bring your offer. This is not a short sale or foreclosure.
