Built in 1952, the house features a traditional, yet open lay out, with oak floors and classic design elements, such as crown moldings, throughout. All of the windows and doors are fully permitted and impact resistant (Permit Date 4/20/2011). The extensive and modern yard lighting was installed in 2024, as was the front porch. The fence was installed in March 2021 (Permit BLD-FEN-21030091 Cty of FtL). The kitchen, laundry room, and rear bath were all renovated in 2015. The den was updated in 2023. The AC air handler was replaced in 2020, and the AC compressor was replaced in 2022. The house is covered by a Termite Tenting Policy.
Owner can provide, upon request, a copy of the title search conducted in January 2025 and affirmed in May 2025, along with a copy of the Title Insurance Commitment report issued in conjunction with that search, and a Boundary Survey of the property taken in July 2024, after the Broward County FEMA flood map was redrawn. The original Survey from when we purchased the house in 1996 is in the Gallery below, as are a video walk through, and floor plan. In addition to the above, copies of our recent May 2025 inspections of the Sewer Line, Mold, and Termites are available on request. The results were all positive (see below).

Flood Zone X
Neither the house, nor 99% of the yard are in a Mandatory Flood Zone, but far SW corner of the backyard (about 4 SF) does fall with in a Mandatory Zone AE. Buyer would need to verify with lender as to whether Flood Insurance would be required. HUD does not require it currently, since no part of the residence touches the Mandatory Zone.
The original house and the Kitchen addition are both raised crawlspace construction, at least 2 feet above grade. The Den addition is concrete slab foundation at grade.
The house has natural gas for the tankless, instant water heater (2022) and a new gas range (2024). The large eat-in Kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including a trash compactor. All appliances are 10 years old or younger. The Kitchen also has built in recycling bins. We do not know when the kitchen addition was added to the house, it was a part of the house when we purchased it in 1996 and appears on a 1992 Survey image. We renovated the Kitchen in 2016.
The Den is plumbed and wired for a wet bar. We do not know when the the Den, west bedroom, and office area were built. They were a part of the house when we purchased it in 1996 and appear on a 1992 Survey image. In 2023, the original wetbar was removed and the old parquet flooring throughout the west side of the house was replaced with brand new water/mold/scratch resistant vinyl plank.
Property has a Termite Tenting Policy that the Buyer may elect to use before closing or to have transferred to their name. Property has been tented twice since 2000. There is no structural damage from termites to the best of our knowledge. However, the outside shed does have termite damage in the SE corner.
The roof has no leaks or structural issues of which we are aware, but it is nearing the end end of its lifespan.
On May 1, 2025, we had our complete sewer line scoped. This was the summary: "[4Star Plumbing] performed a sewer camera inspection of the drain line of 902 SE 12 Court today. A copy of the video was given to [the homeowner] by the technician. In the video we go from the rear bathroom clean-out out to the city connection. We found cast iron piping showing moderate scale buildup and some water holding in the line. There were no major issues seen (cracks, breaks, roots, or bellies)."
On May 6, 2025, we had our home inspected for Mold by United Mold Inspections. The results were NORMAL: "Mold counts are within Normal Range and there is no indication, based on the mold counts, that there is any exposure concern to the occupants."
On May 9, 2025, we had our home inspected for Termites by PDQ Termite Company. There was no evidence of live termites anywhere in the house. The only insect damage found in the house was the old damage, openly disclosed above in the outdoor storage shed: "No live termite evidence was found on interior or exterior of property. Previous termite damage/evidence was found in exterior shed...We do not see any kick out exit holes for the Frass...property was tent Fumigated by us in 2019 and has been kept and is under warranty until December 25 2025."
