490 Northwest 29th Avenue

**ATTENTION INVESTORS AND SAVVY OWNER-OCCUPANTS** Hard-to-find cosmetic fixer-upper in one of Fort Lauderdale’s most centrally located and rapidly appreciating pockets. The owner’s retirement gives you the rare chance to secure this spacious 3 bed / 2 bath home at the lowest price per sq ft in the area by far. Some cosmetic TLC may be required, but all major big-ticket items have already been completed and absolutely no known major issues. So what makes this one so special? 1) All new interior and exterior electrical feeds, with brand new electrical boxes installed in 2024. 2) Both bathrooms fully remodeled in April 2023, featuring modern finishes, a glass half-wall shower requiring no curtain, double-sink vanity, and bathtub. 3) Brand new impact windows installed throughout in January 2020, excluding only the two rear windows. 4) New central HVAC system installed in 2019, along with three additional wall units for flexible supplemental room-by-room cooling. 5) New tile roof installed in January 2015. 6) Kitchen fully gutted and remodeled in 2011, featuring newer fixtures and solid wood oak/maple-toned cabinetry. 7) All new interior doors throughout the home, excluding the laundry room door. 8) Insulated Florida room offering valuable additional flex space for relaxing, working from home, entertaining, or future customization. 9) Dedicated laundry room providing convenient interior utility space and additional storage potential. 10) Private yard featuring a newer partial privacy fence and six-foot chain-link fencing. 11) City water and sewer, with the yard irrigation supplied by a private well and a new well pump installed in 2022. 12) Incredibly central Fort Lauderdale location, just 3 minutes from shopping, dining, gyms, groceries, and entertainment, and only a 6 miles straight down Sistrunk Boulevard to Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Work Needed: Interior and exterior painting, including portions of the carport and carport ceiling. Some lower fence planks may need replacement or a border added, and landscaping TLC needed. The Florida room ceiling requires drywall or beadboard finishing where pegboard was previously installed. The laundry room needs new shelving, flooring, and a replacement door. Terrazzo floors may benefit from restoration. The kitchen lazy Susan cabinet needs a replacement shelf. Two small ceiling openings from a prior electrical run need patching, one near the laundry room and one near the primary bedroom entry. The roof would also benefit from cleaning.
