Virtually Staged. 1636 SE Arapaho Ave is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single-family home with 1,260 square feet of living space on a 0.172 acre lot, approximately 7,492 square feet, in the Lawler Heights neighborhood of Stuart, Martin County, Florida 34994. Built in 1971. Single story. Concrete block construction. City water and city sewer. No HOA. The three items that decide whether a 1971 house is worth owning are the roof, the cooling and the water heater, and all three are already handled here. The shingle roof was redone approximately six years ago in 240 to 260 pound composition shingle. In Florida, roof age is the first question that comes up on a house from this era, and on this one it is already answered. Central air conditioning serves the whole house from a condenser at the rear wall. The water heater is new, and it sits in an interior closet rather than mounted outside where the weather gets to it. That is the expensive end of a house this age, done, with no timeline hanging over it. The house is concrete block rather than frame, which is what holds up best in this market for a house from this era. It is a single story plan with no stairs and no second floor structure to maintain. There is no carpet anywhere in the house. Tile runs through every room, including all three bedrooms, which is not typical for this age of house, where bedrooms were almost always carpeted. Flooring is usually the first thing that has to be spent on in a house like this, and here it is already done, with nothing to pull out and nothing that holds humidity. This is a true 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom plan, not a 3 bedroom with one and a half baths. Both bathrooms are full baths and they are configured differently, one with a tub and shower combination and one with a walk in shower, so the two are not interchangeable and nobody is queued behind a single shower. All three bedrooms have their own closets. The living room, kitchen and dining area connect as one open run through the middle of the house, and sliding glass doors open from the dining area to the back yard, so the main living space works as one connected area rather than a series of small closed rooms. The washer and dryer are in place in a separate interior laundry room off the kitchen, which also holds the electrical panel. A dedicated laundry room inside the air conditioned space, rather than a hookup in a hallway closet or on an exterior wall, is not standard in a house this size. The kitchen is set up with a full size electric range and oven, a built in microwave, a refrigerator and a tall pantry cabinet, so the appliance package is already there. There is no HOA, which means no dues, no association approval process and no architectural review. The property is on city water and city sewer, so there is no well pump to replace, no water treatment equipment and no septic tank or drainfield to maintain. The 0.172 acre lot has grass front and back, a concrete driveway, a concrete patio off the rear sliding doors and a tree line along the rear property line, so there is usable open space behind the house. There is no pool and no garage, so there is no pool equipment and no pool service to carry. Lawler Heights is a Stuart 34994 neighborhood of single story concrete block houses on wide residential streets, with no homeowners association. Stuart is the county seat of Martin County and sits on Florida's Treasure Coast, with downtown Stuart, the St. Lucie River waterfront, shopping and dining all within the city.
