Home for Sale - Fish Bay (I thought this was worth sharing)
Home for Sale - Fish Bay (I thought this was worth sharing)
Hi all.
Serendipity is something!
I was chatting with a colleague at work 2 days ago about the islands....and she seemed to know more than the average person. I asked her if she had ever been - and she told me that she owns a house on Fish Bay, STJ - and is planning to sell. In her interest, I am not going to get too specific....but will say that I WISH i had more $$ and was ready to buy. I've now seen pics of the house and the view. Good grief - is this a one of a kind situation and a one of a kind proprty.
I told her that I would be glad to collect names of people who she can alert when she and her hubby are done with a couple of cosmetic touches - which they plan to complete very soon. I'd like to see a forum friend get this one (and invite me down as my repayment for this find - ha ha). There's nothng in this for me. She's a really nice lady with whom I have worked for a couple of years. She said that the home seemed like a great idea when they were younger, but now that they are older, they've settled into a nice life at home in the states and STJ just feels far. I don't think they plan to involve an agent on their end - just want to sell to someone with a dream like they had.
If you want to be on the list I am going to hand over, let me know via PM.
Here is what she wrote to me (I have removed the identifying into)....
"The lot is .64 acre (2/3) acre with the house in the front of the property. There is room at the back of the lot for a 2nd house to be built. The back property line is contigious with the National Park so it can never be developed. The house is 1/2 concrete and 1/2 wood. It has 3 decks on 3 levels. The main floor has 2 bedrooms, a great room with kitchen with 1 bath. The seond bedroom has a 10 by 10 space which is scheduled to become a bathroom. The upper floor is currently rented as a 2 bedroom apt. with kitchen, bathroom and decks. It has a seperate outside entrance. The road up to the house is concrete as is the drive way. The lower floor contains the pump room, 15,000 gal. concrete cistern and large storage room with deck."

Hi everyone. Quite a few of you have PM'd me about this house - but very few of you have sent me your email address. Please share you email with me, via PM, if you want to be copied on any info from the owner. I am only passing the info along to the owners. I don't know the asking price or have any more details. I'm not buying and won't get compensated for the sale, so I don't care 
):lol:
I am compiling the list of intersted parties now since I am leaving for STT in 2 days and want to have this to her before then.
Best of luck to everyone interested. I only WISH I had to funds for this!
