Sure, it's 1924 Termite Colony, but wait...

It's RIGHT on the RIVER. I mean right on the bank. Better pay attention to late night arrivals, we don't want another Chappaquiddick here!


Yes, we found termite wings, frass and pellets everywhere, the swarm must have been prodigious, maybe setting a 87 year record for this little 714 sq ft cottage. Yes, we also found dry rot and a few powder post beetles too. What do you expect? It's an old frame structure in tropical Florida. The surprising thing is that it survived such neglect, certainly a testimony to Florida heart pine and the protective resins found in most of this old-growth lumber. So, you may ask why did Cracker Joe take on this seemingly hopeless case of historical preservation?


It certainly wasn't the charming interior, last remodeled in mid-century kitsch.


Nope, it wasn't the remodeled kitchen with the authentic 1960's turquoise kitchen sink either.


Did I mention the beautiful views?
