The listing Realtors describes the property:
"Nice family home conveniently located close to everything. This property consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and sits on a large corner lot. Home is moving in ready and waiting for you."

This ranch style house was built in 1952 is CBS construction with an asphalt single roof. Most of the other homes in the immediate area were built around the same time and were of similar design and construction. I walked the block and noted how the yards are all different and how individual owners have added onto the homes.  Many of the neighboring properties have metal roofs, privacy fences in front and rear, and lushly landscaped yards.

2434 Linda Avenue sits on an enormous 7566 sq ft lot. The corner lot is located at the intersection of Linda Avenue and Government Road which leads to the back side of the mangroves and salt ponds to the south.  Click GOOGLE MAP for an aerial perspective of the location and then click the toggle switch for a street view.

In 2010 this home benefited of over $37,000 in the airport noise abatement program that included the replacement of windows, doors, addition of insulation, and new new split system air conditioning.  Electiric system upgrades included "INSTALL BRANCH CIRCUITRY AND AHH, CU AND 3 SPLIT DUCTLESS A/C SYSTEM, SMOKE DETECTORS WITH ASSOC BOXES AND OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION; EXTEND EXISTING SUB-FEED PANEL TO ENW 100 AMP LOAD CENTER WITH ASSOC CONDUIT AND FEEDERS". This, Dear Reader, is money well spent and it is something a new homeowner will benefit from for years.

The house was in an area that flooded during Wilma. It looked to me as though everything was was replaced on the inside including drywall, kitchen, and bath.  There is new tile and wood flooring throughout. 

In my opinion there is an overly large and obtrusive patio type roof that overwhelms the back of this home. I think a former owner might have used the area as a covered work space. A new owner could rip that sucker off and take advantage of the really large yard. There is an existing small building that a new owner might convert to a pool house or bar overlooking the new pool.  The back area is huge. Use it! The front, side, and back yards would look so much more attractive and provide much more privacy if a nice fence was installed around the property. Finally, a new owner should do some much needed landscaping. This home would look so much better if the hard edges were honed with some soft-scaping.
