Featured Surfside Home For Sale

**8842 Emerson Av (pictured above) – Mid-century modern bi-level with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, original Terrazzo floors and new plumbing and roof done in 2011.  This home ha hurricane impact windows and doors, has 2,562 sq.ft. of living space and the average lot size of 5,600.  It’s listed at $302/sq.ft. which is higher than 2013’s average but in my opinion, priced well considering the upgrades.  It’s definitely a home ABOVE the average and with great location.
