186 Avenue E, Pt Saint Joe, FL 32456

Welcome to historic Port St Joe! Now that the structure at 186 Ave E has been freshly razed, you have a vacant lot so versatile, you'll need a vision board to narrow down the possibilities: X-Flood Zone (rubber ducky stays in the tub), sized 50x118 ft, current R-2B zoning and a Future Land Use so bright, you'll need shades (marked Mixed Use per Ordinance 553—yes, it's official). Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure story. R-2B zoning is the Swiss Army knife of urban planning. Go classic with a single-family home, get creative with a multi-family palace, or community-minded with a guest house, clinic, or sanctuary for retired cats. Dream of opening a low-traffic service business? The city's got your back (Nix disco bowling alley or drive-thru goat rodeo off the list). Build up to 60 ft tall, cover 60% of the lot, and stack up to 7 units/acre. Setbacks? 15 ft front and back, and side yards as slim as 7 ft. For the real estate overachiever who thinks small is for mortals, mixed-use FLU lets you go full developer mode: 15 res units/acre and commercial footprints that gulp up 90% of the lot. Location? 2/10's of a mile from shopping (snacks!!), under 1/2 mile from restaurants (taco Tuesday, anyone?), and 6/10's mile to the Washington St Rec Center and Peters Park—where you can shoot hoops, hit the walking trail, or judge other people's picnic setups. The marina, fishing spots, and Bay are a quick bike ride away, so bring sunscreen and your best fish tales. Don't hang your hat on the seller's current property taxes—rate changes occur faster than autocorrect turns “yes” into “yeehaw” post-sale/improvement (basis change). The current structure? The house that should not be, won't. The city called it unsalvageable (Ordinance 296); sellers signed off on demo. Translation: clean slate, zero haunted house vibes.
