About This Property
Description from listing agentSeller is offering $20,000 credit towards buyers' property remodel with acceptable offer. Every home has a story, but few can claim a place in space exploration history.

This Tortoise Island waterfront residence offers breathtaking water views, elegant finishes, and an effortless blend of sophistication and coastal charm. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open floor plan flows seamlessly to a private outdoor oasis featuring a sparkling pool, expansive patio, and tranquil waterfront setting with a private dock. Community amenities include tennis courts, a clubhouse, fitness center, playground, and private beach access. Just minutes from top-rated schools, dining, shopping, and the Atlantic Ocean, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of luxury, waterfront living, and American space history.

How we match comps
Comps are pulled directly from the Space Coast MLS — sold sales only, closed within the last 180 days. We apply hyper-local matching criteria in this order:
- ✓Same property type, always (single family, condo, townhouse, etc.)
- ✓Single-story homes compared only to single-story (and multi to multi)
- ✓Exact bedroom count
- ✓Bathrooms within ±0.5
- ✓Garage spaces within ±1
- ✓Pool status must match
- ✓Waterfront status must match
- ✓HOA must match (HOA community vs. no HOA)
- ✓Price within ±5–20% of list price (tightest in early tiers)
- ✓Square footage within ±10–25% (tighter in early tiers)
- ✓Year built always within ±5–20 years (never dropped)
We search in tiers, expanding the radius only as needed — starting in the same subdivision within 1 mile, then 2 miles, then the same neighborhood within 3 miles, and the same zip code within 5 miles as a last resort. For luxury homes ($5M+), where nearby comps are scarce, we widen the search to 5–20 miles. Year built is always required so comps are from the same era of construction. The median is weighted toward nearer sales, and sales within the last 90 days count 2× to reflect current market conditions.
Median estimate is based on similar active listings and homes that have sold within the last 180 days in this area, as reported through Brevard MLS. This is not an appraisal or a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Before making an offer, work with a licensed real estate agent to obtain a CMA, or hire a certified real estate appraiser for an independent valuation.
