A depressed market is always a mixed blessing. It sometimes makes the impossible possible. Take the house I just saw at 138 Cypress Cove, in the Jupiter gated community of Stonebriar. This 1994 contemporary 5-bedoom, 3 ½-bath home is really quite perfect.

Perfectly maintained and immaculate. Perfectly situated on an end lot with all kinds of room for a private pool. Perfectly designed with air, light space…archways, cutouts, vaulted ceilings and lots of nooks. Perfectly accessible to A-rated schools, churches and temples well within walking distance. Perfectly active … with a canal for kayaking and canoeing, a community pool and tennis courts to exercise and socialize. And perfectly placed along winding, tree-lined Maplewood, across from multi-million dollar homes in the Loxahatchee Club. (That alone makes it a standout!).

Yet this particular American dream is now available for only $389,000…with remarkably low HOA dues ($389 a quarter). Sound impossible. I thought so, too. I thought at this price…has to be a catch. But guess what…there isn’t. That house is a dream. Possibly perfect for one of you.
