This house has a backyard oasis! Surprised to see a fireplace in the kitchen of a house this age. The home was built in 1930. It is located on .36 acre in Wildwood, Florida. The house features an enclosed front porch, wood floors, spacious kitchen and decent sized bathrooms. The interior feels a bit dark. Getting rid of paneling or painting it would help. The backyard is nice! There are patios, a gazebo and an arbor. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,230 square feet. $185,000
