“We weren’t planning on moving, but this house presented itself,” Betsy Shiverick says. “It went to auction, and nobody was really interested in taking on this challenge, so we decided to.” They like the idea, she says, ‘of being stewards of the house,” and so after some deliberation, they decided to put their existing home on the market.
“It can appeal to a number of different buyers,” Paul Shiverick says. “It’s a family-oriented home, but it’s really for anyone who wants to be on the water.”
Even though the house is new, he says, the property has a variety of mature trees; in the few years they’ve lived there, plants have quickly filled out the grounds. “That’s the nice thing about living in Florida,” he says. “You get instant landscaping.”
