Significance

The Town record confirms a Treanor & Fatio attribution and Mediterranean Revival style. Its historical year is 1928, while the county structural record uses 1930. The previous statement that Town landmark status could not be verified is superseded by the Town's current map record. The county history also provides explicit nominal amounts for later transfers. A nominal amount in the summary does not reveal all consideration, trust beneficiaries, or the parties' purpose, and those matters are not inferred here. The county classifies the parcel as 0100, SINGLE FAMILY, records 1 unit, and reports total parcel building area of 23,526 square feet. That total is not a claim of interior living area. Compare the building and subarea schedule with a measured survey before using it in valuation. The legal description should control parcel matching when street names, historical estate names, or accessory buildings create ambiguity.

    Town historical construction record

Ownership of record

The county summary identifies the owner of record as a trust; personal names are omitted. Its latest instrument reference is Official Records 34313 / 01957. Use that book and page to retrieve the underlying Clerk instrument and compare the legal description with a current title commitment. The summary is an index to that work, not a title opinion. It cannot establish beneficial ownership, signing authority, current occupancy, private agreements, or the absence of a later instrument that has not reached the appraisal record.

Current status

The latest entry in the county sale-history table is dated 8 May 2023, with $10 and instrument type warranty deed. This describes the county record reviewed on 1 October 2026. It does not establish current availability or all terms of a transaction.

Buyer diligence

  • Match parcel 50-43-43-35-00-001-0110 and the county legal description, 35-43-43, S 300 FT OF N 941.52 FT OF WLY 271.54 FT OF GOV LT 1 LYG E OF & ADJ TO S COUNTY RD R/W, to the survey and title commitment. Do not rely only on the street address or historic estate name when deciding what land and improvements a transaction includes.
  • Retrieve Official Records 34313 / 01957 and the preceding instruments from the Clerk. Compare instrument dates, recording stamps, legal descriptions, and consideration. The 8 May 2023 date here is specifically the date in the Property Appraiser's sale-history table, which can differ from a reported closing date.
  • Reconcile the county's 1 unit count, property-use classification, and 23,526 square feet of total parcel building area with approved plans and an inspection. Accessory structures, garages, and semi-finished areas can affect these fields; the total is not a verified living-area measurement or permission for separate rental use.
  • Obtain the Town landmark designation report and subsequent certificates of appropriateness. The current Town review page assigns landmark and historically significant building review to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Establish the required review for the specific exterior, landscape, or courtyard work before pricing a renovation.
  • Compare the building card, permit history, and physical inspection. A recorded construction year is a starting point for locating plans, not a warranty of original materials, present structural condition, or completion of later work. Request records for additions and accessory structures as well as the main house.
  • Obtain the applicable current FEMA flood map and any elevation certificate before seeking insurance terms. This dossier has not made a parcel flood-zone determination, priced coverage, inspected flood mitigation work, or confirmed the condition of drainage, seawalls, roofing, or concealed building systems.

What the record cannot show

  • The complete economic terms of a transaction, private agreements, personal property allocations, or the motivation for a nominal transfer.
  • Beneficial ownership behind an entity or trust, current occupants, seller intentions, or the authority of a person to sign a future agreement.
  • Whether historical architectural features remain intact or whether an appraisal characteristic corresponds to permitted, completed work.
  • Current insurance eligibility and pricing, concealed defects, survey encroachments, or all title exceptions. Those require separate records and professional investigation.
