Lido Key Condo Foreclosure

I showed this condo last Saturday to some out of town buyers. The condo has not been taken back by the bank yet but it looks like it will. It was purchased in May of 2005 for $435,600 and is now listed for $285,000. Embassy Villas is a cute complex only a few blocks from Lido Key beach. This would be a great winter or weekend getaway. The unit is not in fabulous shape but a coat of paint, a deep cleaning, good decorating and some nice furniture and this place would be spectacular. It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom town house with 1,090 square feet.
