Boater's Paradise
Deep water and stunning sunsets make this a heavenly home
BY WHITNEY JOSEPH
It’s a long way from Fort Pierce to Brighton, New York. But that’s not stopping Dave and Deborah Underhill from packing up their belongings and saying adieu to their beautiful waterfront home on South Hutchinson Island. Despite enjoying long days on the open water and nights relaxing in the Jacuzzi, family ties are pulling them north. The couple has opted to spend their golden years watching their two grandsons grow up within arms’ reach rather than 1,300 miles away.
The Underhills say they’re excited about moving closer to their two daughters and their families in Brighton, even if it’s bittersweet to sell their 2,379-square-foot, lagoon-front property. Handling the sale is Fort Pierce Realtor Joanne McCurdy of McCurdy & Co. Realty, a firm with 19 agents and listings throughout the Treasure Coast.
McCurdy described the Underhills’ move-in ready home — “completely upgraded with the most high-end finishes”— as an example of a “true, Florida, coastal-living oasis.”
