4195 E Railroad Ave is a 1958 frame single-family home in Cocoa, FL 32926, 5 bedrooms and 2 baths across 1,456 square feet, on a paved street in Brevard County with wooded cover along the side and rear. This is a full renovation with a scope you can price on one page. The roof over the front of the house is sound and the rear has a leak. The kitchen and both baths are down to a remodel. One window at the front is cracked. That is the list. The electrical has already been done recently and the house carries two meters, which is the most expensive line item on a 1958 house and the one most projects on this street are still paying for. City water and public sewer already serve the property, both connected, so work starts on utilities that are in and permitted instead of on a system that has to be budgeted. Inside, the house is opened up and staged for finish work rather than sitting behind demolition. Walls are patched and taped, floors are down to plank, and new flooring material is on site. The living room holds a masonry fireplace with built-in shelving beside it. Two rooms keep their original wood plank ceilings, a surface that gets drywalled over on almost every home this age. Every bedroom has its own closet and several have two, so the layout rents as drawn without moving walls. The bath has a tub and shower with a tile surround and a vanity in place. A dedicated interior laundry space with hookups sits off the kitchen, and the kitchen runs a full 12 by 12 with room for an island or a peninsula once cabinets go back. The living room measures nearly 16 feet long, which is what lets this house hold five bedrooms without cutting the common space down. Outside, a full-length wood deck and railed walkway wrap the side and rear and open onto tall palms, oaks, and a treed rear line that screens the property on every side. Louvered shutters stay with the windows. The street is paved to the property line. This is the largest house on this stretch of E Railroad Ave. The nearest comparable houses on the same street run roughly 700 to 720 square feet, and several parcels around them are moving as raw land in a multi-parcel liquidation, which puts a finished five bedroom, two bath house of this size in a class of its own here whether the exit is resale or a hold. Two units and two electric meters give the next owner two income streams under one roof instead of one, and the recent electrical work is what makes that practical. Cocoa sits in the middle of Brevard County on Florida's Space Coast, inland from the beaches and inside the Cocoa and Rockledge work corridors, which is the demand that keeps occupancy tight in this zip code. Investors, flippers, and owner-builders hunting a 1950s Brevard County rehab with utilities in and electrical done should walk this one first. Sold as-is, seller makes no repairs.
