Some deals on Tybee Island

My morning routine is to check Savannah MLS first thing in the day. I review the current listings, price reductions, currently under contract and recently sold on Tybee Island. I thought I would share some deals that I see out in the market. Let me know if you would like some additional information on any of the properties. 912-441-0617 or sbentley@bellsouth.net

1406 Solomon - reduced today to 339,900. 2 bedrooms i bathroom upstairs and downstairs could be used as commercial or one bedroom one bath per listing agent. Current tax valuation per Chatham County is 617,000. It is currently bank owned.

22 Pulaski - 349,000 - It is also a 2 bedroom and one bath concrete block built in the Fort Screven in the 1930's. Only one house back from the oceanfront. House next door which has an ocean view (has been built up) is currently listed 1,290,000. So, great potential!

204 Polk - heading for auction block very soon!! Currently listed for 308,900. The previous owner purchased the house for 650,000 10/2006. Chatham County has the tax valuation at 524,000. It does have an somewhat unusual floor plan, but with some creativity could be easily solved. The auction is being held in Atlanta - so let me know if you want to see the house and I can register you for the auction.

So, today just FYI on the Tybee market. Let me know if folks are interested in recent sales on Tybee Island and I can put together a list for the next blog.........

Enjoy the day

Their permanent home is North Dakota , but decided to spend some time on Tybee Island Fio shared was willing to share her wonderful recipe of her Tiramisu and Mike worked. Thanks Fio and Mike --- enjoy everyone

Fio's Tiramisu

Ingredients:
· 5 eggs, separated
· 8 tablespoons sugar
· 16 oz soft cream cheese or the same amount of Mascarpone cheese (very expensive in US)
· 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
· 2 packages of ladyfinger cookies - about 44 cookies (I used a brand called Alessi's; found them in Publix)
· 2 or 3 tablespoons of Brandy (or more...it depends on your taste)
· expresso coffee (2 cups)
· cocoa powder as needed to shake on top of finished product
· 1 pan (glass or foil)


1. separate the eggs
2. add 5 tablespoons of sugar to the yolks; beat with electric mixer until creamy
3. put cream cheese and heavy cream in a different bowl; beat until creamy
4. add the eggs + sugar mixture to the cream cheese mixture; mix well
5. add the Brandy to the cream
6. beat the egg whites until firm
7. add them gently (with a spatula) to the egg/cheese mixture
8. make the expresso coffee
9. add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the coffee and, maybe, some water if the expresso taste is too strong for you
10. pour some cream cheese mixture on your pan
11. dip the cookies (one at a time) in the coffee and lay them on the pan (ladyfingers absorb liquid quite quickly, so you need not take much time to do this
12. make a layer of cookies, then pour a thick layer of cream cheese mixture
13. make another layer of cookies and another layer of cream cheese mixture
14. finish sprinkling cocoa powder on top of the cream
15. refrigerate at least 5 hours before eating (it' s usually better the next day)
