Where is the Extreme Makeover Hurston Home Located?

The buzz of the Hurston home build by ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition is all over the Space Coast! I've even had several people in the past few days ask me, "Where exactly is the Hurston house?"

Well, let's get that out of the way. The house and property are located at 5560 Fan Palm Ave in Cocoa, Florida. When the show airs on February 13th, they may also identify the location as Canaveral Groves, an unincorporated area of Brevard County.

Ways To See The Hurston House

If you're going to see the house while it's under construction, you'll need to head to the Cocoa Landfill located at the Central Disposal Facility, 2250 Adamson Road, Cocoa, Florida, 32926. The "Extreme" entrance is actually one driveway further north from the 2250 address, so stay alert. Once there, you'll be directed to a parking lot and board a shuttle bus. This bus will take you several miles and right into the Extreme Makeover build site. I'd recommend that you grab a seat on the right side of the bus for a great view of the back of the home as you come down the road and into the Extreme event area.

As for other ways to see the home, don't miss LifeStyle's live construction cam care of Teksita Corporation. Visit LifeStyle's web page by clicking here and then hover on "Follow The Build". A link for the "Live Video Feed" will appear. Click and enjoy.

But that's not the only way to see the property. Bing and Google Maps have always been a fun way to find things via satellite coverage (like the $100 million abandoned Florida theme park I wrote about last year. Now that place would be a cool place for a makeover! Ty, you hearing this? Ha ha.)

To see the Hurston home via satellite, follow the appropriate links below. Note, you'll likely see a two-story blue house. This is the "old" home that was demolished to make room for the new LifeStyle Homes creation. The Google Street View will really surprise those of you who have been to the site -- an extensive amount of trees and brush has been cleared from the property. Why, you can't even see the home down the darkened driveway. (Boy, has that changed!)

Construction is nearing completion, so if you're nearby, get out and see it in person! Admission is free and they're open from 8am to 8pm. Twitter followers can also search on #EMHE (Extreme Makeover Home Edition) and follow the latest requests and excitement.

The final reveal to the family will reportedly occur between 1 pm and 3 pm on Friday, January 11, 2011.

What an amazing fun thing to be happening in Brevard county!

Can't wait for the Extreme Team and volunteer call.... "Bus driver, move that bus!"
