Read the full listing description
Who wouldn't just love a cottage by the sea, walking distance to the water, on a quiet cul-de-sac, NOT IN A FLOOD PLAIN, and at a price point we rarely see in this prime beach neighborhood? Recent sales on this street were $900K (#56) and $679K (#55). This is an incredible opportunity to make this sweet cottage become whatever you want it to be. Even at its existing sq ftg, this is perfect as a weekend getaway home, a downsizers' nest or for a first time buyer. This home has been meticulously maintained for 42 years, but now is time to move on. Upon entering, you will notice the gleaming hardwood floors & impeccable condition of this home. High ceilings make the space seem larger than it is. A gas fireplace adorns the LR. DR has French sliders to the back deck that overlooks a very private & tranquil backyard. Tax records show this as a 2 BR home, but there are 3 BRs on the 2nd level, one w/o a closet. Updated full bath w/ tiled shower & mosaic inserts. Roof is 5/6 yrs old. HVAC 3 yrs old. Thermal windows, 200 AMP service. All appliances are in good working condition. A partially finished basement features a cool b/i wet bar w/fridge. Plenty of storage space. There is tremendous expansion potential w/ this home, particularly on 2nd floor, made that much easier by not being in a flood plain. This quaint, beach area street did not see any turnover for many years, because once you live here, you don't want to move. Barring radon, health, hazardous conditions, this sale is AS IS.
