About this home
HUGE Price Adjustment in this extraordinary Plum Island retreat, where the soothing sounds of the Atlantic are your everyday backdrop. Situated just steps from the pristine sandy beach on a dead end street , this rare gem sits on a coveted double lot, offering a level of space and privacy that is seldom found on the island. The home has been thoughtfully updated for modern efficiency and peace of mind, featuring upgraded siding and high-quality windows that perfectly frame the coastal light. Sustainability meets savings with a fully owned solar panel system, ensuring an eco-friendly footprint and reduced energy costs for years to come. Adding incredible value is the oversized, two-story detached garage—a versatile space brimming with potential. Whether you envision a private home office and studio, this structure provides the perfect canvas to expand your living requirements. Plenty of parking too !
